Microneedling with PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) is a cutting-edge treatment that combines advanced needle technology with your body’s own natural healing power. Available at all Serene Med Spa locations, this procedure effectively targets concerns such as acne scarring, enlarged pores, sun damage, and uneven texture. By creating controlled micro-injuries, we trigger a natural repair response, while the concentrated growth factors in your PRP amplify the rejuvenation process.
This powerful combination stimulates collagen production for a smoother, firmer, and more radiant complexion. Treatments typically last around 45 minutes, with most guests achieving optimal results after a series of 3–4 sessions spaced several weeks apart. You can expect to see full, collagen-rich improvements develop over the course of 3–6 months.
Understanding Microneedling with PRP and How It Works
Often referred to as Collagen Induction Therapy, microneedling works by creating controlled micro-injuries that activate your skin’s natural three-phase healing process: inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. By targeting the dermis—the deep layer where collagen and elastin are produced—we stimulate renewal without harming the skin’s surface. When paired with PRP, these micro-channels allow concentrated growth factors to penetrate deeper, significantly accelerating your results.
This powerful treatment addresses:
Fine Lines & Wrinkles: Softens expression lines by boosting new collagen production.
Scars: Helps remodel tissue from acne or surgical scarring.
Texture & Tone: Promotes a smoother, more balanced complexion.
Enlarged Pores: Refines skin texture as the surrounding tissue tightens.
Sun Damage: Supports brighter, healthier skin by targeting hyperpigmentation.
Stretch Marks: Improves visibility and blends texture with surrounding skin.
Microneedling with PRP is safe and effective for all skin tones, offering enhanced rejuvenation through your body’s own natural growth factors.
The Power of PRP in Microneedling with PRP
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is meticulously prepared from a small sample of your own blood. Using a specialized centrifuge, we concentrate vital platelets—rich in growth factors like PDGF, TGF-beta, VEGF, and IGF—that signal your skin’s fibroblasts to produce fresh collagen, elastin, and a healthy extracellular matrix.
At every Serene Med Spa location, your freshly prepared PRP is applied topically or through targeted micro-injections immediately following your microneedling session. This ensures these powerful growth factors are delivered precisely where they are most effective. This essential step is what transforms a standard treatment into the high-performance rejuvenation known as Microneedling with PRP.
Our Signature Microneedling Process
Whether you visit us in Ohio, West Virginia, Florida, or Kentucky, we follow a standardized, medical-grade protocol to ensure safety and superior results:
Prep & Comfort: We begin with a deep cleanse and apply a topical numbing agent (optional but recommended) to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure.
Precision Microneedling: Using a professional-grade device, we create micro-channels at depths tailored to your specific goals—shallower for skin tone and pores, or deeper for treating scars and texture.
PRP Infusion: Your freshly prepared PRP is applied topically and/or delivered via targeted micro-injections to jumpstart the regeneration process exactly where it’s needed.
At a Glance:
Treatment Time: Approximately 30–60 minutes.
Recommended Series: Typically 3–6 sessions scheduled every 4–6 weeks.
Maintenance: One session every 3–6 months to sustain your results.
Expected Timeline: You’ll notice an initial “glow” within 2–3 weeks, with significant improvements appearing by 4–6 weeks as collagen continues to rebuild.
Who’s a Good Candidate?
Microneedling with PRP commonly known as Vampire Facial is a versatile treatment suitable for most skin types and concerns. However, to ensure your safety at every Serene Med Spa location, we recommend delaying treatment if you are currently pregnant or breastfeeding, have active skin infections, or have used Accutane within the last six months. Our expert team will perform a thorough medical history review during your consultation to ensure this procedure is right for you and to establish realistic, achievable goals for your skin.
Aftercare & Expected Results
Following your treatment at any Serene Med Spa location, proper aftercare is essential for maximizing your results and ensuring a smooth recovery:
First 24 Hours: Your skin may feel warm or tight, similar to a mild sunburn. Please avoid applying makeup or any skincare products during this time.
48–72 Hours: Use a gentle cleanser with tepid water. Continue to avoid strenuous workouts, saunas, and hot showers to prevent irritation.
Days 3–7: Mild flaking is normal as your skin begins to renew. Avoid using retinoids, acids (AHA/BHA), Vitamin C, or physical scrubs for at least 5–7 days.
Ongoing Protection: Daily use of a broad-spectrum SPF is a must to protect your fresh, glowing skin from sun damage.
What to Expect: While most guests see an initial glow quickly, we typically recommend a series of 3–6 sessions for the best results in smoothing fine lines, scars, and skin texture.
