What is PRP Treatment?
PRP stands for Platelet Rich Plasma and refers to a concentration of platelets in a small volume of plasma. Platelets play an integral part in blood clotting as well as release growth factors which aid healing processes and can promote collagen production, improving skin texture and appearance when applied topically.

What Is Microneedling?
If you want to improve the appearance of your skin, microneedling could be just what’s needed. This technique uses small needles to cause micro-injuries within the skin surface by puncturing with needles.
This process stimulates the skin’s natural healing mechanism, enhances collagen production, and improves texture and appearance of the skin.
Microneedling with PRP Benefits
Microneedling with PRP treatment does not show a statistically significant difference from standard microneedling treatments.
Microneedling with PRP offers numerous advantages. Microneedling stimulates collagen production directly, which in turn can improve wrinkles, scars and other signs of aging while simultaneously aiding wound healing and decreasing inflammation.
Microneedling with PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma, or PRP,) is an increasingly popular treatment that may prove more effective than microneedling alone for certain applications. PRP is derived from your blood and contains many growth factors that promote healing and collagen production, making this combination treatment especially advantageous.
Microneedling combined with PRP increases serum absorption and can enhance its results, furthering results of treatment. Microneedling may also be combined with other products like hyaluronic corrosive serums or vitamin serums; when used together these treatments help the skin look brighter and younger than ever before!
Microneedling – PRP offers many amazing skin treatments, and one such benefit of Microneedling-PRP therapy is:
- It is a minimally invasive treatment.
- It evens out skin tone.
- It has little to no downtime.
- It is effective on the appearance of enlarged pores, acne scars, uneven skin tone, fine lines, wrinkles, and sunspots.
The cost of Microneedling treatment
The cost of a microneedling with PRP treatment can run anywhere from $300-$800 per session, depending on the area of the treatment, the number of needed sessions to get the desired result, the type of the imperfection, and the level of the skin problem as well as any additional PRP treatments that you need or plan on doing.
You must seek professional treatment with approved equipment and high-quality products and not only look for inexpensive treatments. This process could be high risk if the clinic doesn’t follow the right procedure and safety protocols!

How long does it take to see the microneedling result?
It typically takes a few sessions to see the microneedling result. Some people may start to see results after the first session, but the full results will likely be reached after a few sessions. We typically recommend 6 sessions 1month apart. Most patients see results in 3months.
Maximum results are reached 3months after you finish your last session. The effects of microneedling with PRP are usually long-lasting. If you continue to use appropriate anti-aging skin care and sun protection, you can prolong the result of your treatment considerably.

PRP facial or PRP microneedling — which one do you need?
People use the two names interchangeably, and clinics do not always help. Here is the difference in plain terms.
A PRP facial (often called a vampire facial) applies the platelet-rich plasma to the surface of the skin, usually after a gentler resurfacing step. It is the lighter option, with less downtime.
A PRP microneedling treatment creates the micro-channels first, then works the plasma in through them. It reaches deeper, which is why it is the one usually chosen for acne scarring and for texture that has not responded to surface treatments — and why the recovery is a little longer.
If you are not sure which one your skin needs, that is exactly what the consultation is for. You can also read about our full PRP facial and medical facial options or our standard microneedling treatment.
Who is not a good candidate for PRP microneedling?
We would rather turn a treatment down than do one that is not right for you. PRP microneedling is generally not suitable if you have an active skin infection, an open wound or active acne breakout in the treatment area, or a blood or clotting condition that affects your platelets. It is also not something we perform during pregnancy.
If you are on blood thinners, have had a recent course of isotretinoin, or are being treated for any condition that affects healing, tell us at the consultation — we may ask you to check with your own doctor before we proceed.
Common questions about PRP microneedling
Short answers to what clients ask us most often in the consultation room.
Does PRP microneedling hurt?
We apply a topical numbing cream before the session, so most clients describe it as pressure and vibration rather than pain. The skin feels warm and tight afterwards, similar to mild sunburn, and that usually settles within a day or two.
How long is the downtime?
Expect redness for one to three days, sometimes with slight flaking as the skin recovers. Most clients are comfortable going back to normal routines the next day. Skip the gym, hot showers, saunas and swimming for the first 24 to 48 hours — see our guides on exercising after microneedling and peeling after microneedling.
Is PRP microneedling better than microneedling on its own?
We will not oversell it. Studies comparing the two have not consistently shown a large difference in the final result, which is why we walk each client through both options and the price difference rather than pushing the PRP version by default.
