Every day, your skin is exposed to the damaging effects of sunlight, pollution, and environmental stressors, which contribute to wrinkles, fine lines, hyperpigmentation, and skin texture issues. At American Medical Center in Damascus, we proudly offer Microneedling with PRP — a non-invasive, highly effective treatment that rejuvenates your skin naturally.
What Is Microneedling?
Microneedling — also known as collagen induction therapy — uses a specialized device with fine needles to create micro-injuries on the skin’s surface. These controlled micro-punctures stimulate the body’s natural healing response, leading to:
-
Increased collagen and elastin production
-
Smoother, firmer skin
-
Improved texture and tone
Microneedling is non-abrasive, non-chemical, and suitable for many common skin concerns.
What Is PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma)?
PRP is derived from your own blood and is rich in growth factors and healing proteins. After drawing a small amount of your blood, we use a centrifuge to isolate the platelet-rich plasma, which is then:
-
Injected into the skin in targeted areas
-
Applied topically during microneedling for enhanced absorption
PRP stimulates collagen production and boosts cell regeneration, leading to healthier, more youthful-looking skin.
Who Is a Candidate for Microneedling with PRP?
This treatment is ideal for:
-
Adults with mild skin imperfections (wrinkles, acne scars, fine lines)
-
Individuals who want to improve skin texture, tone, and elasticity
-
Those seeking a natural, non-surgical facial rejuvenation method
If you have deeper wrinkles, significant sagging, or more complex skin issues, we may recommend HALO™ laser resurfacing as an alternative or complementary treatment.
Is Microneedling with PRP Painful?
-
The procedure is minimally uncomfortable
-
A topical numbing cream is applied before treatment
-
There is no downtime, but sun protection is crucial for a few days post-treatment
What Results Can I Expect?
Microneedling with PRP delivers visible, long-lasting results:
-
Reduction in fine lines and wrinkles
-
Improved skin texture and firmness
-
Minimized acne scarring and pigmentation
-
Brighter, more youthful complexion
Most patients experience slight redness or sensitivity for a few hours, and can resume normal activities the same day.
