Microneedling & PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) for Skin Rejuvenation: A Comprehensive Guide

When it comes to effective skin rejuvenation, the key is stimulating your skin’s natural healing process. All successful treatments—whether physical, chemical, or thermal—create a form of controlled injury to the skin. This injury activates your body’s innate repair mechanisms, triggering collagen and elastin production, which results in smoother, firmer, more youthful skin. The depth of the trauma plays a key role in the effectiveness of the treatment—deeper treatments often lead to more dramatic results.

Here’s how different treatments compare:

Microneedling: How It Works

Microneedling uses tiny needles to create micro-channels in the skin, triggering the body’s natural healing response. This process stimulates collagen and elastin production, helping to reduce fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and other skin imperfections. Our microneedling device can be adjusted to different depths depending on your skin’s needs, with deeper treatments often yielding the best results.

To enhance this rejuvenation process, we apply a variety of nourishing ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, vitamins, minerals, and amino acids. These products are absorbed more effectively through the micro-channels, ensuring maximum benefit for your skin.

When combined with PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma), this treatment becomes even more powerful. PRP is derived from your own blood and contains growth factors that accelerate skin healing and regeneration, making it an ideal complement to microneedling. You may have heard about this treatment being referred to as the “Vampire Facial”, famously popularized by Kim Kardashian, who famously had the treatment before walking the red carpet. It’s no wonder many other celebrities love this treatment for its glowing, rejuvenated results—safe, non-invasive, and effective, with minimal downtime.

What is PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma)?

PRP therapy uses your own blood to harness the healing power of platelets and growth factors. By isolating the plasma portion of your blood and applying it directly to your skin, we stimulate the regeneration of collagen, elastin, and new skin cells. This process can visibly reduce signs of aging, including fine lines, wrinkles, and skin texture issues.

Not only does PRP work wonders for facial rejuvenation, but it has also shown promising results on areas like the stomach, arms, thighs, and knees. Since PRP uses your own biological material, it’s a safe, effective, and natural way to enhance your skin’s appearance.

How Does PRP Work with Microneedling?

Microneedling combined with PRP can maximize skin rejuvenation. The treatment steps are as follows:

  1. Blood Draw: A small amount of blood is drawn from your arm, similar to a routine blood test.
  2. Plasma Separation: Using a centrifuge, we separate the platelet-rich plasma from your red blood cells.
  3. Micro-Needling: The PRP is then applied to your skin through the micro-needling device, allowing for deep penetration into the dermis, where collagen production is triggered.

This combination helps accelerate healing, promote youthful skin, and provide lasting results.

What to Expect After Treatment

Microneedling + PRP Treatment Packages

To achieve the most dramatic results, we recommend committing to a series of treatments. Studies suggest that 3 treatments provide optimal results, spaced about 4-6 weeks apart.

Scar & Stretch Mark Treatment: Microneedling and PRP are also excellent options for addressing scars and stretch marks. Pricing varies depending on the treatment area, so please inquire for a personalized consultation.

PRP Benefits Beyond the Face

PRP isn’t just effective for facial rejuvenation—it also shows remarkable benefits for body areas, including the stomach, thighs, arms, and even knees.

Preparing for PRP Treatment

For the best results and a smooth procedure, avoid taking non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen, and blood thinners like aspirin, for at least 72 hours before your treatment. This helps ensure the best platelet function for your PRP therapy.
