At AcneClinicNYC, we love this treatment for its natural approach, using your body's own materials for regeneration and restoration. We enjoy seeing the impressive results it gives our clients and value its effectiveness when more aggressive treatments are not desired or possible.
Scars are the result of the body's wound healing process and can lead to uneven skin texture and appearance. PRP Microneedling utilizes the body’s own healing mechanisms by applying PRP to the treated area, enhancing the skin's ability to regenerate and diminish scar tissue.
The process involves creating micro-injuries in the scarred tissue with microneedles, which initiates the body’s wound healing response. The application of PRP, which is rich in growth factors, augments this process, encouraging the remodeling of scar tissue and the formation of new collagen and elastin fibers.

Most patients can return to work the next day, depending on the nature of their job and the area treated.
It's generally recommended to avoid alcohol and caffeine for 24 hours before and after the treatment to ensure optimal platelet function and hydration.
It's best to avoid strenuous activities for 24-48 hours after the procedure to allow the treatment area to heal properly.
Initial improvement might be noticed within a few weeks, but optimal results typically occur over a period of 2-3 months as the body continues to heal and regenerate tissue.
I tried every product made for acne with no results. Once on their treatments and products my acne cleared up. I learned so much about my acne and my skin. Their home regimen are entirely personalized!
I have had the most amazing experience since I started the Acne Treatment Program with Veronika 2 months ago! My face is almost flawless but beyond that I have developed a great friendship with her.
I have been battling acne for the last 18 years. I have tried every single antibiotic, medication, crème, soap, topical, etc. you name it. I did see some results that I was actually pleased with while on Accutane/Isotretinoin.
After successfully treating my acne with AcneClinicNYC, I was planning to address my hair issues at another clinic. However, my esthetician offered their PRP hair treatment (done on the scalp), and it turned out to be half the price of the place I was considering. I love my results. Thank you for transforming both my skin and hair!
