COLLAGEN INDUCTION + GROWTH FACTORS

Microneedling
with PRP

The most powerful collagen-induction treatment we offer — SkinPen microneedling layered with platelet-rich plasma drawn from your own blood. Micro-channels open the skin, growth factors flood in, and your body rebuilds itself from the inside out.

About the Treatment

Channels Open,
Growth Factors In

Microneedling with PRP combines two regenerative therapies into one powerful session. SkinPen creates thousands of micro-channels in your skin; platelet-rich plasma drawn from your own blood is delivered through those channels to amplify your body’s natural healing response.

Treatment runs about 90 minutes including the blood draw, centrifuge processing, and microneedling application. Pinkness for 24–48 hours, glow at 7 days. Real regenerative results — scar remodeling, refined texture, improved tone — build over 3–6 months as your body produces new collagen amplified by growth factors. Most clients schedule 3 sessions for optimal results, then maintenance every 6–12 months.

  • Activates collagen and elastin renewal
  • Restores firmness and bounce
  • Softens fine lines and refines texture
  • Treats face, neck, and body
  • Safe across every skin type
  • Minimal downtime, surgery-free

— Is This Right For You?

Who This Is For

Microneedling with PRP is one of our most-requested combination treatments — the upgrade for clients who want amplified results from collagen-induction therapy. Here’s when our team typically recommends it.

01

Acne scars

Atrophic acne scars (rolling, ice pick, boxcar) — particularly stubborn ones that haven’t fully responded to standard microneedling. Adding PRP amplifies the regenerative response, accelerating scar remodeling beyond what either treatment achieves alone.

02

Texture & tone

Stubborn texture, uneven tone, or fine lines that haven’t shifted with topical care. The combo accelerates collagen production and improves skin quality more dramatically than microneedling alone.

03

Stretch marks

Stretch marks on the abdomen, thighs, or arms. The combination stimulates new collagen and elastin formation more effectively than microneedling alone, fading appearance and improving texture over a series of sessions.

04

Maximum results

You’re committed to investing in your skin and want the most powerful collagen-induction option available. Adding PRP roughly doubles the regenerative response of standard microneedling — for clients who want results, not just maintenance.

What to Expect

Your combo journey

Microneedling with PRP is a multi-phase treatment that maximizes your skin’s healing response. Each step is performed by a board-certified provider in our Cranston, Rhode Island studio.

  1. Step 01

    Consultation

    A conversation about your goals — scar revision, dramatic rejuvenation, stretch mark improvement. We confirm the combo is right for you and review what to expect from the amplified response.

  2. Step 02

    Blood draw + processing

    A small blood sample is drawn and processed in a centrifuge for 8–10 minutes, isolating concentrated platelet-rich plasma. The PRP is then loaded for application.

  3. Step 03

    Numbing

    Topical numbing applied for 30–45 minutes. Microneedling with PRP is more comfortable when the upper skin layers are fully numbed.

  4. Step 04

    Microneedling + PRP

    SkinPen creates thousands of micro-channels across the treated area. PRP is applied during and after — the open channels act as conduits, delivering growth factors deep into your skin where they trigger amplified healing.

  5. Step 05

    Building

    Pinkness for 24–48 hours, glow at 7 days. Real regenerative results build over 3–6 months. We schedule subsequent sessions 4–6 weeks apart, completing 3 sessions for optimal cumulative effect.

— Common Questions

Microneedling + PRP FAQ

We start by drawing a small blood sample and processing it in a centrifuge to isolate platelet-rich plasma. We then perform SkinPen microneedling — creating thousands of micro-channels in your skin. PRP is applied during and after, allowing growth factors to penetrate deeply through those channels for amplified regenerative effect.
Standard microneedling triggers your body’s collagen response through controlled micro-injuries. Adding PRP amplifies that response by introducing concentrated growth factors directly into the open channels — roughly doubling the regenerative effect compared to microneedling alone.
Topical numbing for 30–45 minutes makes both portions of the treatment comfortable. The blood draw is a quick pinch. Most clients describe the microneedling itself as a vibration or pressure sensation. Total appointment runs about 90 minutes including processing.
Pinkness for 24–48 hours, similar to microneedling alone. Most clients return to work the next day with mineral makeup. SPF 30+ for 2 weeks is essential. Sometimes mild bruising at the blood draw site fades in 1–2 days.
Most clients see meaningful results from a single session. For acne scars, stretch marks, or significant texture concerns, 3 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart deliver optimal cumulative results. Maintenance every 6–12 months keeps results going.
Initial glow at 7 days. Real structural results — scar remodeling, tone refinement, texture improvement — develop over 3–6 months as collagen builds. The combination effect is more pronounced than either treatment alone.
For specific concerns (acne scars, stretch marks, dramatic rejuvenation), yes — the amplified regenerative response delivers visibly better results. For general maintenance or pre-event glow, standard SkinPen alone may be sufficient. We’ll recommend the right option during consultation.
Most healthy adults are candidates. Not recommended during pregnancy, with active acne flares, blood disorders, or while on certain blood thinners or recent isotretinoin. We’ll review your medical history during a complimentary consultation.
