I have had a crazy couple of weeks filled with travel, photo shoots, and lots of zoom meetings! Whenever I have these weeks, I always like to do something to help my skin glow. I called Dr. Eagan at Ascentist Plastic Surgery to see what he recommended for me, and he said Microneedling with PRP without a doubt.

Microneedling with PRP (platelet-rich plasma) is great for improving skin tone and texture, reduces the appearance of scars, and diminished hyperpigmentation. I had no idea what to expect besides the quick google I did (and honestly, that kind of scared me, so I immediately stopped that). The excellent staff at Ascentist made me feel so comfortable and answered all of my questions about the treatment.

Once I got comfortable, I put the numbing cream on. That sat on for like 20 to 30 minutes. While I was getting all numb, they drew a small amount of blood for the PRP. They call PRP liquid gold!

After I was all numbed up and the PRP was separated, it was time to start micro-needling. It was painless! The micro-needling creates little holes, and then the PRP is messaged in them. The whole treatment was maybe 15-20 minutes!

I think the best part is that there was no downtime. I looked like I had a slight sunburn after my appointment and the PRP looked like dried egg whites in some spots.

After two days, my skin was glowing! It looked so even and plump. After just one session! They recommend three treatments about a month apart. I felt so confident after my full week of being in front of the camera and meeting tons of new people!
