Does microneedling with PRP hurt, and how long is the downtime?
Does the blood draw hurt?
It is the same as a routine blood test: a brief pinch in the arm and one small tube. A small bruise at the site is possible. If you have fainted during a blood draw before, tell us so you can be positioned lying down.
How long will my skin look red?
Most people have redness similar to a mild sunburn for a day or two, followed by dryness and light flaking. Most resume their usual skin care in about a week.
How much does it cost?
Cost depends on the treatment area and the number of sessions in your series. It is quoted at your consult.
What sets the cost of microneedling
How PRP is made from your own blood
A small amount of blood is drawn from your arm, as in a routine blood test.
The tube is spun in a centrifuge, which separates the plasma from the red blood cells. The platelet-rich plasma is the portion applied to your skin.
It is prepared from your own blood during the same visit.

Questions
Microneedling with PRP questions
Is a PRP facial the same as microneedling with PRP?
Usually, yes. PRP facial is a common name for microneedling with PRP. Ask at your consult exactly what your session includes.
How many microneedling with PRP sessions will I need?
Most plans are a series, a few weeks apart. Acne scars often require more sessions than dull texture. Your provider recommends a number of sessions at the consult.
When will I see results from microneedling with PRP?
Change is gradual. Skin may look smoother once the redness fades, after about a week. Scars and texture improve over the following months, across the series.
Can I wear makeup after microneedling with PRP?
Wait at least a day, and longer if your skin still feels raw. The micro-channels from the pen need time to close. Use clean brushes when you resume.
Who should not get microneedling with PRP?
People who take blood thinners, have a blood or clotting condition, or are pregnant should wait or choose another option. The same applies to active acne, a cold sore or a skin infection in the treatment area.
Is PRP microneedling better than microneedling alone?
Neither is better for everyone. PRP adds a blood draw and costs more. Some people choose it for scars or under-eye skin, and others do well with microneedling alone. Your provider will advise which suits your skin.
