Problem and Solution:

Scars are the result of the body's wound healing process and can lead to uneven skin texture and appearance. PRP Microneedling utilizes the body’s own healing mechanisms by applying PRP to the treated area, enhancing the skin's ability to regenerate and diminish scar tissue.

How Does PRP Microneedling Work for Scars?

The process involves creating micro-injuries in the scarred tissue with microneedles, which initiates the body’s wound healing response. The application of PRP, which is rich in growth factors, augments this process, encouraging the remodeling of scar tissue and the formation of new collagen and elastin fibers.

Why We Like PRP Microneedling for Scars:

We value the targeted approach PRP Microneedling offers for scar treatment, promoting intensive healing and noticeable improvement in scar appearance without extensive downtime or more invasive procedures.

    Anna K.

    After successfully treating my acne with AcneClinicNYC, I was planning to address my hair issues at another clinic. However, my esthetician offered their PRP hair treatment (done on the scalp), and it turned out to be More... half the price of the place I was considering. I love my results. Thank you for transforming both my skin and hair!

    I came to AcneClinicNYC to treat my scars, and I also had acne at the time. Veronika said we should tackle the acne first. My skin cleared up fast, and then they did three PRP treatments. This got rid of all my acne scars. Now my More... skin is even-toned and smooth, and a lot of people have noticed.

    My daughter was treated for acne at AcneClinicNYC, and I always wanted to try PRP for anti-aging (I’ve read a lot about it being the most gentle way of rejuvenation). Oh my gosh, I fell in love with this treatment. I do four sessions a year More... now and plan to stick with it. Every treatment feels like a breath of fresh air, and I can see how thankful my skin is: bright, tight, and lifted!

    I came in for a scars consultation, and Alexandra told me I didn't need aggressive treatments like lasers because my scarring wasn’t severe or old. She recommended PRP or microneedling with exosomes, which sounded best for More... my situation. I ended up choosing PRP, and it worked well for my scars. My pores are now smaller and tighter.
