Microneedling & PRP
Microneedling/ skinpen
Professional microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment for skin and hair rejuvenation. SkinPen is the first FDA-cleared microneedling device. SkinPen creates millions of controlled microchannels in the skin. The body naturally attempts to repair the damage by producing collagen and elastin during healing. Boosting collagen reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, smoothes acne scars, restores lost volume, and improves the overall texture, firmness and thickness of the skin. The procedure also triggers the creation of new skin cells using the body’s natural healing process.
Rf Microneedling/ virtue Rf
The VirtueRF Microneedling Platform is the most advanced RF microneedling device available today. The combination of radio-frequency and microneedling has become a proven, non-invasive option to visibly improve skin tone, tighten skin, and reduce fine lines and wrinkles. With three handpieces, more settings, and precise depths our providers are able to customize your treatment.
Microneedling works by applying sterile microneedles deep into the dermis of the skin. These needles 1) create microscopic channels that stimulate the natural production of collagen and 2) deliver radio-frequency heat energy at the desired depths to promote remodeling of collagen and elastin that tightens and lifts the skin.
- Exact RF Used to target areas around the mouth, eyes, jawline, and others that require absolute precision.

Microneedling With PRP
PRP (platelet rich plasma) is a valuable addition to microneedling because it augments the regenerative effects of the treatment. PRP is created by drawing a small amount of the patient’s blood, which is then spun to concentrate the platelets and transforming growth factors. The solution is then applied to the areas that have been treated with microneedling to boost the regenerative effects of the procedure, and improve the cosmetic outcome.
PRP For The Face
The PRP facial can be beneficial to people who have wrinkles, sun damage, or scars. By placing PRP back into the skin, cell proliferation is encouraged. This leads to an increase in elastin and collagen production. As a result, the skin will look tighter, fuller, and smoother.
Goals Of PRP For The Face
- Increase collagen & elastin production
- Smoother, tighter looking skin
Candidates For PRP For The Face
- Individuals with moderate sun damage
- Individuals with moderate fine lines & wrinkles
Benefits
- Decrease fine lines & wrinkes
- Improve sun damaged skin
- Reduce the appearance of scars
PRP For Hair Loss
PRP (platelet-rich plasma) therapy for hair loss is a three-step treatment in which a person’s blood is drawn, processed, and then injected into the scalp. PRP injections trigger natural hair growth and maintain it by increasing blood supply to the hair follicle and increasing the thickness of the hair shaft. Three treatments are required for maximum results.

- Increase hair thickness

FAQ’s
Who is a good candidate?
Those looking to improve their skin’s texture, firmness, and appearance are ideal candidates for microneedling with or without PRP. The procedure effectively reduces fine lines, wrinkles, and acne scars and enhances skin rejuvenation. Those with hair loss can also benefit from PRP treatments to stimulate growth.
When will I see the results?
Initial improvements can often be seen a few weeks after the first treatment, with more significant results appearing as the skin heals over time. About 4-6 weeks between treatments is typically recommended.
How long do the results last?
Results from microneedling vary from months to years, depending on the individual’s condition and lifestyle. Maintenance treatments may be needed to preserve the effects. PRP treatments can enhance and extend these benefits, mainly for hair rejuvenation.
What should I do before and after?
Before the procedure, avoid blood-thinning medications and supplements to reduce the risk of bruising. Afterward, it’s essential to protect the treated area from sun exposure and follow a gentle skincare routine. Using recommended post-treatment products will aid in healing and enhance results.
Is there any downtime or side effects?
Microneedling typically involves minimal downtime, allowing patients to return to normal activities within a day. Redness, swelling, and sensitivity are expected at the treatment site and usually subside within a few days. PRP may cause temporary bruising or swelling at the blood draw or injection site.
What can I expect?
During the microneedling treatment, controlled micro-injuries are created in the skin using the SkinPen or Virtue RF system, stimulating natural collagen production. When combined with PRP, the treatment involves applying PRP to the treated area to enhance the skin’s healing and rejuvenation process. Typically, the procedure takes 30-60 minutes, requiring additional time to apply numbing cream and prepare the PRP.
