What is microneedling with PRP?
Signature Wellness is proud to offer microneedling, a procedure that creates very small holes in the skin, stimulating the skin’s healing response to repair and restore itself. As an additional bonus, your own platelet-rich plasma (PRP) can be applied to the same area to further promote healing and encourage the skin to grow new cells.
What are the benefits of microneedling with PRP?
Microneedling is a leading solution since it can help refresh the skin in as little as one appointment. With the incorporation of platelet-rich plasma, your improvements can be even more magnified. Many of individuals at Signature Wellness enjoy a range of benefits from microneedling with PRP, including:
- PRP boosts elastin and collagen production down within the skin surface for advanced outcomes
- Less healing time compared to microneedling alone
- Outcomes last for a year or longer
- Improves a variety of problems at once, like wrinkles and fine lines, skin texture problems, sun spots, uneven skin color, acne scarring, large pores, and more
- Safe for virtually all skin types
Am I a candidate for microneedling with PRP?
Good candidates for microneedling with PRP include anyone looking to improve the look or feel of their skin. Uneven skin tone, dry skin, harsh texture, loose skin, age spots, wrinkles, acne, and scarring are all skin conditions that could benefit from microneedling with PRP treatment. This treatment can also be used to help combat the effects of sun damage that may have caused your skin to have a rough feel or hyperpigmentation.
How does microneedling with PRP work?
Prior to the microneedling part of your treatment, a member of our medical team will take a small sample of your blood to collect the platelet-rich plasma. The drawn blood will then be taken to our laboratory for the separation process, during which the platelets, growth factors, and stem cells can be turned into PRP. For your microneedling treatment, Signature Wellness uses an advanced microneedling system to make small holes in your skin. The little needles used don’t damage your skin but instead help stimulate the creation of collagen. When the microneedling is finished, the PRP serum will be applied to your skin and allowed to sink in. Once the PRP is completely absorbed, we’ll clear away the serum and cleanse the skin.
What to expect after microneedling with PRP
Following your microneedling with PRP procedure, you could experience some minor effects that may include swelling, bruising, and redness. Allyson recommends that you do not wear makeup, cleanse with exfoliating skin cleansers, or submerge in chlorinated pools for about 72 hours following the session. These activities can expose your skin to bacteria and chemicals, which may cause adverse reactions. You should also avoid exposure to the sun or use sunscreen and wear protective clothing when planning to be outdoors. Final results are usually seen within the first month as the skin works to repair and heal itself.

Microneedling with PRP FAQS
How much does microneedling with PRP cost?
Microneedling with PRP treatments will be priced according to the size and number of areas being treated. After your consult to build your personalized treatment plan based on your concerns and goals, cost can be reviewed. Signature Wellness often offers discounted packages of several microneedling with PRP plus monthly treatment specials. You can ask about current specials and which payment methods we accept during your consultation and first treatment.
Should I get microneedling with PRP or injectable wrinkle treatments?
Although microneedling with PRP delivers long-term rejuvenation, injectable wrinkles treatments produce faster improvements. Depending on your concerns, you may prefer microneedling with PRP alone or you might get it with an injectable wrinkle treatment, like Juvéderm, Restylane, or BOTOX. In your initial consult, your technician will develop your treatment plan to fit your goals.
What is the difference between PRP microneedling and traditional microneedling?
While the results of traditional microneedling depend entirely on the small punctures made during the treatment, microneedling with PRP is also able to utilize these same holes to deliver our advanced PRP serum directly into the skin. This further enhances the results without adding any additional time or effort to your session.
How effective are microneedling with PRP treatments?
The results from microneedling with PRP treatments may not be visible immediately; however, the healing factors from the platelet-rich plasma serum are meant to stimulate the growth of a stronger, healthier complexion. To see your optimal results, you may need to get multiple treatments right away and then maintain your results with semi-annual treatments. We will go over what to expect during your consultation so you know what will happen after your treatment.
How many microneedling with PRP treatments should I get?
To begin, you may prefer to get a series of microneedling with PRP treatments scheduled every 2 – 3 weeks. Depending on the initial condition of your skin and your concerns, we will develop a treatment plan that restores the health and appearance of your skin. Between treatments, you can schedule a facial or other skin treatment to remove dead skin layers and nourish the new growth.
How often should I get microneedling with PRP treatments?
Following the initial series of treatments, you should schedule maintenance sessions about 2 – 4 times every year. This will vary based on the health and age of your complexion and goals, so we will help create your custom plan. We will be able to make recommendations on how often you should schedule treatments to keep your complexion healthy.
