How Microneedling with PRF Transforms Skin
This PRF treatment transforms your skin by activating and enhancing the natural healing and cell regeneration process with three simple steps. Once each microneedling session is complete, the skin begins to heal itself, resulting in a more refreshed and rejuvenated appearance.
Inflammation & Application
The microneedling device penetrates the skin’s surface during treatment, creating micro-wounds to trigger the body’s natural healing response to disinfect, flush out debris, increase circulation, and regenerate new tissue. PRF is applied directly to these channels created during the microneedling process to increase and further stimulate the natural healing process and the creation of collagen and elastin.
Rapid Cell Reproduction
The body rebuilds the tiny punctures left behind during the microneedling treatment with new cells that include proteins and white blood cells that were absorbed deep into the skin from the application of PRF. At the same time, a new network of blood vessels is developed, supported and strengthened by the growth factors and fibrin from PRF.
Remodeling
New skin tissue and blood vessels form over the next 4-8 weeks that are rich in collagen and elastin proteins. This improves the skin’s tone and quality and visibly reduces acne scars, neck wrinkles, volume loss, and other common concerns. Continued improvements can be seen over time based on the body’s collagen production. The overall result is smoother, firmer, and more radiant skin.

What happens during a Microneedling
with PRF treatment?
The first step of your PRF microneedling treatment is drawing a small amount of blood, about three teaspoons, from your arm. The blood is then spun at a low G force to isolate the PRF while the microneedling portion of the treatment is done simultaneously.
During microneedling, your medical provider will use a device to create tiny channels, or micro-wounds, on the surface of the skin. This creates a controlled inflammatory response to trigger the body’s natural healing response. Depending on the size of the area, this can take only 30 minutes.
The second part of the procedure will be the application of the PRF. It will be applied directly to the channels created during the microneedling process to further stimulate the natural healing process, creation of collagen, and an overall enhancement in growth factors. This process can also take about 30 minutes, meaning one PRF microneedling treatment will take about 60 minutes on average.
Combining microneedling and PRF into a single treatment not only delivers more benefits in less time, but also improves the skin’s ability to utilize the proteins and growth factors in PRF by up to 3,000% when compared to the rate of absorption from regular topical application. This provides a significant boost in skin regeneration and support of the body’s natural healing and rejuvenation process. The combination of PRF and microneedling results in smoother, firmer and healthier skin inside and out.
How soon can I see results?
Microneedling with PRF leaves no scarring and requires no downtime or significant recovery period. Your skin may be slightly pink–the sensation is described by patients as similar to a mild sunburn. However, you can return to your normal activities right away. Your skin will fully recover in about 4-7 days. Stay out of the sun and use sunscreen to protect your skin while it’s still healing.
Your body will naturally begin to remodel your skin with the boost in collagen and elastin over the next 4-8 weeks. You will see continual improvements during this time and additional long term effects, including skin tightening and enhanced skin quality, up to 16 weeks after initial treatment.
