About Microneedling with PRF
What It Is
Unlock the potential of your skin’s natural healing abilities with Microneedling with PRF. This revolutionary procedure combines microneedling with platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) to enhance collagen production, promote blood flow, and increase dermal thickness. Experience the transformative benefits of natural skin rejuvenation, including improved skin tone, reduced wrinkles, and a smoother texture.
How It Works
Microneedling with PRF is an innovative treatment that uses a handheld device covered in very small, sterile needles to pierce the skin to a shallow depth. This triggers your body's regenerative processes, resulting in newly created collagen and elastin. Collagen provides much of your skin's structure, while elastin gives your skin its elasticity.
PRF (platelet-rich fibrin) is derived from your own blood and is rich in growth factors. It is applied to the skin during microneedling, enhancing the body's natural healing process. PRF stimulates collagen production and tissue regeneration, making this treatment highly effective for rejuvenating the skin.
What to Expect
On the day of treatment, please arrive with no face makeup as a topical numbing agent will be applied prior to treatment. Your practitioner will draw a small amount of blood to extract the PRF. Once you are prepped, the practitioner will apply PRF onto your skin and use the microneedling device over the face or scalp. The device creates thousands of microscopic punctures in the skin, triggering the body's restorative processes.
Post-Treatment Expectations
Following the procedure, you may experience mild redness, swelling, or tenderness at the treatment site, similar to a mild sunburn. These effects typically subside within a few days. Over the next few weeks, you'll notice improvements in skin texture, tone, and overall appearance as collagen production increases and new tissue forms.

Frequently Asked Questions About Microneedling with PRF
-
Pain tolerance varies, but most patients report only mild discomfort during the PRF Microneedling treatment. A numbing cream is applied to the treatment area to minimize discomfort. While you may feel a slight sensation during the injection, it is typically well-tolerated. After the procedure, some patients may experience temporary redness, swelling, or bruising, which usually resolves quickly.
-
The downtime after PRF Microneedling treatment is minimal. Most patients experience mild redness, swelling, or tenderness at the injection sites, which generally subside within a few days. You can resume normal activities immediately after the procedure, but it is advisable to avoid strenuous exercise and sun exposure for at least 24 to 48 hours.
-
Results from PRF Microneedling can vary depending on factors such as skin type, lifestyle, and the extent of initial treatment. Patients typically see improvements in skin texture, tone, and firmness for several months after the procedure. Collagen production peaks around 2-4 weeks post-therapy and continues for up to 6 months. Periodic maintenance treatments may be recommended to sustain and enhance the benefits.
-
Common side effects include temporary redness, swelling, and mild tenderness at the injection sites. These effects are usually mild and resolve on their own within a few days. Less common side effects may include infection or an allergic reaction. It is important to discuss any concerns or medical conditions with your practitioner before undergoing the treatment.
-
You will experience skin tightness and mild redness similar to a sunburn for 1-2 days. The PRF enhances your body’s natural regenerative proteins and growth factors, so expect improvement within the next 3 days. Full healing may take up to 24 hours post-therapy, especially with proper post-treatment skin care.
-
We recommend a series of 3 treatments for facial rejuvenation spaced 1 month apart. For acne scars, we recommend 5 treatments. Maintenance is typically done every 6-12 months.
-
Most patients see signs of improvement after 1 week. Collagen takes 4-6 weeks to form, so many patients notice more dramatic results at that point.
