PRF Microneedling
What is PRF microneedling?
PRF Microneedling is an advanced, regenerative treatment that combines traditional microneedling with Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF), a powerful concentration of your body’s own growth factors.
During the treatment, PRF (derived from a small sample of your blood) is applied to the skin and delivered through controlled microchannels created by microneedling. This enhances absorption and allows growth factors to penetrate deeper into the skin.
The result is a treatment that not only improves the surface of the skin, but also works on a cellular level to stimulate collagen, accelerate healing, and restore overall skin health.
The process
- A small blood sample is taken
- The blood is spun in a centrifuge to isolate PRF
- Microneedling is performed to create microchannels in the skin
- PRF is applied and infused into the skin during and after treatment
This combination enhances healing, boosts collagen production, and improves overall skin regeneration.
Why add PRF to Microneedling?
While traditional microneedling stimulates collagen through controlled micro-injury, adding Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) significantly enhances both the quality and speed of your results.
- Enhanced Collagen Stimulation PRF delivers a concentrated dose of growth factors directly into the skin, amplifying collagen and elastin production beyond what microneedling alone can achieve.
- Faster Healing & Reduced Downtime The regenerative properties in PRF help calm inflammation and accelerate the skin’s natural healing process, meaning quicker recovery and less redness.
- Improved Results for Scarring & Texture PRF supports deeper tissue repair, making it especially effective for acne scarring, enlarged pores, and uneven texture.
- Better Skin Quality & Glow Clients often notice more hydrated, plump, and radiant skin due to improved circulation and cellular renewal.
- Sustained, Longer-Lasting Results Unlike PRP, PRF releases growth factors slowly over time, leading to more gradual, natural, and longer-lasting improvements.
- 100% Natural Approach Because PRF is derived from your own blood, it’s completely biocompatible with no added chemicals or synthetic ingredients.
