Why you'll love it

On its own, microneedling results in microscopic punctures to the skin that stimulates the skin's natural healing process. These results are enhanced when paired with PRP infusion (your blood’s Platelet Rich Plasma that is loaded with growth factors). Before your procedure and after microneedling is completed, your clinician will apply your PRP back into your skin to encourage collagen production, cellular turnover and boost your skin's natural healing process.

Your visit

Before, during and after

  1. 01

    During Treatment

    Get ready for your microneedling treatment.

    • Avoid Retinol 5-7 days prior. You should also refrain from receiving Botox for 1 week before your appointment
    • If you wear makeup to your appointment, we'll need to remove it.
    • Avoid excessive sun exposure or tanning.
  2. 02

    Pre-Treatment

    Every appointment starts with a consultation to understand your skin goals and personalize the treatment to you.

    • To avoid any discomfort, a topical anesthetic cream will be applied to the treatment area.
    • If you’re adding PRP, your clinician will perform a blood draw, which will be applied back onto your skin for enhanced effect.
    • Using a pen-like tool, microscopic pinpricks will be made underneath the skin’s surface. You may feel a warm, scratching sensation.
  3. 03

    Post-Treatment

    Immediately following your treatment, you can expect your skin to be flushed, as if you have a sunburn for up to 2 days. Your smoother skin will be noticeable within a week, with results lasting 3-5 months.

    • For the next 24 hours: Avoid makeup
    • For the next 48 hours: Avoid sweaty exercise, hot tubs, and swimming
    • To see and maintain optimal results, we recommend starting with a series of 3-5 treatments, spaced about a month apart.

Common questions

What is the difference between microneedling and microneedling + PRP? How do I decide which is the better option for my concerns?

Typically microneedling with PRP provides better results than microneedling alone. By infusing your blood’s PRP back into your skin, the effects of microneedling are enhanced. Applying PRP after microneedling also stimulates a quick healing response post-treatment.

What is PRP and what is blood centrifuging?

PRP stands for Platelet Rich Plasma, a substance in your blood that is rich with growth factors which trigger cell reproduction and stimulate tissue regeneration.

Your clinician will do a blood draw prior to the start of your appointment. This sample is then specially processed via blood centrifuging to isolate the plasma component of your blood. The clinician then uses a potent topical cream to numb your scalp at the areas intended for treatment.

What should I expect post treatment?

Immediately following your treatment, you can expect your skin to be flushed or bright red, as if you have a mild to moderate sunburn. Applying hyaluronic acid serum post treatment can encourage collagen production. You should not wear makeup for 24 hours and should avoid sweaty exercise, hot tubs, or swimming for 48 hours after treatment.

How long does it take to see results?

You can expect to start seeing results within a week, and you should notice full results within 4-6 weeks. This allows time for your body to produce collagen and elastin as part of the healing process.

How long do results last and how often should I get microneedling + PRP?

Immediately following your treatment, you can expect your skin to be flushed or bright red, as if you have a mild to moderate sunburn. Applying hyaluronic acid serum post treatment can encourage collagen production. You should not wear makeup for 24 hours and should avoid sweaty exercise, hot tubs, or swimming for 48 hours after treatment

What are the side effects of microneedling + PRP?

You can expect to see redness and swelling for up to 48 hours after your treatment, and some people experience flaking or peeling skin. You might also see small red spots or light bruising that lasts for several days during the healing process. To minimize side effects, be sure to take care of your skin using gentle cleansers, moisturizers, and SPF.

Who is not a candidate for microneedling + PRP?

We do not recommend microneedling for pregnant women or anyone with active acne breakouts.
