Microneedling with PRP: The Ultimate Skin Renewal Combination

At Visage Rejuvenation, we’ve seen incredible transformations when clients combine microneedling with PRP therapy. This powerful duo — often called the “vampire facial” — is one of the most effective ways to renew the skin naturally, without surgery or extended downtime.

By blending advanced science with your body’s own regenerative power, microneedling with PRP enhances tone, texture, and elasticity while giving skin a radiant, youthful glow. If you’ve ever wondered why this treatment has become a favorite among celebrities, skincare professionals, and everyday clients alike, this guide will walk you through exactly what it is, how it works, and why it’s worth the hype.

Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive treatment that uses a device equipped with fine, sterile needles to create thousands of tiny micro-injuries on the skin's surface.

These controlled micro-channels trigger the body’s natural healing response — stimulating new collagen and elastin production. Over time, the skin becomes firmer, smoother, and more refined. Microneedling can improve:

• Fine lines and wrinkles

• Acne scars and enlarged pores

• Uneven skin tone and rough texture

• Dullness and loss of elasticity
   

At Visage Rejuvenation, we use advanced microneedling systems that allow precise depth and speed control. This ensures that treatments are tailored to your skin’s unique needs and sensitivities. The process is quick, safe, and delivers visible results with minimal downtime.

PRP stands for Platelet-Rich Plasma, a natural substance derived from your own blood. It’s rich in growth factors and proteins that play a key role in tissue repair, collagen stimulation, and cellular renewal.

Here’s how it works:

1. A small sample of your blood is drawn.

2. It’s placed in a centrifuge, which spins it at high speed to separate the plasma and platelets from red blood cells.

3. The resulting golden serum — your PRP — is concentrated with healing platelets that help accelerate recovery and rejuvenate tissue.
    

PRP has long been used in medical fields like orthopedics and wound healing. In aesthetics, it’s a game-changer for enhancing skin tone, reducing signs of aging, and speeding up post-treatment healing.

When microneedling and PRP are combined, the results go from great to extraordinary. The microneedling process creates microscopic channels in the skin, allowing the PRP to penetrate deeper and work more effectively.

Here’s what typically happens during a session at Visage Rejuvenation:

1. Consultation: We start by assessing your skin and discussing your goals.

2. Preparation: The skin is thoroughly cleansed, and a numbing cream is applied for comfort.

3. Blood Draw & PRP Preparation: A small vial of your blood is collected and processed in a centrifuge to isolate the PRP.

4. Microneedling: Using a medical-grade microneedling device, we create microchannels across the target area.

5. PRP Application: Immediately after, the PRP is applied and absorbed into the microchannels, allowing growth factors to activate deep within the skin.
    

This synergy amplifies collagen production, accelerates healing, and enhances the overall rejuvenating effect. The skin repairs itself from within, leading to smoother texture, reduced fine lines, and a radiant, healthy glow.

The combination of microneedling and PRP delivers a host of powerful, natural results:

• Boosted Collagen Production: Your body produces more collagen and elastin, firming and tightening the skin.

• Reduced Fine Lines and Wrinkles: Over time, the skin becomes smoother and plumper.

• Improved Skin Tone and Texture: PRP helps even out pigmentation and enhances overall radiance.

• Faster Healing: PRP accelerates the body’s recovery response, reducing redness and downtime.

• Minimized Scars and Pores: Acne scars and enlarged pores become less visible with each session.

• Natural Results: Because PRP is derived from your own blood, the process is biocompatible and completely natural — no synthetic fillers or harsh chemicals.
   

Many clients describe their post-treatment skin as glowing, refreshed, and revitalized — often within days. And because collagen continues to develop over several weeks, results keep improving long after the session.

Microneedling with PRP is straightforward and surprisingly comfortable. Here’s what a typical experience looks like:

During Treatment:
Once the numbing cream takes effect, you’ll feel light pressure or a mild tingling as the device moves across your skin. The entire session typically lasts 45-60 minutes, including PRP preparation.

Immediately After:
You can expect mild redness — similar to a light sunburn — that typically resolves within 24-48 hours. Most clients return to normal activities the next day.

Aftercare Tips:

• Keep the skin clean and hydrated.

• Avoid makeup for 24 hours post-treatment.

• Skip active ingredients (like retinol or exfoliants) for several days.

• Always wear sunscreen to protect the newly renewed skin.
   

Within a few days, you’ll notice a fresher, more radiant complexion. Over the next several weeks, as collagen remodeling takes place, results become even more visible — smoother texture, refined pores, and a more youthful appearance overall.

Microneedling with PRP is safe for most skin types and tones. It’s ideal for those who want to improve their skin’s overall health and appearance without harsh procedures or extended recovery. You may be an excellent candidate if you:

• Have mild to moderate signs of aging (fine lines, wrinkles, laxity)

• Struggle with acne scars or enlarged pores

• Want to boost radiance and even out texture

• Prefer natural, minimally invasive treatments

• Are seeking gradual, long-lasting results
   

Before every treatment, I conduct a full skin assessment to ensure it’s the right approach for your unique needs and to customize your treatment plan accordingly.

While some clients see noticeable improvements after just one session, most benefit from a series of three to six treatments, spaced about four to six weeks apart. This allows collagen to build and results to layer for maximum effect.

For ongoing maintenance and collagen support, we often recommend one or two follow-up sessions per year. Regular treatments help keep the skin looking youthful, firm, and vibrant.

Microneedling by itself already delivers excellent results — but when combined with PRP, it takes skin rejuvenation to a deeper, more regenerative level.

Here’s how they compare:

The addition of PRP makes the skin’s natural regeneration process more efficient, producing a luminous, healthy glow that lasts longer.

Is microneedling with PRP safe?
Yes. Because PRP is derived from your own blood, there’s virtually no risk of allergic reaction. Treatments are performed using sterile, medical-grade equipment for optimal safety.

Does it hurt?
Most clients describe the treatment as mildly uncomfortable at most. The numbing cream keeps any sensation minimal, and any post-treatment tightness or warmth typically subsides within a few hours.

When will I see results?
You may start to notice an improvement in tone and texture within a week. Full results — including firmer, smoother skin — develop gradually over the next few months as collagen production increases.

Can it be combined with other treatments?
Absolutely. Many clients combine microneedling with PRP alongside laser treatments, facials, or injectables for comprehensive rejuvenation. During your consultation, we’ll tailor a treatment plan that aligns with your goals.

Is there downtime?
Downtime is minimal. Most people experience slight redness for 1-2 days and can resume normal activities shortly after.

Microneedling with PRP is more than just a trend — it’s a scientifically proven way to rejuvenate skin naturally and effectively. By combining precision microneedling with your body’s own growth factors, this treatment stimulates deep healing, boosts collagen, and restores a youthful, radiant complexion without surgery or extensive downtime.
