Microneedling with PRP/PRF
Looking for a way to rejuvenate your skin, smooth away imperfections, and restore a youthful glow? Microneedling with PRP/PRF is your answer!
Popularized as the “vampire facial,” this innovative treatment combines the power of microneedling with Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) or Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) to stimulate your skin’s natural healing process, promote collagen production, and leave you with a healthier, more vibrant complexion.
What is Microneedling with PRP/PRF?
Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a cosmetic procedure that uses a device with tiny needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. This process triggers the body’s natural healing response, encouraging the production of collagen and elastin. When combined with PRP or PRF, the treatment is enhanced by your own growth factors, which help accelerate healing, reduce inflammation, and improve overall skin health.
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) and PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) are both derived from a small sample of your blood. The blood is processed to concentrate the platelets, which are rich in growth factors that promote healing and rejuvenation. This powerful combination of microneedling and your body’s natural healing properties makes it a popular choice for facial rejuvenation and skin renewal.
Benefits of Microneedling with PRP/PRF
Microneedling treatments with PRP/PRF offer numerous benefits, making it a go-to solution for anyone looking to improve their skin’s overall health and appearance.
The benefits of microneedling with PRP/PRF include:
- Improved Skin Texture: The microneedling process helps smooth uneven, rough skin, and can minimize pore size revealing a softer, more youthful complexion.
- Increased Collagen Production: Microneedling combined with PRP/PRF boosts the natural production of collagen and elastin production, leading to firmer, more toned skin. The treatment is a great preventative measure against skin laxity.
- Enhanced Skin Tone: The treatment can reduce the appearance of dark spots, hyperpigmentation, and acne scars, creating a more even, brighter skin tone.
- Rejuvenated Skin: PRP/PRF nourishes the skin with vital growth factors, promoting skin healing and revitalization alongside collagen growth from controlled micro-injuries.
- Minimal Downtime: This non-invasive treatment requires little recovery time, allowing you to return to your daily activities with minimal interruption.
What Can Microneedling with PRP/PRF Treat?
Microneedling procedures with PRP or PRF are highly versatile and effective treatments for a variety of skin concerns, including:
- Acne Scars: By promoting collagen production, this treatment can significantly improve the appearance of acne scars.
- Fine Lines and Wrinkles: The stimulation of collagen helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, particularly around the eyes and mouth.
- Uneven Skin Texture: Whether due to aging or scarring, this treatment enhances skin texture, giving it a smoother and more youthful appearance.
- Enlarged Pores: By promoting skin tightening, this procedure can reduce the appearance of enlarged pores.
- Stretch Marks: Beyond your facial complexion, beautiful skin is possible anywhere on the body, bringing visible improvements to stretch marks and scars.

How is Microneedling with PRP/PRF Performed?
During the procedure, a small blood sample is taken, and the PRP/PRF is extracted using a centrifuge. While the PRP or PRF is being prepared, a microneedling pen is used to create tiny punctures in the skin, which help the growth factors penetrate deeply into the dermal layers. Once the microneedling is completed, the PRP/PRF is applied to the treated area, allowing the growth factors to boost collagen production, promote healing, and improve skin tone and texture.
This combination not only tightens and firms the skin but also helps improve skin imperfections such as acne scars, fine lines and wrinkles, giving you a refreshed and more youthful appearance.
Who is a Good Candidate for Microneedling with PRP/PRF?
Microneedling with PRP/PRF is suitable for a wide range of individuals looking to enhance their skin health and appearance. Whether you have acne scars, fine lines, or sun damage, this treatment can help you achieve smoother, younger-looking skin. It is ideal for people who seek a non-invasive solution with minimal downtime and are looking to improve their overall skin tone, texture, and firmness.
During your consultation, our expert team will assess your skin type, skin goals, and medical history to determine if microneedling with PRP/PRF is the right cosmetic treatment for you.
Downtime & Recovery
Microneedling with PRP/PRF requires minimal recovery time, making it a convenient treatment for those with busy schedules. After the procedure, your skin may appear red, similar to mild sunburn, and you may experience some slight swelling and sensitivity. These effects typically subside within 24 to 48 hours, allowing you to continue normal activities directly after.
Since the aesthetic procedure uses your body’s own natural growth factors, the healing process is accelerated, and the risk of allergic reactions or side effects is very low. However, it’s important to follow your provider’s post-care instructions, which may include avoiding excessive sun exposure and using gentle skincare products.
