PRP Microneedling – Acne Scar and Skin Rejuvenation method

Reviewed by Dr. Hun Kim Thao

Acne scar treatment should start with an understanding of what causes scars which are a natural repairing mechanism of the body after acne inflammation. During the healing process, the body produces more collagen to strengthen skin structure. Whether acne leaves scars or not depends greatly on the skin’s ability to heal. If your skin is not treated properly, an acne scar may be your permanent reminder.

Scars are caused by an abnormal amount of tissue reproduced by the body. If the number of tissues produced is not enough, the consequence will be a pitted scar. Otherwise, the tissues will stack on top of each other and result in a raised scar.

Superior scar healing and skin rejuvenating abilities of PRP

The most common scar treatments in Ho Chi Minh for scars are invasive and non-invasive lasers, dermabrasion, chemical peel, micro-needling with stem cells, and micro-needling with PRP.

This last acne scar treatment is the most highly evaluated for its acne treatment and skin rejuvenating benefits.

This is because it stimulates the body’s natural healing mechanism. PRP micro-needling has become the leading cosmetic solution for acne scar treatment in Ho Chi Minh City because:

• Its ability to boost the growth and reproduction of skin cells
• Its collagen production boosting benefits, thus reducing the risks and improving the appearance of atrophic scars
• Its hydrating and elasticity boosting properties

PRP Treatments also plump up existing wrinkles and indentations. It also restricts the formation of new wrinkles and defends the skin against harmful oxidants.

However, clients seeking help with their scars must exercise caution. Microneedling can cause inflammation if not performed correctly or safely. In worst cases, it can cause additional skin damage if not expertly performed.

The dermatologists at Grace Skincare Clinic strongly advise that you only visit well-known dermatology clinics or hospitals staffed by seasoned dermatologists to guarantee the safety and effectiveness of the procedure.

Additionally, some spas or beauty centers reuse derma rollers, which is very dangerous for the spreading of infection. Dermarollers are only intended to be used once and then discarded. If reused, the needles have become less sharp which causes the skin to tear and the treatment will not yield the best skin results.

To achieve the best results for PRP micro-needling, you should be careful about selecting a qualified clinic. Make sure that the procedure is carried out by an experienced dermatologist, all equipment is sterilized, the clinic is hygienic and they never reuse derma rollers or needles. The result also is very much impacted by the quality of PRP after centrifugation.

The PRP microneedling method

PRP microneedling is a special method that creates micro-wounds on the skin. After the micro-needling process, the dermatologist will use a gel-like platelet-rich plasma solution to stimulate the collagen production process and fill up acne scars.

Microneedling with PRP is a medical procedure that must be performed by a skilled technician, with strong knowledge of the skin and, preferably, with experience in treating acne and acne scar tissues.

Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy (CIT), has been used in cosmetic medical therapy since 1997 for pitted scarring and wrinkles.

Following a micro-needling treatment, your skin will experience 03 stages:

• Right after micro-needling: Platelets and white cells generate growth factors that help with the production of fibroblast.
• About 5 days after a treatment: mono cells create growth factors that stimulate collagen, elastin, and glycosaminoglycans production.
• Two months after treatment: new collagen forms.

Platelets, known for their importance in clotting blood, contain hundreds of proteins called growth factors which are very important in the natural process of healing injuries. PRP is plasma with many more platelets than is typically found in the blood. The concentration of platelets and growth factors can be 5 to 10 times richer than usual.

To utilize a PRP procedure, blood must first be drawn from clients. The platelets are separated from other blood cells and their concentration is increased during a process called centrifugation. PRP then is applied to the clients’ skin.

Most PRP kits used by other clinics receive PRP in the form of inactivated. It means the platelets are yet to activate to release growth factors. So, chances of inflammation due to micro-needling still exist. At Grace Skincare Clinic, the PRP kits are activated to ensure the growth factors are released thus bring the highest treatment results, and avoid inflammation, allergies, shock, or infection.
