Our Houston dentists – Ann E. Haggard, DDS and Lauren Eichblatt, DMD – believe that self-care is the gift that keeps on giving. Whether you’re planning ahead for holiday parties or looking to enter the new year with renewed energy, our advanced PRF microneedling treatment can rejuvenate your appearance with little to no downtime.
Curious about how PRF microneedling works and why it can be ideal for the season? Let’s start with the science behind it.
What Are APCs?
Autologous platelet concentrates (APCs) are a regenerative tool in modern aesthetic and medical care. “Autologous” means the material comes from your own body (in this case, your blood). APCs harness the power of platelets, growth factors, and white blood cells to stimulate tissue repair and renewal.
In aesthetic medicine, APCs have gained popularity because they can encourage natural collagen production, improve circulation, and accelerate healing. For many patients, this makes them an attractive alternative to certain injectable fillers or harsh resurfacing treatments.
There are several types of APCs, including platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and platelet-rich fibrin (PRF).* At Designer Smiles, we’ve integrated PRF into our microneedling protocol to help patients experience visible improvement in skin texture and tone using their body’s own biology.
What Is PRF Microneedling?
PRF microneedling is a powerful yet gentle combination treatment that pairs two proven methods of skin rejuvenation:
- Microneedling: This minimally-invasive procedure uses ultra-fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. The process is designed to stimulate your body’s natural healing response and promote new collagen and elastin production.
- Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF): After a small blood draw, your blood is spun in a special centrifuge to isolate the PRF. This concentrate, rich in platelets and healing cells, is applied to the skin alongside the micro-needles to maximize skin regeneration and speed up healing.
Frequently performed on the face, neck, or décolletage, PRF microneedling can improve:
- Skin tone, texture, and elasticity
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Scars, pores, and hyperpigmentation
When this innovative treatment is in the hands of a qualified provider, it typically results in much brighter, smoother, and firmer skin. What’s more, the microneedling device can be adjusted to suit your complexion and aesthetic goals.
The best news yet: PRF microneedling usually requires no downtime – which means you can schedule your appointment and still be photo-ready in time for the holidays.
