Microneedling with PRP
Microneedling with PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) is one of the most advanced and effective treatments for skin rejuvenation and healing. It combines the powerful collagen-boosting benefits of microneedling with the regenerative properties of PRP, which is derived from your own blood.
Here’s why microneedling with PRP is an excellent choice for skin rejuvenation:
1. Collagen Production
Microneedling works by creating controlled micro-injuries to the skin, stimulating your body’s natural healing process, and increasing collagen and elastin production. The addition of PRP amplifies this process, as platelets release growth factors that accelerate tissue regeneration and repair.
2. Skin Texture & Tone
Microneedling with PRP can help improve skin texture, smooth fine lines and wrinkles, and reduce the appearance of scars, including acne scars. The rejuvenating effects result in firmer, healthier skin with a more even tone.
3. Reduces Fine Lines & Wrinkles
The collagen-stimulating benefits of this treatment work wonders for fine lines, crow’s feet, and other signs of aging. The PRP supports faster healing and enhances skin elasticity, helping to turn back the clock on skin appearance.
4. Minimal Downtime
The procedure is minimally invasive and has little to no downtime, especially when compared to more aggressive treatments like laser resurfacing. Most clients experience some redness or slight swelling that typically subsides within 24–48 hours.
5. Natural & Safe
Because PRP is derived from your own blood, there is no risk of allergic reaction or rejection. This makes it a safe and natural option for enhancing the results of microneedling.
6. Ideal for Many Skin Concerns
Whether you're dealing with acne scars, stretch marks, pigmentation issues, or sun damage, microneedling with PRP can address a wide variety of skin concerns and improve overall skin health.
7. Long-Lasting Results
With a few sessions, you can achieve long-lasting improvements in skin tone, texture, and tightness. Many people see results that continue to improve over time as collagen production builds.

Who’s an Ideal Candidate?
This treatment is suitable for all skin types and tones, making it an ideal solution for those looking to enhance their skin without resorting to invasive surgeries. If you're looking to boost skin health, treat scarring, or fight signs of aging, microneedling with PRP could be the perfect choice.
The SkinPen with PRP Treatment Experience:
1. Pre-Treatment Preparation
- Consultation: During your initial consultation, your provider will assess your skin concerns and determine if SkinPen with PRP is the right treatment for you. They will also explain the procedure in detail, answer any questions, and discuss any pre-treatment instructions.
- Blood Draw: A small amount of blood is drawn from your arm to prepare the PRP. This is a quick process, similar to a regular blood test, and the PRP is separated from the rest of your blood using a centrifuge.
2. Numbing the Skin
- A topical numbing cream is applied to your face (or other treated area) about 20–30 minutes before the microneedling process. This ensures you’re comfortable during the treatment, as SkinPen can cause a bit of discomfort due to the microneedles.
3. Microneedling with SkinPen
- Once the skin is numbed, and the area is cleansed, the SkinPen device is gently moved across your skin. The fine needles create tiny punctures in the epidermis (the outer layer of your skin), which triggers the body’s natural healing process and promotes collagen and elastin production.
- The procedure typically takes 30–45 minutes depending on the size of the treatment area.
4. Application of PRP
- The PRP serum is applied before during and after use of the SkinPen. The micro-channels created by the SkinPen allow for deeper penetration of the PRP, enhancing its effects.
- The growth factors in PRP help to accelerate tissue repair and collagen synthesis, so your skin heals faster and smoother.
5. Post-Treatment Care
- Immediately following the treatment, your skin will be a little red and possibly slightly swollen, similar to a mild sunburn. This is completely normal and usually resolves within a few hours to a day.
- You may be advised to avoid direct sun exposure, strenuous exercise, or applying makeup for 24–48 hours after the procedure.
How Does It Feel?
- During the Treatment: Thanks to the numbing cream, the procedure is relatively comfortable. You might feel a slight vibrating sensation or mild discomfort from the SkinPen, but it’s generally well-tolerated.
- Post-Treatment: As mentioned, your skin will be red and may feel slightly tight or sensitive for the first 24 hours. This should improve quickly as your skin heals.
Benefits of SkinPen with PRP:
- Enhanced Skin Texture & Tone: Microneedling encourages your skin to renew itself, while PRP accelerates the healing process and boosts collagen production. This leads to smoother, more radiant skin.
- Reduced Fine Lines & Wrinkles: Both microneedling and PRP stimulate collagen, which firms and tightens the skin, helping to smooth fine lines and wrinkles.
- Improved Skin Appearance: SkinPen with PRP is excellent for treating acne scars, large pores, stretch marks, and sun damage. The treatment improves skin texture and reduces the appearance of scars and discoloration.
- Non-Surgical & Minimal Downtime: Unlike invasive procedures like facelifts, SkinPen with PRP is non-surgical and involves very little downtime, making it ideal for people with busy schedules.
- Long-Lasting Results: With consistent treatments, you can see long-lasting improvements in your skin's health and appearance.
How Many Sessions Are Needed?
For optimal results, most people undergo 3–4 treatments spaced about 4–6 weeks apart. However, even a single session can yield noticeable improvements, and results continue to improve over time as collagen production is stimulated.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
SkinPen with PRP is suitable for all skin types and tones. It’s ideal for anyone looking to:
- Improve skin texture and tone
- Reduce fine lines and wrinkles
- Minimize acne scars or other scars
- Treat sun damage and pigmentation
- Boost overall skin health
Post-Treatment Results
- Most people start to notice improvements in their skin after a few days, as redness subsides. The full results typically become visible after a few weeks as collagen production continues to build.
- Skin will continue to look smoother, more youthful, and plumper as the effects of the treatment develop.
