PRP for acne scars has been proven to help individuals drastically reduce acne scarring in just a few treatments. Here’s how it works and some insight to help you decide if it’s right for you.
If you have difficulty with acne and developed acne scarring, the first thing you need to know is that you aren’t alone.
According to the Cleveland Clinic, 80% of people between the ages of 11 and 30 experience acne on their face, chest, back, or in all three places. And 20% of those individuals will develop acne scars.
It’s such a common occurrence among teens and adults. But it can often seem like there aren’t any reliable options to treat the scars after they develop.
But PRP is proving to be one of the most effective options to help individuals overcome their acne scars and feel confident in their skin again.
At Valley Medical Weight Loss and Med Spa, we’ve helped countless patients across Phoenix, Tempe, Glendale, and Chandler reduce the appearance of acne scarring and restore their confidence with PRP treatments
PRP stands for platelet-rich plasma.
Plasma and platelets come from your blood. Your blood has many proteins and enzymes circulating in it that help your body function. Those proteins specifically found in your plasma improve cell growth and collagen production.
Why PRP works:
What PRP contains:
To collect the platelet-rich plasma for your treatment, your doctor draws a small amount of blood from your arm. Your blood is put into a centrifuge, which separates your blood so the plasma can be removed and used for your procedure.
Step-by-step process:
While a standard microneedling procedure can help with acne scars, the combination with PRP has measurable benefits.
The research is detailed:
In one study, 50 patients went through a microneedling procedure where one half of their face received standard microneedling treatment. And the other half of their face used PRP microneedling.
The results clearly favored using PRP in the process. The side of their faces without PRP measured a 45.84% improvement in their acne scarring. While the side with PRP had a 62.20% improvement.
That’s a 16% greater improvement with PRP!
