Microneedling and PRP

At Silva M.D. Anti Aging and Wellness, we offer Microneedling and PRP treatments to rejuvenate and refresh your skin. These advanced treatments promote collagen production, tighten skin, improve texture, and minimize signs of aging.

Microneedling

Collagen Induction Therapy

Microneedling, also known as Collagen Induction Therapy, uses tiny, short needles to create superficial punctures in the skin, stimulating collagen and elastin production. This treatment can reduce the signs of aging, such as wrinkles, scars, stretch marks, and hyperpigmentation. Microneedling has also been proven to improve pore size and overall skin texture. With local anesthetic applied beforehand, the procedure is painless and highly effective.

The PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) treatment builds on microneedling by using your body’s own growth factors to enhance skin healing and rejuvenation. A small amount of blood is drawn and processed to extract the growth factors in your platelets. These are then applied to the skin, where the microneedling device creates thousands of micro-perforations, allowing the PRP to deeply penetrate and boost collagen production. This enhances skin tightening, tone, and texture for even better results.

Dr. Silva will inject your shoulders and knees to improve your chronic pain and is a safer option than cortisone injections.

SPECIALS AND PROMO

Therapy for hair loss

Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) is derived from the patient’s own blood serum. The patient’s blood is placed in a centrifuge where each part of the blood is separated. The platelet-rich plasma is isolated and used to inject into the patient’s scalp. This PRP is rich in growth factors and new hair follicle stimulating cells. PRP has long been used for enhanced wound healing and joint restoration, but has now been found to actually stimulate new hair growth.

Non-surgically, several studies have shown increased hair density at 4 months, lasting for approximately 11 months. Usually injections are done 3 times, the second one after 4 weeks and the third injection 8 – 12 weeks from the first injection. Maintenance injections are done once to twice a year. We have pharmaceutical topical solutions and medical-grade supplements that also help to grow and maintain hair. Dr. Melinda Silva also optimizes hormone therapies to grow and, very importantly, maintain hair growth.

PRP FACIAL

Minimize facial lines and wrinkles

The PRP Facial is the latest non-surgical procedure that provides a gradual, balanced approach to a more youthful appearance. Dr. Silva offers customized treatments to help you achieve your desired results.

The benefit of using PRP (from your blood) is that you use your body’s own cells to stimulate new tissue and healthier skin with less risk of allergic reaction. The PRP contains growth factors which are beneficial for healing injuries. PRP helps damaged aging skin to produce new collagen and elastin for a healthier and more youthful skin. Your skin will be rejuvenated with a smoother, clearer, and glowing complexion.
