Background:
Platelet-rich plasma is highly enriched plasma that contains a large concentration of platelets that secrete various growth factors and is used in a wide variety of surgical and cosmetic procedures, including hair regrowth and skin rejuvenation.
Methods:
Microneedling therapy is being combined with platelet-rich plasma to potentiate patient's cosmetic effects. While microneedling therapy and platelet-rich plasma therapy have been around for years and are growing in popularity internationally, there are limited data regarding complications when they are used in conjunction.
Results:
We present a case in which a patient presented with acute, painful lymphadenopathy shortly after undergoing the combination treatment of a microneedling pen with platelet-rich plasma therapy.
Conclusion:
Individuals should know of the potential adverse effect of microneedling pen therapy used in conjunction with platelet-rich plasma therapy, and it should be included in patient consent forms and doctor-patient education.
