Microneedling alone is a powerful collagen induction therapy. Add your own platelet-rich plasma, and the regenerative cascade is dramatically amplified.
The Mechanism
Microneedling creates controlled micro-injuries in the dermis. Your body responds by flooding the area with growth factors and collagen-producing fibroblasts. PRP — drawn from your own blood and centrifuged to a platelet concentration 3-5x your baseline — introduces an enormous concentration of growth factors directly at those injury sites.
The micro-channels created by the needles allow the PRP to penetrate to the dermis rather than sitting on the surface. The result is a collagen response that can be 40-60% more robust than microneedling alone.
What It Treats
- Acne scarring (including ice pick and rolling scars) - Enlarged pores - Fine lines and skin laxity - Uneven skin texture - Stretch marks - Hair loss (scalp microneedling + PRP)
The Treatment Experience
We apply numbing cream 30-45 minutes before the procedure. The blood draw is one vial — standard blood draw. The centrifuge process takes about 10 minutes. The actual microneedling + PRP application runs 45-60 minutes depending on treatment area.
Immediately after, your skin will be red — similar to a moderate sunburn. This subsides within 24-48 hours for most clients.
Results Timeline
Collagen remodeling is a slow process. You'll notice texture improvement in 2-4 weeks. Full results at 3 months. Most clients do 3-4 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart for optimal outcomes.
