Microneedling with Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)

Microneedling combined with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) harnesses the healing properties of your own blood to rejuvenate the skin effectively.

Microneedling is a cosmetic procedure that involves using a device equipped with fine needles to create tiny punctures in the skin. This process stimulates collagen production, which aids in healing scars and reducing visible signs of aging.

What is Microneedling with PRP?

Microneedling becomes even more effective when enhanced with PRP. This advanced treatment involves using a microneedling device to create micro-injuries in the skin while simultaneously applying PRP, a component derived from your blood.


PRP consists of plasma—the liquid portion of blood—enriched with a higher concentration of platelets. Platelets play a crucial role in blood clotting and are essential for wound healing. To prepare PRP, a healthcare provider will draw a small sample of your blood and use a centrifuge to separate the PRP from other blood components.


Rich in proteins, growth factors, and cytokines, PRP promotes skin tissue repair and rejuvenation. During the procedure, a practitioner uses the microneedling tool to create tiny channels in the skin, followed by the application of PRP to these channels to further stimulate collagen production and cell regeneration.


This combination of microneedling and PRP is designed to enhance your skin's natural healing process, providing a revitalized and youthful appearance.

Microneedling with PRP FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions About Microneedling with PRP at Elle Medical & Aesthetics

  • What is the difference between microneedling with PRP and microneedling alone?

    While both treatments stimulate collagen production, microneedling with PRP uses your ownplatelet-rich plasma to accelerate healing and enhance results. PRP contains growth factors that

    further stimulate cellular repair, leading to improved skin tone, texture, and elasticity.

  • Is PRP microneedling safe?

    Yes. PRP is autologous, meaning it comes from your own body, which significantly reduces the risk of allergic reactions or complications. When performed by a trained professional, PRP microneedling is considered safe for most healthy adults.

  • How soon will I see results from microneedling with PRP?

    You may notice a brighter, more refreshed complexion within a week. However, full results usually develop over 4 to 6 weeks as new collagen forms. Skin continues to improve over time, especially with a series of treatments.

  • Does microneedling with PRP hurt?

    Most clients report only mild discomfort. A topical anesthetic is applied beforehand to minimize pain during both the microneedling and PRP application.

  • How many treatments do I need?

    For best results, we recommend a series of three treatments spaced about 4 to 6 weeks apart. More sessions may be recommended for deeper acne scarring or significant sun damage.

  • What does downtime look like after PRP microneedling?

    Expect redness and sensitivity similar to a sunburn for up to 3 days. Some mild peeling or flaking may occur as your skin regenerates. With proper aftercare, recovery is quick and manageable.
