Introduction To PRP Skin Needling

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) skin needling is a powerful combination treatment that uses your body’s own healing properties to rejuvenate the skin. This comprehensive guide will walk you through everything you need to know about PRP skin needling, from the science behind it to what you can expect during your journey.

PRP skin needling works by creating controlled micro-injuries in the skin with a microneedling device, which are then infused with concentrated platelets from your own blood. These platelets are rich in growth factors that stimulate cell renewal, boost collagen and elastin production, and accelerate the body’s natural healing process. The result is smoother texture, improved tone, reduced fine lines, and a radiant, youthful glow.

THE SCIENCE

How PRP Skin Needling Works

Micro-needling creates tiny channels across the skin. When platelet-rich plasma is applied during and after the process, its growth factors penetrate deeper layers. This speeds healing and stimulates collagen more effectively than needling alone.

Many clients also combine PRP skin needling with Rejuran treatment for hydration or with PDO mono threads for added tightening.

1

Preparation:

A blood sample is drawn and spun to separate platelet-rich plasma.

2

Needling:

A micro-needling device is used across the treatment area to open channels.

3

PRP Application:

Plasma is applied directly and absorbed through the channels for repair and renewal.
