Facial Microneedling with PRP

What is Microneedling with PRP for the Face? 

Microneedling with PRP enhances traditional microneedling by infusing the skin with platelet-rich plasma extracted from your own blood. The microneedling device creates tiny micro-channels in the skin, triggering collagen production and improving the skin’s texture. Once the microneedling process is complete, the PRP is applied to the treated areas, penetrating deeply through the micro-channels to encourage cell renewal. This treatment reduces fine lines, wrinkles, and acne scars while improving skin tone, minimizing pores, and restoring elasticity.

Who is a Candidate for Microneedling with PRP? 

Microneedling with PRP is an excellent option for those looking to address fine lines, wrinkles, sun damage, uneven skin tone, or scarring. Patients with active infections, skin conditions, or blood disorders may not be ideal candidates for PRP therapy. The best way to determine your candidacy for microneedling with PRP is by scheduling a private consultation at our office. 

Microneedling with PRP Treatment 

The procedure begins with your specialist drawing your blood, which is processed to isolate the platelet-rich plasma. A topical numbing cream is applied to ensure your comfort, and the microneedling device is used to create micro-injuries in the skin. These tiny channels stimulate collagen production and allow the PRP to penetrate deeply into the skin.  Once microneedling is complete, the PRP is applied to the treated areas. It penetrates through the micro-channels to boost healing, stimulate new cell growth, and enhance the skin’s overall appearance.

Recovery from Microneedling with PRP 

After treatment, it is common to experience mild redness, and light peeling as the skin renews itself. During recovery, it is important to keep the skin moisturized, avoid sun exposure, and use a broad-spectrum sunscreen to protect the newly treated areas.  We recommend avoiding makeup and harsh skincare products for the first 24 hours to allow the skin to heal properly.

How Long Will Results Last After Microneedling with PRP?

Improvements in skin tone, texture, and overall appearance are often noticeable within a week, with continued enhancements over the following months as collagen production increases. The results of microneedling with PRP are long-lasting, especially when combined with a skincare regimen.
