Reverse Wrinkles with PRP Microneedling
PRP Microneedling Naturally Rejuvenates Skin & Reverses Wrinkles!
Ever wonder how all of those celebrities look like they’re aging in reverse? Revolutionary, new cellular rejuvenation treatments can actually “turn back time” on aging, rversing wrinkles and improving skin tone and texture for more youthful skin. And microneedling with PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) has emerged as one of Hollywood’s most sought-after natural anti-aging treatments, offering remarkable results for fine lines, wrinkles, and skin laxity. At Prosperity Health in the Royal Oak area, Dr. Nishath Hakim provides this advanced combination therapy that has gained popularity among celebrities and everyday patients alike for its ability to stimulate natural collagen production and skin rejuvenation.
The appeal of PRP microneedling lies in its approach to utilizing the body’s own healing mechanisms to achieve younger-looking skin. Unlike traditional anti-aging treatments that rely on synthetic fillers or surgical intervention, this innovative procedure harnesses natural regenerative processes to improve skin texture and appearance. In fact, clinical studies published in the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology show that this combination PRP + microneedling approach can improve skin quality by up to 40% after a series of treatments.
Many patients at Prosperity Health in the Royal Oak area choose this treatment because it offers significant wrinkle reversing results – without the downtime associated with plastic surgery or more invasive procedures. Through careful application of both microneedling and PRP therapy, Dr. Hakim helps patients achieve natural-looking rejuvenation that continues to improve over time.
What Is Microneedling?
Microneedling works through a precise physiological mechanism called controlled mechanical injury. The procedure utilizes a device containing numerous microscopic needles, typically ranging from 0.5 to 2.5 millimeters in length, which create thousands of tiny channels in the skin. These micro-injuries trigger the body’s natural wound healing response, initiating a cascade of regenerative processes that occurs in three distinct phases.
The inflammatory phase begins immediately after treatment, lasting approximately 24 hours. During this time, platelets and neutrophils are recruited to the treatment area, releasing cytokines and growth factors that begin the healing process. The proliferative phase follows, lasting several weeks, during which fibroblasts produce new collagen (particularly Types I and III) and elastin. Finally, the remodeling phase can continue for up to six months, resulting in continued improvement in skin texture and firmness.
At the cellular level, this controlled injury stimulates the production of growth factors and signals fibroblasts to begin producing new collagen and elastin. According to research published in the Journal of Clinical and Aesthetic Dermatology, this process, known as collagen induction therapy, can increase collagen production by up to 400% in treated areas. At Prosperity Health in the Royal Oak area, Dr. Hakim carefully adjusts needle depth based on the treatment area: 0.5mm for delicate areas around the eyes, 1.5mm for general facial rejuvenation, and up to 2.5mm for acne scarring or stretch marks.
The micro-channels created during treatment also serve another crucial purpose: they significantly increase the skin’s ability to absorb therapeutic agents, including PRP, by up to 3,000 times compared to untreated skin. These channels remain open for approximately 15-20 minutes after treatment, creating an optimal window for applying therapeutic substances. This enhanced absorption capability means that beneficial growth factors and healing compounds can penetrate deeply into the skin, maximizing treatment effectiveness.
What is PRP?
Platelet-Rich Plasma is derived from the patient’s own blood – and contains a concentrated source of the body’s own healing factors. The process begins with a simple blood draw at Prosperity Health in the Royal Oak area. The blood is then processed in a centrifuge at specific speeds and durations to optimally separate the platelet-rich plasma from other blood components. This concentration process results in PRP containing up to eight times the normal concentration of platelets and growth factors.
The scientific basis for PRP’s effectiveness lies in its rich composition of growth factors, including Platelet-Derived Growth Factor (PDGF), Transforming Growth Factor-Beta (TGF-β), Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF), Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF), and Fibroblast Growth Factor (FGF). Each of these compounds derived from the patient’s own blood plays specific roles: PDGF stimulates cell replication and new blood vessel formation, TGF-β promotes collagen synthesis, VEGF supports blood vessel development, EGF helps tissue repair, and FGF promotes tissue regeneration.
