It's basically a combination of Microneedling + PRP. Microneedling, or collagen induction therapy, is an extremely effective and minimally invasive modality with an ever-growing list of indications, including skin rejuvenation, acne scars, androgenetic alopecia, axillary hyperhidrosis, melasma, periorbital melanosis, and striae distensae, to name a few.
Many of these indications have found favor in combination with platelet-rich plasma (PRP). PRP has been used both in the form of intradermal injections into the acne scars followed by microneedling and as a topical application before or after microneedling. A more popular and minimally invasive method for combination therapy is the simultaneous application of PRP while microneedling is being performed. However, this often requires an assistant or an additional hand to apply PRP while the operating surgeon carries out the microneedling.
