Minimally invasive facial rejuvenation procedure that combines microneedling with applying the patient's PRF to enhance skin renewal and healing.
Microneedling with platelet-rich fibrin (PRF/PRP) is a minimally invasive facial rejuvenation procedure that combines microneedling with applying the patient’s PRF/PRP to enhance skin renewal and healing.
Microneedling with PRF/PRP actively uses the patient’s own blood-derived PRF or PRP—rich in platelets, white blood cells, growth factors, and fibrin—to stimulate wound healing. As a result, the treatment boosts collagen production and elastin synthesis. Over time, this process leads to noticeably smoother, firmer skin texture.
A typical treatment lasts about an hour and begins with a thorough review of the procedure, potential risks, side effects, and post-care instructions. Next, the provider numbs the skin to ensure comfort.
Then, they perform microneedling and apply PRF/PRP—either in stages or by alternating between microneedling and PRF/PRP application by section. This step-by-step approach helps maximize results and comfort throughout the session.
After treatment, the skin will first appear red and slightly swollen. Over the next few days, it may become dry and begin to slough off as part of the natural healing process.
During this period, gentle cleansing, consistent moisturizing, and diligent sun protection are essential to support recovery.
In the first 24 hours, patients should avoid exercise, makeup, and certain medications.
Additionally, it’s important to steer clear of harsh skin treatments and anti-inflammatory drugs for the first week to allow optimal healing and results.
Patients can expect smoother, healthier, and more youthful-looking skin with a firmer texture. Combining microneedling and PRF/PRP results in enhanced and prolonged skin rejuvenation effects.
Microneedling with PRF/PRP is considered safe. It utilizes the patient’s own blood-derived PRF/PRP without additives, which minimizes the risk of adverse reactions and promotes natural healing.
The cost of microneedling with PRF/PRP varies depending on the clinic and the extent of the treatment. Patients should consult with their provider for specific pricing information.
