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.
what is prp therapy?
The PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy treatments build 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. PRP therapy can be used through a variety of areas including, but not limited to use on the scalp for hair loss, and facials to help visibly reduce pores, acne, dark spots, and some scarring.

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-surgical treatments have been shown to boost hair density within 4 months, with results lasting up to 11 months. Typically, three injections are needed— the second after 4 weeks and the third 8-12 weeks later. Maintenance is required once or twice a year. We also offer pharmaceutical-grade topical solutions and supplements to support hair growth. Dr. Melinda Silva tailors hormone therapies to not only promote hair growth but ensure long-term maintenance.
PRP FACIAL
Visibly reduce pores, acne, and dark spots
The PRP Facial is a cutting-edge, non-surgical treatment performed by a Registered Nurse or Medical Doctor that delivers a gradual, natural path to a more youthful appearance. Silva MD offers personalized treatments to help you achieve your ideal 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.

What can I expect during a microneedling treatment?
Microneedling is a fantastic option for improving skin texture, reducing fine lines, and rejuvenating your skin. It’s a minimally invasive procedure that uses tiny needles to stimulate collagen production, which helps your skin look smoother and more youthful. The treatment is relatively quick, with minimal downtime, so you can get back to your routine fairly soon after. Results develop gradually as collagen builds, giving you natural, lasting improvements. We’ll walk you through the entire process beforehand, ensuring you feel comfortable and prepared, and we’ll guide you through what to expect during recovery.
