Microneedling with PRP (Platelet-rich plasma) is a aesthetic treatment that boosts collagen in your skin. It works by rolling tiny needles on your skin and adding platelets from your blood. PRP has proteins called growth factors and cytokines. These proteins help your skin heal and renew itself.
PRP, or Platelet-rich plasma, is a concentrated form of your own blood plasma. It’s made by taking a small sample of your blood and spinning it in a centrifuge to separate the platelets from other blood components. These platelets are packed with growth factors and proteins that help your body heal and regenerate tissue. When used in cosmetic treatments, PRP can stimulate collagen production, improve skin texture, and speed up healing.
SkinPen is the first FDA-cleared microneedling device in the world, clinically proven to safely and effectively fighting the appearance of neck wrinkles and facial acne scars for ages 22 and up. With as few as three non-invasive and affordable treatments spaced 30 days apart, you can improve your appearance for six months after your last treatment – and step out with confidence.
SkinPen creates hundreds to thousands of “micro” skin punctures per second to stimulate the skin’s natural wound healing process – inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling – to prompt tissue remodeling without causing scar tissue formation. Most patients can return to normal activities within 24 hours.
SkinPen is clinically proven to fight the appearance of neck wrinkles and reduce the appearance of acne scars. In fact, 90% of subjects in the clinical trial would recommend the treatment to friends and family. It’s a minimally invasive procedure performed in-office with little to no downtime.

A small amount of blood (30-60ml) is drawn from the patient’s arm.
The blood goes for a “spin” in a centrifuge separating the platelets from the rest of the blood.
The patient’s own platelet-rich plasma is now extracted from the test tube.
The plasma is injected into the desired area.
