PRP Microneedling
Restore your glow with collagen-boosting, skin-renewing care.
PRP Microneedling
PRP Microneedling is a transformative treatment that combines the power of collagen induction therapy with the healing benefits of platelet-rich plasma. By creating micro-injuries in the skin, microneedling triggers your body’s natural repair process. When paired with PRP, this response is amplified—resulting in enhanced cell turnover, improved skin tone and texture, and a radiant, youthful complexion.
This minimally invasive procedure is effective for reducing acne scars, fine lines, enlarged pores, and sun damage. It also stimulates collagen and elastin production for firmer, healthier skin over time. Because PRP is derived from your own blood, it integrates seamlessly into your body’s healing process, delivering natural and noticeable results.

While microneedling may sound rather intimidating, the needles are microscopic and has been described to feel like a vibration. Areas that may cause some discomfort are areas with deeper imperfections. A topical numbing cream is applied 30-45 min prior to treatment; which significantly reduces discomfort during the procedure.

Results are typically based on a series of 3+ treatments. It is highly recommended to complete a minimum of 3 treatments for best results, unless a single treatment is being utilized as a touch up after completion of a series within last 6-12 months. Typically patients notice a tightening, glowing effect, and more even skin tone 1-2 weeks after their first session. Collagen and elastin continue to build for up to 4-6 months after treatment.
-
Unfortunately the aging process continues and although we can not stop this- we sure can slow its progression. Results are considered permanent; however, maintenance treatments are recommended 1-2 per year after a package completion to aide in slowing the natural aging process. This in combination with medical grade skin care products will further prolong your results.

Redness is expected after the procedure and may last 24-48 hours. Typically, subsequent treatments heal quicker. You may also feel your skin more dry and taut after the treatment- we will encourage and recommend specific hydrating skin cream post procedure.
