Microneedling with PRP, and who it suits

We like treatments that work with your own biology. Microneedling with platelet rich plasma does exactly that, using your collagen, your elastin and your healing response.

What microneedling is and how it works

Microneedling encourages your skin to build new collagen. We use a device with very fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. They are small by design. The point is to trigger the natural repair response, which in turn drives collagen and elastin production.

We apply topical numbing before treatment because comfort matters. Afterwards we ask you to go one full day without makeup. Healing begins immediately, though you will not see much on day one. Collagen regeneration peaks around four to six weeks after treatment, and results can hold for up to six months.

What PRP is

PRP stands for platelet rich plasma. We draw a small amount of blood at the start of your appointment. Within five to ten minutes that becomes a concentrate of your own platelets and growth factors.

During a microneedling and PRP treatment we apply that concentrate directly to the area being treated, so it reaches the micro-channels while they are open. Because the material is your own, it is considered a low risk, minimally invasive addition. No harsh chemistry involved.

What microneedling with PRP can help

1. Hyperpigmentation. Age spots and other uneven pigment often lighten across a series.
2. Stretch marks. Collagen stimulation can improve their appearance and texture.
3. Uneven texture. Skin reads smoother and more even, which is where fine lines improve.
4. Enlarged pores. As collagen builds, skin tightens and pores appear smaller.
5. Acne scarring. Not appropriate during active breakouts, but very effective on the pitting left behind.

Why we recommend adding PRP

Microneedling and PRP work well together. Adding PRP amplifies the healing response the needles start, which supports new collagen and elastin. Patients see better texture, softer fine lines and a general improvement in skin quality.

1. Collagen production. Collagen carries skin elasticity and firmness, so building it improves both line depth and texture.
2. Tone and clarity. New cell growth helps with acne scarring, sun damage and general dullness.
3. Safety profile. The treatment is minimally invasive and relies on your own healing response, with boosters available where a plan calls for extra support.

We treat patients from Spicer, Kandiyohi County, the Willmar Lakes Area, St. Cloud and the Twin Cities. If microneedling with PRP sounds like a fit, book a consultation and we will assess your skin and plan a series.
