Microneedling

Microneedling is a non-invasive treatment that creates tiny, controlled punctures in the skin, triggering your body’s natural collagen and elastin production. The result is a clearer complexion, tighter pores, and vibrant, younger-looking skin.

Microneedling with PRP

Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) is a part of the blood rich in healing and growth factors, that can help treat early signs of aging, fine lines, dull skin, inflammatory rosacea, acne and acne scarring.

PRP Hair Restoration

A regenerative treatment that uses platelet-rich plasma (PRP) from your own blood to stimulate hair follicles, improve scalp health, and support natural hair growth. Commonly used for thinning hair and early hair loss.

Microneedling

is a non-invasive treatment that creates tiny, controlled punctures in the skin, triggering your body’s natural healing process. This cues the body to produce more collagen and elastin, which results in a clearer complexion, tighter pores, and vibrant, younger looking skin.

Collagen supports the skin structure, plumps fine lines and helps to soften scars. Elastin is the protein that allows the skin to stretch and then bounce back. By increasing the production of collagen and elastin, the skin will appear firmer and smoother.

Microneedling treatments can be enhanced by using serums tailored to your skin goals. This is especially beneficial because the microchannels created during microneedling increase the skin’s permeability, allowing these serums to penetrate deeply and maximize their benefits.

Scarring

Microneedling breaks down disorganized scar tissue and stimulates the growth of new, healthier collagen, improving the appearance, size and texture of scars over time.

Overall Skin Rejuvenation

Microneedling kickstarts the skin’s natural healing processes, leading to fresher, healthier looking skin with improved radiance, smoothness, and resilience.

Tone and Texture

Micro-injuries combined with targeted serums boost collagen and cell turnover, helping to refine pores, improve elasticity, and create a more even, vibrant skin tone.

Acne

Microneedling helps improve blood flow and delivers specialized serums that target sebum production, reduce inflammation, and enhance the body’s natural antimicrobial function to address acne.

Your Microneedling Appointment — Step-By-Step

1. Before

Please come to your appointment with a clean, makeup free face.

Avoid active exfoliants like retinol for 48 hours beforehand, and be diligent with sun protection for 2-3 weeks so your skin is calm, happy and ready for treatment.

2. Treatment

Before your first treatment, you will have a consultation with your provider to discuss:
✔ Your skin goals
✔ Areas of concern
✔ Your medical history to ensure this treatment is safe for you

Treatment itself takes about 30 minutes, depending on the area.

3. After

Immediately after, expect redness similar to a moderate sunburn along with some mild warmth. We’ll apply a cooling mask and calming products to soothe your skin before you leave.

Avoid vigorous exercise and makeup for 24 hours.

Some dryness or mild peeling may occur over the next few days.

4. Results

You’ll notice an initial glow within 1-2 weeks with most significant improvements, including texture and tone changes, appearing around 3 weeks after your final session.

Microneedling FAQs

Microneedling with PRP

is a minimally invasive treatment that can help treat early signs of aging, fine lines, dull skin, inflammatory rosacea, acne and acne scarring. Plasma, a part of the blood rich in healing and growth factors, is reintroduced into the skin using a microneedling device, which stimulates collagen producing cells and encourages the formation of new blood vessels.

Microneedling is a collagen-stimulating treatment that uses fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin, improving tone, texture, and overall skin health. This treatment can be combined with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) derived from your own blood to accelerate healing, boost collagen production, and enhance results.

Fine Lines & Wrinkles

Platelet rich plasma (PRP) contains platelets and growth factors that promote skin regeneration. When injected into the skin, PRP promotes collagen synthesis improving fine lines and wrinkles.

Skin Texture

By introducing growth factors and promoting collagen, PRP improves cell function and turnover, leading to smoother, more radiant skin.

Acne & Rosacea

Cytokines and other inflammation-mediating factors in PRP moderate inflammation in the skin, helping improve acne, rosacea, and redness.

Acne Scars

Cytokines, mesenchymal stem cells, and growth factors in PRP promote healing, helping the body remodel and reduce the appearance of scars.

Your PRP Facial Appointment — Step-By-Step

1. Before

Please come to your appointment with a clean, makeup free face.

Avoid active exfoliants like retinol for 48 hours beforehand, and be diligent with sun protection for 2-3 weeks so your skin is calm, happy and ready for treatment.

Avoid medications and supplements that increase bleeding and bruising including blood thinners, aspirin, NSAIDs (i.e. Advil/Ibuprofen) and alcohol.

2. Treatment

Treatment itself takes about 45 minutes.

Your treatment will start with a blood draw. The blood sample is then placed in a centrifuge and spun to separate the plasma from the red blood cells. While your provider prepares your PRP, they’ll apply numbing cream to your face to make the treatment as comfortable as possible.

Your provider will then microneedle the PRP into the face.

3. After

Immediately after, expect redness similar to a moderate sunburn along with some mild warmth. We’ll apply a cooling mask and calming products to soothe your skin before you leave.

Avoid vigorous exercise and makeup for 24 hours.

Some dryness or mild peeling may occur over the next few days.

4. Results

You’ll notice an initial glow within 1-2 weeks. Appearance of fine lines will continue to improve for up to three months following the last treatment in your series as your old collagen is replaced by newer, more effective collagen.

After your first three treatments, we recommend one treatment every 6 months to upkeep your results.

Microneedling with PRP FAQs

PRP Hair Restoration

is a minimally invasive treatment that can help improve hair count and thickness for people experiencing hair loss due to aging and some inflammatory conditions.

Plasma, a part of the blood that is rich in healing and growth factors, is injected directly into the scalp, triggering cell regeneration and shifting hair follicles into a more active growth phase. The result? Thicker hair and a healthier hair count.

Hair thinning

Platelet rich plasma (PRP) repairs and stimulates hair follicles by releasing growth factors and cytokines, increasing the number of hairs and the appearance of hair fullness.

Hair growth

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) speeds up the growth phase cycle of your hair, leaving more hairs in active phases and increasing the presence of visible hairs on the scalp.

Your PRP Hair Restoration Appointment — Step-By-Step

1. Before

Avoid medications and supplements that increase bleeding and bruising including blood thinners, aspirin, NSAIDs (i.e. Advil/Ibuprofen) and alcohol.

We recommend staying hydrated and eating lots of fruits and veggies prior to ensure healthy plasma. Nicotine will reduce the treatment’s effectiveness, so try to cut down on smoking in the days leading up to your treatment.

2. Treatment

Your treatment will start with a blood draw. The blood sample is then placed in a centrifuge and spun to separate the plasma from the red blood cells.

Your provider will then inject the PRP into the treatment area using a microneedle injector device if you have short hair, or using a tiny needle if you have long hair.

Treatment length is approximately 45 mins-1.5 hours.

3. After

Immediately after: You may experience some redness and loss of sensation of the scalp for several hours. You can shampoo and condition your hair as normal within 4-5 hours of your treatment.

For up to a few weeks: Some people experience temporary hair shedding in the weeks following their PRP treatment — this is a normal response as the hair follicles cycle through their growth stages and push old hairs out of existing shafts, making room for thicker, more resilient hair.

4. Results

Most people see a reduction in shedding as soon as 4 weeks after their third treatment. New hair growth is usually visible 6-12 weeks following the third treatment.

We do recommend pairing PRP with other hair loss treatments, as recommended by your family practitioner. Maintenance treatments are essential to keeping hair follicles in an optimal growth cycle.
