What this is
How microneedling works
Microneedling creates controlled, microscopic injuries in the skin. Your body responds by producing new collagen and elastin to repair those injuries. The result, over a series of treatments, is thicker, smoother, more resilient skin with improved texture, tone, and surface quality.
Adding PRF (platelet-rich fibrin, drawn from your own blood) amplifies the response. Growth factors concentrated in PRF accelerate healing and drive dramatically better collagen production. Microneedling with PRF typically outperforms microneedling alone.

How our microneedling protocol works
Most protocols are 3 to 6 sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart, followed by quarterly or semi-annual maintenance.
Consultation and skin prep
Before your first session, we assess your skin, discuss downtime expectations, and may prescribe a 2-to-4-week skincare prep to optimize results.
The session
Topical numbing for 30 minutes, then the microneedling session itself (typically 30 to 45 minutes). PRF, if added, is drawn and prepared at the start of your visit. You will go home with post-treatment instructions.
The next 3 to 5 days
Mild redness (like a sunburn) on day 1. Some dryness or peeling on days 2 to 3. By day 4 to 5, you look normal again. Most patients can return to work in 24 to 48 hours with light makeup.
Results timeline
Early glow at 1 to 2 weeks. Meaningful improvement at 4 to 6 weeks. Full results at 3 months. Additional improvement continues for 6 months after your last session.
Microneedling with PRF
PRF adds about 20 to 30 minutes to your session and roughly doubles the treatment cost. It dramatically improves outcomes for acne scarring, under-eye crepey texture, overall skin quality, and patients with slower healing. For most patients serious about results, PRF is worth it.
Suited for: Acne scarring, under-eye texture, patients prioritizing outcome.
