Microneedling with PRP is a minimally invasive cosmetic treatment designed to improve skin texture, tone, and overall appearance. Microneedling uses fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin, supporting the skin’s natural repair process. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP), prepared from a small sample of the patient’s own blood, may be applied or used alongside microneedling based on the treatment plan.
What Can It Help With?
This treatment may be considered for acne scars, enlarged pores, uneven skin texture, fine lines, mild pigmentation concerns, and overall skin rejuvenation. Your dermatologist will assess your skin type, concerns, and medical history before recommending an appropriate approach.
What to Expect
A consultation is usually performed before treatment. The skin is cleansed and a topical numbing cream may be used for comfort. Microneedling is then performed, with PRP incorporated when clinically appropriate. Temporary redness, sensitivity, swelling, or mild discomfort can occur afterward. Recovery varies depending on treatment intensity and individual skin response.
Results are gradual and may require multiple sessions. Proper aftercare and sun protection are important for maintaining skin health.
