Fine lines, dullness, and mild sagging often become more noticeable as the skin produces less collagen and elastin. Although synthetic fillers can provide immediate volume, they are not the only way to address visible signs of aging. At MyHealth1st, we offer regenerative treatments designed to help the skin rebuild and renew itself using Platelet-Rich Fibrin, or PRF, derived from your own blood.
• Microneedling creates controlled micro-channels that activate the skin’s natural repair response.
• PRF provides platelets, fibrin, and growth factors that support collagen production and tissue renewal.
• Combining microneedling with targeted PRF injections addresses the skin at the surface and from within.
Collagen gives the skin much of its structure and firmness, while elastin allows it to stretch and return to its original shape. The body naturally produces both, but production gradually declines with age. Sun exposure, stress, smoking, and other lifestyle factors can also contribute to visible changes in skin quality.
The loss of collagen and elastin can lead to decreased skin thickness, reduced elasticity, and increased fine line formation. Instead of just covering up these changes with regenerative aesthetics, it stimulates the body’s natural ability for self-renewal of the skin.
A clinical study published through the National Library of Medicine found that multiple microneedling treatments increased collagen production and improved signs of facial aging. Because the skin continues remodeling after treatment, results generally develop gradually rather than appearing all at once.
Our PRF microneedling treatment adds concentrated PRF to the process, allowing growth factors from your own blood to reach the micro-channels created during the procedure.
PRF is prepared from a small sample of your blood using a centrifuge. Unlike synthetic filler materials, PRF uses your own platelets, fibrin, and growth factors to support tissue repair.
Targeted PRF facial injections can be placed in areas where fine lines, under-eye changes, or reduced skin quality are more noticeable. A systematic review of injectable PRF treatments reported promising improvements in facial wrinkles, skin texture, and elasticity, although researchers noted that larger and more standardized studies are still needed.
Our Collagen Boost Protocol combines microneedling with PRF and targeted PRF injections in one regenerative treatment plan. Microneedling rejuvenates the skin’s surface, while the injections deliver PRF beneath the skin in areas needing additional support.
Before treatment, we complete a complimentary consultation to review your medical history, concerns, and goals. This helps us determine whether the protocol or another regenerative option is the right fit.
Improving collagen and elastin takes time because the skin must complete its natural repair and remodeling process. The changes are gradual, but the goal is healthier, firmer, and more radiant skin that still looks like you.
