What Makes PRP Therapy So Effective?

Peanut butter and jelly. Mustard and hot dogs. Coffee and cream. These are all classic pairings, and if one of the items is missing, the magic is lost.

Did you know that the same holds for certain skin treatments?

At Z-ROC Dermatology, we offer microneedling, a popular nonsurgical treatment that stimulates collagen production in your skin and addresses various skin problems. 

But we’ve seen even more smashing results when we couple microneedling with another innovative treatment — PRP or platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy — a regenerative treatment that harnesses your body’s healing capabilities to improve the texture and look of your skin. 

The respected and accomplished Z-ROC team always aims to create a treatment plan for the pesky skin issues nagging you in particular, whether it’s a chronic condition like rosacea or psoriasis or the unwelcome effects of aging.

When does hurting your skin help it?

Yes, you read that right. Sometimes, making micro-injuries to the skin prompts it to repair itself, resulting in a more glowing, radiant look. 

We offer the popular and well-tolerated microneedling treatment for your skin, which involves your Z-ROC Dermatology provider gently rolling a small pen tool over your face to create minute punctures in your skin. 

These tiny injuries motivate your body’s healing mechanisms to activate collagen and elastin production. These proteins make your skin firm, plump, and resilient. 

Microneedling addresses many skin issues that contribute to aging, including lax skin that has lost its elasticity, skin texture problems, dull skin tone, fine lines, and sun spots. The treatment even minimizes the appearance of acne scars and stretch marks

Our patients come back to microneedling again and again, thanks to its many benefits:

Even better is that we’ve found that combining microneedling with regenerative PRP therapy renders even better results than just microneedling alone.

The power of combining two treatments to reinvigorate your skin 

By adding the PRP component to your treatment regimen, your Z-ROC Dermatology provider can make your skin its healthiest and most beautiful. 

This procedure involves taking a small blood sample from you and spinning it in a device called a centrifuge, which separates your platelets from the other components of your blood. We then reinject the highly concentrated platelets into your face to work their magic with your microneedling treatment. 

The outcome when we combine cosmetic treatments like microneedling with PRP therapy is truly remarkable — years vanish, and you look and feel refreshed and luminous, yet totally natural!
