Microneedling with PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) combines tiny needles to boost your body’s natural collagen production with the regenerative properties of your own blood. Serene Med Spa offers this innovative treatment to target concerns like acne spots, sagging areas, enlarged pores, facial scars, sun damage, and uneven texture. Controlled micro-injuries prompt your skin to heal itself, while PRP—platelets and growth factors concentrated from your blood—amplifies rejuvenation.
The combination promotes cellular turnover for smoother, firmer, more youthful-looking skin. Sessions take $\sim 45$ minutes; most guests see best results after $3-4$ treatments spaced several weeks apart. Full collagen-rich improvements typically appear over $3-6$ months.
Understanding Microneedling with PRP and How It Works
Also called collagen induction therapy, microneedling creates precise micro-injuries that trigger a three-phase repair response (inflammation $\rightarrow$ proliferation $\rightarrow$ remodeling). We target the dermis—where collagen and elastin live—without damaging the protective outer layer. Microneedling with PRP is highly effective because it immediately delivers concentrated growth factors to these deep layers.
Fine lines & wrinkles: New collagen softens expression lines.
Acne/surgical scars: Helps remodel scar tissue.
Texture & tone: Smoother, more even complexion.
Enlarged pores: Appear refined as skin tightens.
Hyperpigmentation/melasma & sun damage: Supports brighter, healthier skin.
Stretch marks: Improves look and blend with surrounding skin.
Microneedling with PRP is suitable for all skin tones and, when paired with PRP, allows growth factors to penetrate deeper via the micro-channels for enhanced results.
The Power of PRP in Microneedling with PRP
Platelet-Rich Plasma is prepared from a small blood draw. Using a centrifuge, we concentrate platelets (rich in PDGF, TGF-$\beta$, VEGF, IGF) that signal fibroblasts to build new collagen, elastin, and extracellular matrix and support a calmer, healthier skin environment.
At Serene Med Spa, your freshly prepared PRP is applied topically and/or via micro-injections immediately after microneedling to deliver growth factors where they’re most effective. This step is what elevates a standard microneedling procedure to the powerful treatment known as Microneedling with PRP.
How We Perform Microneedling with PRP
Cleanse & Numb (optional).
Microneedling with a professional device at tailored depths (shallow for tone/pores; deeper for scars).
PRP application (topical and/or targeted injections).
Treatment time: ~30–60 minutes
Series: typically 3–6 sessions every 4–6 weeks; maintenance every 3–6 months.
When you’ll notice changes: early glow in 2–3 weeks; bigger improvements by 4–6 weeks, continuing for months as collagen rebuilds.
Who’s a Good Candidate?
Great for most skin types and concerns above. Please delay if pregnant/breastfeeding, have active infections, open lesions, recent Accutane (≤6 months), bleeding disorders, or are on blood thinners. We’ll review your medical history to keep you safe and set realistic goals. more
Aftercare & Expected Results
First 24 hours: skin feels warm/tight; avoid makeup/skincare.
48–72 hours: use gentle cleanser, tepid water; avoid workouts, saunas, hot showers.
Days 3–7: mild flaking is normal; avoid retinoids, acids (AHA/BHA), vitamin C, scrubs for 5–7 days.
Sun care: daily broad-spectrum SPF is a must.
Most guests complete a series of 3–6 for optimal smoothing of scars, fine lines, and texture.
