How Microneedling with PRP Works
During the treatment, thousands of microscopic punctures are made in your skin using an advanced microneedling device. The controlled injuries caused by the procedure stimulate your body's wound healing process.
Growth Factor Release
The cytokines and growth factors released during the wound healing process increase the production of collagen and elastin fibers. As a result, your skin becomes younger, softer, smoother, and healthier.
Depth-Controlled Microscopic Punctures
At our practice, we use SkinPen, which is a first-of-its-kind device approved by the FDA, for our microneedling treatments. The device is capable of producing up to 1600 microscopic punctures per second. Due to its variable needle depth, the device can be safely used even on the delicate areas around the eyes and the mouth.
Customized Sessions
Depending on your age, skin type, and skin condition, you might have to undergo several microneedling sessions to achieve the desired results.
Our Approach
Our medical professionals follow the treatment protocol outlined below, developed by our medical director, facial plastic surgeon Dr. V. This ensures that every SkinPen microneedling with PRP treatment is performed with precision, safety, and personalized attention to your skin’s needs.
Preparation
During the procedure, a small quantity of your blood is drawn. The platelets and plasma are separated from the red and white blood cells through a process called centrifugation.
Growth Factor Stimulation
The platelet-rich plasma concentrate is applied on your skin before the SkinPen microneedling treatment. The microscopic punctures created during the procedure allow your skin to absorb the platelet concentrate completely. The growth factors present in the PRP concentrate stimulate your skin cells to synthesize collagen and elastin fibers, which are responsible for keeping your skin young and healthy.
Quick and Convenient
The procedure is minimally invasive and takes about 30 to 45 minutes. A numbing cream is applied on your skin to make sure you do not feel any pain or discomfort during the procedure.
After the Procedure
Healing and Results
ADDITIONAL VISITS
You might need multiple SkinPen sessions – typically spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart – in order to achieve your aesthetic goals.
SOCIAL READINESS
After SkinPen microneedling with PRP, you may notice redness, swelling, and mild sensitivity, similar to a sunburn. These effects typically fade within 2–3 days, with light peeling possible as your skin heals. Makeup should be avoided for the first 24 hours.
