Before & After
Frequently asked questions
What is microneedling?
Microneedling is a safe, effective, and non-surgical treatment that involves puncturing the top layer of the skin with tiny needles also known as collagen induction therapy. The goal is to create micro-injuries to trigger the body’s healing response to stimulate natural collagen and elastin production to the area.
Am I a candidate for microneedling with PRF?

What should I expect with microneedling with PRP?

- Treatment day: Arrive with no makeup
- We will apply topical numbing cream on the treated area
- We draw your blood and place it into a centrifuge to produce the platelet-rich-fibrin
- We use SkinPen, FDA-cleared microneedling device to make tiny pin-pricks in your skin’s surface and deliver the PRF into your skin.
What’s the recovery time for microneedling with PRP?
You’ll have some redness, swelling, and sensitivity for the first three days. It is essential to avoid direct sun-light and heat during this time.
Avoid skincare products that have active ingredients like Retin-A and exfoliating acids can be too harsh for the first few days after a treatment. Stick to gentle hydrating products and be especially vigilant in protecting your skin with SPF.
How many treatments are required for microneedling with PRF?
Treatment plans vary based on the individual patient. Most patients need a series of three treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart. For rejuvenation, plan on treatments once or twice a year after your initial treatment series to maintain your results.
When will I see results?
You should notice improvement in your skin after a week. However, it takes time for collagen stimulation to occur and your skin will continue to look better over the course of 6-8 weeks.
