Microneedling with PRP: Supercharge Your Skin’s Healing Power

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is a highly effective therapy that has been used for over two decades in the treatment of musculoskeletal pain and cell regeneration. Studies have shown that PRP facials effectively promote tissue remodeling in aging skin, making it a highly sought-after procedure. This aesthetic procedure combined with microneedling, stimulates cell multiplication and increases collagen and elastin production, providing results far beyond traditional microneedling alone when followed by the application of your own platelet-rich plasma.

Our Microneedling with PRP Facial uses your body’s regenerative properties to provide unprecedented levels of skin rejuvenation, including the reduction of fine lines, wrinkles, and acne scars. The procedure is ideal for men and women of all ages and skin types.

What Is Microneedling with PRP?

Microneedling with PRP is a skin rejuvenation treatment that involves creating micro-injuries on the skin’s surface with tiny needles. These micro-injuries trigger the body’s natural healing response. PRP, derived from your own blood, is then applied to the skin to enhance the healing process. The PRP is rich in growth factors that stimulate collagen production, which helps reduce fine lines, wrinkles, and scars. This treatment is perfect for those looking for a non-surgical way to improve skin texture and tone. The combination of microneedling and PRP delivers results faster than microneedling alone.

How Does Microneedling with PRP Work?

First, one of our licensed aestheticians draws a small amount of your blood, just like at the doctor’s office. It is then placed in a centrifuge, which isolates the platelet-rich plasma (PRP). Once the topical numbing agent placed on your skin takes effect, the microneedling process can begin. A microneedling device is used to create tiny punctures in your skin, which triggers collagen and elastin production. After microneedling, the PRP is applied to the skin, where it penetrates the deeper layers through the microchannels. The growth factors in PRP accelerate the skin’s natural healing, promoting regeneration. Over time, your skin becomes smoother, firmer, and more radiant. The vast majority of patients report nothing more than a mild tickling or pinching sensation, and in approximately 30 minutes, the process is complete!