Recent studies published in the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology have demonstrated that PRP combined with microneedling produces significantly better results than microneedling alone. The synergistic effect has shown up to 62% improvement in skin texture and elasticity when compared to a 45% improvement with microneedling alone. Clinical trials have also documented a significant reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, with results becoming visible within 3-4 weeks and continuing to improve over several months.
Celebrities Who Swear By PRP Microneedling
Jennifer Aniston, now 55, maintains a remarkably youthful appearance compared to her early days on Friends thirty years ago. In interviews, she has attributed her age-defying skin to non-surgical treatments, including microneedling. Her commitment to non-invasive skin rejuvenation demonstrates the long-term benefits of this approach.
The Kardashian family has also embraced microneedling treatments, with Kourtney Kardashian openly sharing her experiences on social media. Her transparency about the procedure has helped normalize this evidence-based approach to skin rejuvenation. Other celebrities reportedly benefiting from microneedling treatments include Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt, and Demi Moore.
Notable health and beauty experts like celebrity aesthetician Mashell Tabe have confirmed that clients including Gwyneth Paltrow and Naomi Watts incorporate microneedling into their skincare regimens. These endorsements from both celebrities and skincare professionals highlight the treatment’s effectiveness across diverse skin types and ages.
Microneedling + PRP to Reverse Wrinkles
The combination of microneedling and PRP creates a powerful synergistic effect in wrinkle reduction. At Prosperity Health, each PRP microneedling treatment begins with a thorough facial cleansing and application of topical anesthetic, which remains on the skin for 20-45 minutes to ensure complete comfort during the procedure.
The treatment process involves multiple passes over each area, with needle depth adjusted according to the specific region being treated and the patient’s skin thickness. The first pass typically focuses on even distribution of micro-injuries, while subsequent passes concentrate on areas of particular concern – such as crow’s feet, lip lines, and other areas of visible or deeper wrinkles. PRP is applied both during and immediately after the needling to maximize absorption through the micro-channels.
Dr. Hakim’s expertise ensures optimal needle depth and treatment intensity for each area: more superficial (0.5-1.0mm) for delicate areas around the eyes and mouth, moderate depth (1.0-1.5mm) for general facial rejuvenation, and deeper penetration (1.5-2.5mm) for specific concerns like deep wrinkles or acne scarring. This customized approach maximizes results while ensuring patient safety and comfort.
Results of PRP microneedling typically become visible within a few weeks after the first treatment – with a reduction in wrinkles and improvement in skin tone and texture continuing over the next several weeks as the skin continues to repair itself. Most patients obtain optimal benefit from a series of 3 or 4 PRP microneedling treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart, with annual maintenance treatments to preserve results.
Other Skin Conditions PRP Microneedling Treats
Beyond wrinkle reduction, PRP microneedling effectively addresses various skin concerns through its ability to stimulate comprehensive skin regeneration. Clinical studies have demonstrated significant improvement in acne scarring, with patients experiencing up to 70% reduction in scar appearance after a series of treatments. PRP microneedling therapy works particularly well for rolling and boxcar acne scars, though ice-pick acne scars may require additional treatment modalities.
PRP microneedling treatment also shows remarkable efficacy in addressing hyperpigmentation and melasma. Research indicates that the controlled injury from microneedling, combined with the growth factors in PRP, helps regulate melanin production while stimulating the formation of new, evenly-pigmented skin cells. Studies have shown up to 40% improvement in melanin indices after a series of treatments.
For patients concerned about enlarged pores, PRP microneedling treatment works by stimulating collagen production around the pore openings, effectively reducing the size and appearance of pores. Clinical data shows an average of 30-40% reduction in pore size after completing a PRP microneedling treatment series.
Additionally, the increased collagen production stimulated by PRP microneedling helps improve overall skin texture and tone. Stretch marks and surgical scars also respond well to this combination therapy. The mechanical breakdown of scar tissue combined with PRP’s regenerative properties can improve scar appearance by up to 50-60% after a series of treatments. The procedure stimulates the production of new, healthy collagen fibers that better match the surrounding skin texture.
