Dull texture, acne scars, and uneven skin tone respond to one treatment that uses your body's own healing biology.
Microneedling with PRP (platelet-rich plasma) is a non-surgical skin rejuvenation procedure that combines controlled micro-injuries from fine needles with topically applied growth factors derived from the patient's own blood. The microneedling device creates thousands of microscopic channels in the skin, while PRP accelerates tissue repair and collagen synthesis within those channels.
Dr. Fakhre draws a small blood sample and processes it in a centrifuge to isolate the platelet rich plasma fraction. This concentrated PRP contains growth factors including PDGF, TGF-beta, and VEGF that signal fibroblasts to produce new collagen and elastin.
The microneedling device then creates precise micro-channels at calibrated depths. My Aesthetic Doctor applies the PRP directly onto the treated skin, allowing growth factors to penetrate into the dermal layer where they amplify the body's healing response.
My Aesthetic Doctor uses Microneedling with PRP to improve:
Dr. Fakhre adjusts needle depth based on the treatment area and concern. Facial treatments typically use depths of 0.25-2.5mm, while scar revision may require deeper settings. Each session at our Larchmont office takes approximately 60-90 minutes including blood draw, centrifugation, and treatment time.
Boxcar, rolling, and ice-pick acne scars respond well to repeated microneedling sessions. Dr. Fakhre uses deeper needle settings over scarred zones to break up fibrous tethers and trigger collagen remodeling beneath the scar bed. The PRP layered into those channels accelerates the dermal rebuild, softening scar depth across a series of treatments.
Fine lines around the eyes and mouth, along with stretch marks on the abdomen, hips, and thighs, share the same underlying problem: thin, weakened dermis. My Aesthetic Doctor calibrates needle depth to the area and combines the micro-channels with PRP to restore dermal thickness, gradually fading the visible appearance of these creases and striae.
The combination of microneedling and PRP creates a synergistic collagen response. Micro-injuries activate the wound healing cascade, while platelet-derived growth factors amplify fibroblast activity. My Aesthetic Doctor patients see progressive skin texture improvement over 4-6 weeks as new collagen matures.
PRP comes from your own blood, eliminating allergy risk and foreign substance concerns. Dr. Fakhre values this autologous approach because it aligns with My Aesthetic Doctor's commitment to natural, refined results. Your body does the rebuilding, the treatment simply accelerates the process.
A single Microneedling with PRP session addresses fine lines, acne scarring, hyperpigmentation, pore size, and overall skin quality simultaneously. This multi-target approach makes it one of the most efficient skin rejuvenation treatments available at our Larchmont practice.
Beyond scar revision and wrinkle softening, patients at My Aesthetic Doctor consistently report smoother surface texture, more even tone, and visibly tighter pores. The combination of micro-channel renewal and growth-factor delivery refines the skin's day-to-day quality, the kind of result that makes makeup sit better and bare skin feel like a finished surface.
Dr. Fakhre examines your skin under clinical lighting, evaluates your concerns, and determines the optimal treatment plan. My Aesthetic Doctor considers your skin type, scar depth, and goals to customize needle depth and PRP application strategy.
A small blood sample, typically 10-20ml, is drawn from your arm. The sample is placed in a centrifuge for approximately 10 minutes to separate platelet-rich plasma from red blood cells. This produces a concentrated growth factor solution ready for application.
Topical numbing cream is applied 30-40 minutes before the procedure. Dr. Fakhre then uses the microneedling device at calibrated depths across the treatment area. The PRP is applied simultaneously, allowing growth factors to penetrate through the micro-channels.
My Aesthetic Doctor applies a soothing post-treatment serum and provides detailed aftercare instructions. Mild redness resembling a sunburn is normal for 24-48 hours. Most patients return to regular activities within one to two days. Dr. Fakhre schedules follow up to assess your results.
Expect redness and mild swelling similar to a sunburn. Skin may feel warm and tight for the first 24 hours. My Aesthetic Doctor advises avoiding direct sun exposure and active skincare ingredients for 48-72 hours after treatment.
Initial improvement in skin radiance appears within the first week. Collagen remodeling continues for 4-6 weeks, with optimal results visible around the 6-8 week mark. Dr. Fakhre recommends a series of 3-4 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart for comprehensive skin renewal.
After completing the initial treatment series, My Aesthetic Doctor recommends maintenance sessions every 6-12 months. This schedule sustains collagen production and continues improving skin texture over time.
Dr. Fakhre typically recommends 3-4 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart for optimal results. The exact number depends on your skin concerns and treatment goals. My Aesthetic Doctor creates a personalized plan during your consultation.
Topical numbing cream is applied 30-40 minutes before treatment. Most patients at My Aesthetic Doctor describe the sensation as mild prickling. The PRP application itself is painless.
Redness and mild swelling typically last 24-48 hours. Most patients return to normal activities within one to two days. My Aesthetic Doctor recommends avoiding makeup and active skincare products for 48-72 hours.
PRP applied to the scalp can stimulate hair follicle activity and promote hair growth. Dr. Fakhre offers PRP scalp treatments as part of My Aesthetic Doctor's Hair Restoration program.
Pricing varies based on the treatment area and number of sessions recommended. My Aesthetic Doctor provides detailed pricing during your consultation after Dr. Fakhre evaluates your needs.
