Enhance Your Microneedling Treatment with PRP/PRF
WHAT IT IS + WHY WE LOVE IT:
Take your microneedling results to the next level by adding PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) or PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) to your treatment. PRP and PRF are derived from your own blood and are rich in growth factors and healing proteins that accelerate tissue repair and regeneration. When combined with microneedling, these powerful substances help to boost collagen production and speed up the healing process, delivering even more dramatic improvements to skin texture and tone.
Why Add PRP/PRF to Microneedling?
Faster healing and recovery
Enhanced collagen and elastin production
Improved skin elasticity and hydration
Reduction of fine lines, wrinkles, and scars
A natural, more youthful glow

FAQS
Microneedling with SkinPen®
-
Microneedling uses fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. This process stimulates your skin’s natural repair mechanisms, boosting collagen and elastin production. The result is smoother, firmer skin with reduced fine lines, wrinkles, and acne scars.
-
We apply a topical numbing cream before the procedure to ensure you remain comfortable. After the treatment, your skin may feel sensitive, similar to a mild sunburn.
-
Recovery is typically minimal. You may experience redness and slight swelling for 1-3 days post-treatment. Some patients may experience light peeling or flakiness, but makeup can usually be worn after 48 hours.
-
For optimal results, we recommend a series of 3-4 treatments spaced about 4-6 weeks apart. After completing your series, maintenance treatments every 6-12 months are ideal for continued benefits.
-
Yes! Microneedling is highly effective for treating acne scars by stimulating collagen production in the deeper layers of the skin, which helps to improve texture and smooth out scarred areas.
FAQS
PRF Injections
-
PRP/PRF injections stimulate collagen production, improve skin texture, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, and promote a natural, youthful appearance. PRF is especially effective in delicate areas like under the eyes, cheeks, and jawline.
-
PRP/PRF is collected through a quick blood draw, similar to a routine lab test. The blood is then processed in a centrifuge to separate the fibrin, platelets, and growth factors, which are used for injection.
-
Yes, PRP/PRF is completely natural and safe because it comes from your own blood, minimizing any risk of allergic reactions or adverse effects. PRF uses your body’s natural healing factors to rejuvenate the skin.
-
Results from PRP/PRF injections develop gradually as collagen production is stimulated. Most patients notice improvements in 3-4 weeks, and results can last 6-12 months. For best results, a series of treatments may be recommended.
-
Downtime is minimal with PRP/PRF injections. You may experience mild swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection sites for a few days, but most patients can return to normal activities immediately.
-
Yes! Both PRP and PRF can be combined with treatments like microneedling to enhance skin rejuvenation, improve texture, and accelerate healing. This combination is particularly effective for achieving smoother, firmer skin.
Before + After Your Microneedling and PRP/PRF Appointment
BEFORE TREATMENT:
Things to Do:
Hydrate: Drink plenty of water in the days leading up to your appointment to help keep your skin hydrated and improve your overall treatment results.
Avoid Sun Exposure: Stay out of direct sunlight and avoid tanning beds for at least 24 hours before your treatment. Sunburned skin cannot be treated with microneedling.
Discontinue Retinoids and Exfoliants: Stop using any retinoids, AHAs, BHAs, or other exfoliating products at least 3-5 days before your appointment, as they can make your skin more sensitive.
Consult About Medications: If you're taking blood thinners, aspirin, or anti-inflammatory medications (like ibuprofen), consult with your provider. These can increase bruising. It may be recommended to stop them a few days before the procedure (with your healthcare provider’s approval).
Things to Avoid:
Avoid Alcohol: Refrain from drinking alcohol for at least 24-48 hours before your treatment, as alcohol can increase the likelihood of bruising.
No Makeup or Skincare Products: On the day of your appointment, arrive with a clean face. Avoid wearing makeup, moisturizers, or other products to ensure a sterile treatment area.
Avoid NSAIDs: Avoid taking NSAIDs (such as ibuprofen or naproxen) a few days before your appointment to reduce the risk of bruising and inflammation. Acetaminophen (Tylenol) is usually fine if pain relief is needed.
AFTER TREATMENT:
Things to Do:
Keep Skin Hydrated: After treatment, apply a gentle, hydrating moisturizer to promote healing. Use a hyaluronic acid serum if recommended by your provider.
Use Sunscreen: Protect your skin by applying a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher daily. Your skin will be more sensitive to the sun, so it's important to avoid sun exposure for at least 1-2 weeks after the procedure.
Stay Hydrated: Continue drinking plenty of water after your treatment to support your skin’s healing process.
Avoid Sweating: Try to avoid activities that cause heavy sweating (like intense exercise) for 24-48 hours after your treatment, as sweat can irritate your skin.
Avoid Makeup: It's recommended to avoid wearing makeup for 24 hours post-treatment to reduce the risk of irritation or infection. After this period, use only gentle, non-comedogenic products.
Use Gentle Skincare: Stick to a simple skincare routine with mild, non-irritating products for the first few days after treatment. Avoid any harsh cleansers, toners, or exfoliants.
Use a Clean Pillowcase.
Things to Avoid:
Avoid Touching, Picking or Scratching: Your skin may feel dry or slightly flaky as it heals. Refrain from picking or scratching at your skin to prevent infection or scarring.
No Exfoliation: Avoid using any exfoliating products, including retinoids, AHAs, or scrubs, for at least 7 days after treatment. These can irritate your skin as it heals.
Avoid Hot Showers or Saunas: Hot water, steam, and saunas can increase inflammation and irritation. Stick to lukewarm water for showers and avoid heat-based treatments for at least 48 hours post-procedure.
Avoid Alcohol and Smoking: Both can slow the healing process and increase the risk of bruising. Try to avoid alcohol and smoking for at least 48 hours post-treatment.
No Direct Sun Exposure: Even after applying sunscreen, avoid prolonged sun exposure or tanning for 1-2 weeks to prevent pigmentation changes or skin damage while your skin is healing.
Following these pre- and post-treatment guidelines will help ensure optimal results and minimize the risk of complications after your microneedling and PRP/PRF treatments.
