Microneedling

Microneedling with PRP (platelet rich plasma) is used to treat scarring and blemishes and improves the appearance of skin. Acne scars, surgical scars, wrinkles, fine lines, hyperpigmentation, sun damage, large pores, and uneven skin texture can all be treated using micro needling with PRP.

Microneedling with PRP

PRP (platelet rich plasma) is an advanced procedure and technique that utilizes your body’s own blood to restore your tissue and skin. Plasma contains proteins called “growth factors,” which are capable of stimulating growth in living cells. This safe, natural, holistic alternative for resurfacing the skin using micro needles without an aggressive machine produces optimal results. It is important to understand that PRP injections are not fillers but can help fill a specific area naturally. Immediately following the procedure, the most commonly reported temporary side effects are redness, swelling, bruising, tenderness, tingling, numbness, lumpiness, and/or a feeling of pressure or fullness at the injection sites and/or in the treated area(s). Cold gel packs or ice may be applied immediately after treatment to reduce swelling. Our experts are available should you have any questions or concerns about microneedling with PRP.
What to Expect

Microneedling with PRP is minimally invasive, safe and effective. Our facility operates with ONLY sterile equipment to reduce any risk of infection. Our medical skincare experts begin by taking a sample of your blood (this ensures your body will recognize the blood, so there is no chance of rejection), then your blood sample will be placed into a centrifuge machine to separate the platelet rich plasma from other components.

This procedure may cause temporary bleeding and mild discomfort. Following cleansing of the area, a topical anesthetic cream will be used to eliminate and minimize pain and maximize tolerance.
Treatment Outcomes
- Tighter appearance – the natural restoring process of microneedling with PRP helps to build skin’s elastin, collagen and fibroblasts. The treatment gives skin a more youthful, smooth, tight and vibrant look.
- Improves and alleviates fine lines – the treatment helps fill in pitting areas of the skin, or areas that are lacking structure.
- Improves or alleviates scarring, acne, wrinkles, and dark appearance under the eyes.

After Your PRP Injections

You may experience mild swelling from the injected plasma, however, this swelling will subside and begin stimulating collagen production to the area shortly. Immediately following the procedure, the most commonly reported temporary side effects are redness, swelling, bruising, tenderness, tingling, numbness, lumpiness, and/or a feeling of pressure or fullness at the injection sites and/or in the treated area(s). Cold gel packs or ice may be applied immediately after treatment to reduce swelling.

To maximize results and prevent complications, avoid scrubbing the injection sites for at least four hours. Starting on the evening of the treatment and for the next several days, wash your face gently with the Clarity RX mild cleanser provided in the Post-Op Clarity RX Kit, once to twice daily. After several days, you may return to your regular skin care routine. Avoid direct high heat (blow dryer, sun, sauna, steam room, very hot shower, hot yoga, strenuous exercise, etc.) until the morning after treatment.
To Maximize Results
For a minimum of five hours after receiving a PRP treatment on your skin, please do not:
- Wash your skin.
- Expose the treated area(s) to direct high heat.
- Engage in activities that will get you wet or cause you to sweat.
After a PRP application, your medical skincare expert will apply a topical soothing/healing ointment. Starting on the evening of the treatment, wash your face gently with a mild cleanser (Clarity RX Cleanser) twice daily, followed by the application of the products included in the Post-Op Clarity RX Kit that will be given to you after your session. It is important to use the Clarity RX SPF 30 sunblock (provided in your kit) each morning until your skin has healed. You may return to your regular skin care routine when healed.

PRP Post-Procedure Care Instructions
Following a microneedling with PRP procedure, patients should not use any aggressive products for 72 hours, and an SPF of at least 30 should be worn when outdoors.

Immediately after the procedure, your medical skincare expert may apply moisturizer and sunscreen topically. Avoid sun tanning and prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Redness or sensitivity might be present (and last up to a few days) after the treatment.
- Use Tylenol only as needed for any soreness. Do not take any anti-inflammatory medications such as ibuprofen, Motrin or Advil. These agents will interfere with the natural inflammatory process that is critical and responsible for your skin rejuvenation.
- Use a clean pillowcase for three nights following your procedure.
- Clean all your makeup brushes, glasses, or anything that will touch your face.
- Avoid strenuous exercise or sweating for at least 24 hours after the procedure.
- Avoid sun exposure for three days, and if possible 10 days. Apply sunscreen with a minimum SPF of 30 every two hours.
- Mineral makeup may be worn after 24 hours.
- Regular skincare regimen may begin 48 hours after treatment, and Retin-A may be used 72 hours after treatment.
- A follow-up and repeat treatment is recommended in 4-6 weeks, and for best results a series of 3–5 treatments is recommended depending on the area and treatment goal.
