Collagen Induction Therapy and PRP: How they can be Used Together for Maximum Results

Combining collagen induction therapy and PRP culminates in better outcomes than using each separately. Factors such as your lifestyle, age, and occupation are essential in determining if the combination is a good fit for you. More importantly, consult a qualified professional to determine if you are a good candidate for the treatment. 

Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT) and How it Works

Collagen induction therapy is an aesthetic method that is safe and non-surgical. It works by stimulating your body to produce collagen and elastin, as these are the building blocks of healthy skin. The treatment creates well-ordered micro-injuries on your skin’s surface and triggers your body’s healing process. This way, your body produces new elastin and collagen to repair the damage. 

PRP and How it Works

Another safe and non-surgical aesthetic procedure is PRP or platelet-rich plasma. It encourages skin renewal and repair using the growth factors found in your blood. It isolates the platelets from the other blood components. Your physician will then introduce it to the treatment area.

PRP encourages the formation of new cells, blood flow, and collagen in the treated area. This enhances the overall health and appearance of your skin. Additionally, it can help with skin problems like acne scars, fine wrinkles, and uneven pigmentation. It is possible to enhance the results by combining PRP and CIT.

The Benefits of Combining PRP and Collagen Induction Therapy

There are many advantages to combining CIT and PRP for skin regeneration. The following are some advantages of employing this combination:
 

• It makes treatment more effective. The combination is more thorough than any method used separately.

• PRP encourages cell development and collagen synthesis, while CIT increases elastin and collagen synthesis in the skin. As a result, your skin will look healthy and young.

• PRP lessens inflammation while accelerating recovery. It might result in quicker healing and better outcomes.

• Since both procedures are non-surgical, the risks and recovery time are modest.

• Wrinkles, fine lines, and acne scars diminish greatly when PRP and CIT combine. Your skin's texture, color, and tone also improve.

Microneedling and Laser Resurfacing

Microneedling and laser resurfacing are collagen induction therapies that can be effectively paired with PRP to improve your skin.

Laser Resurfacing

Laser resurfacing utilizes laser energy to eliminate the outer layers of damaged skin. The procedure helps reduce the appearance of acne scars, wrinkles, and fine lines. There are various types of laser resurfacing. 

Ablative laser resurfacing gets rid of the outmost layers of skin. On the other hand, non-ablative laser resurfacing stimulates collagen production by heating the deeper layers of your skin. Both procedures can be used together with PRP to improve results.

Microneedling

In microneedling, professionals use a device with micro-needle tips. The device causes micro-injuries on the skin's surface. Doing so boosts the body's natural healing process, promoting the creation of elastin and collagen. The therapy effectively treats acne scars and hyperpigmentation. It complements PRP nicely to maximize benefits.
