About Microneedling With PRP

Microneedling with PRP is an advanced cosmetic procedure that enhances the traditional microneedling process by incorporating platelet-rich plasma, derived from your own blood. PRP is rich in growth factors that accelerate healing, stimulate collagen production, and enhance overall skin renewal.

How Does Microneedling w/PRP Work?

Microneedling uses a device equipped with fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin, stimulating collagen production and enhancing skin renewal. During and after the microneedling process, platelet-rich plasma (PRP), extracted from your own blood, is applied to the skin.

Benefits Of Microneedling with PRP

Microneedling with PRP offers unparalleled benefits, making it a preferred choice for advanced skin rejuvenation:

  • PRP is derived from your own blood, ensuring a safe and biocompatible treatment
  • Stimulates collagen and elastin for firmer, more youthful skin
  • Reduces pigmentation, roughness, and unevenness for a smoother complexion
  • PRP boosts the skin’s natural healing process, reducing downtime and enhancing recovery
  • Tailored to address your specific skin concerns and goals
  • Effectively addresses acne scars, fine lines, and other imperfections

What To Expect With Microneedling w/PRP Treatments

Pre-Treatment Consultation

Your microneedling with PRP treatment begins with a detailed consultation with one of our licensed nurse practitioners.

During this session, your provider will assess your skin, discuss your specific concerns, and identify areas that would benefit most from the treatment.

Your medical history and any current skincare routines will also be reviewed to ensure this procedure is safe and effective for you.

Blood Draw & Preparation

On the day of your appointment, the process begins with a simple blood draw, similar to a routine blood test. A small amount of blood is collected and placed into a centrifuge, which spins the blood at high speed to separate the platelet-rich plasma (PRP) from other components.

While the PRP is being prepared, your provider will clean and prep your skin for the treatment. A topical numbing cream will then be applied to the skin and left on for 20–30 minutes.

Microneedling & PRP Application

Once your skin is numbed and the PRP is ready, the microneedling process begins. Using a specialized device with fine needles, your provider will create controlled micro-injuries in the skin’s surface. These tiny channels stimulate the body’s natural healing process and prepare the skin to absorb the PRP effectively.

The PRP is applied during the microneedling process and immediately after, penetrating deep into the skin through the microchannels. This step enhances collagen production and accelerates tissue repair.

After Microneedling Care & Recovery

After the procedure, your skin may appear slightly red and feel warm, similar to a mild sunburn. This is a normal response and typically subsides within 24–48 hours. PRP accelerates the healing process, so downtime is minimal.

You’ll be given detailed aftercare instructions, including avoiding direct sunlight, makeup, and harsh skincare products for the first 24–48 hours.

FAQs

Does Microneedling With PRP Really Work?

Yes, microneedling with PRP is highly effective for improving skin texture, tone, and overall quality. By combining the collagen-boosting benefits of microneedling with the regenerative properties of platelet-rich plasma, this treatment enhances the skin’s natural healing process. Many patients report noticeable improvements in fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and uneven skin tone within weeks of the procedure, with continued results as collagen production increases over time.

How Long Does Microneedling With PRP Last?

Results from microneedling with PRP can last 12–18 months, especially when combined with a good skincare routine and maintenance treatments.

Is Microneedling With PRP Safe?

Yes, microneedling with PRP is safe when performed by trained professionals. Because PRP is derived from your own blood, there is no risk of allergic reactions or rejection.
