PRP Microneedling


Elevate your microneedling results with your body’s own healing power. PRP microneedling takes everything you love about traditional microneedling and adds a powerful, natural boost—platelet-rich plasma (PRP). This upgraded option uses your own plasma to support deeper skin regeneration, making it ideal for those wanting to level up their results.

What is PRP Microneedling?

Microneedling on its own is highly effective for improving skin tone, texture, and firmness. When combined with PRP for skin treatment, the benefits go even further. PRP is derived from your own blood and is rich in growth factors that help stimulate collagen, tissue regeneration to support healing, and reduce inflammation.

Once your skin is numbed and prepared, your PRP is applied directly into the microchannels created by the SkinPen, allowing for faster healing time and enhanced results. This plasma facial treatment is especially effective for those looking to improve the appearance of:

  • Acne scars or surgical scars

  • Fine lines and crepey texture

  • Uneven tone and sun damage

  • Dull, dry, or tired-looking skin

What to Expect During A Microneedling Treatment

During your appointment, we’ll review your goals, draw a small amount of blood to prepare your PRP, and begin once your skin is fully numb. The full treatment takes about an hour and 15 minutes. Most patients experience mild redness for 1–3 days post-treatment, similar to a light sunburn but closer to 1 day if PRP is used! You’ll be sent home with personalized aftercare instructions & products to support your recovery and results.

If you’re interested in PRP microneedling, this plasma facial treatment could be the natural upgrade your skin’s been waiting for.
