RF microneedling with PRP is a procedure that combines the physical and biological stimulation of collagen production. Microneedling uses tiny needle pricks to instigate a collagen response. PRP then boosts this response with its presence in the area. This makes it one of the most effective professional skin treatments out there. Let’s look at the question, “What are the side effects of RF microneedling with PRP?
Microneedling with PRP—whether with or without radiofrequency—can come with some minor side effects. Immediately following the procedure, the skin may appear red and feel tight or extra sensitive. This is normal and your master esthetician will apply products to help soothe and protect the skin.
In the coming days, a small amount of soreness and swelling may occur. However, bruising and major swelling are rare. Peeling is uncommon, but not often a cause for concern. Side effects of RF microneedling with PRP should subside in a week or less. Full results of the procedure are expected in about two weeks.
