Does microneedling with PRP hurt, and how long is the downtime?
Does the blood draw hurt?
It feels like a routine blood test: a quick pinch in the arm and one small tube. Some people get a small bruise there. If you have fainted at a blood draw before, say so and you can lie down.
How long will my skin look red?
Most people look like they have a mild sunburn for a day or two, then the skin feels dry and flakes a little. Most are back to their usual skin care in about a week.
How much does it cost?
It depends on the area and the number of sessions in your series. It is priced 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, like a routine blood test.
The tube spins in a machine called a centrifuge. That separates the plasma from the red cells. The plasma is the part used on your skin.
It is made from your own blood during the same visit.

What happens at a PRP microneedling visit

Blood draw
A small tube of blood is drawn and spun while your skin is prepared.
- 03
Microneedling and PRP
The pen passes over each area. The plasma goes on during and after, so it reaches the tiny channels the pen makes.

Going home
Your skin looks red, like a sunburn. You leave with aftercare steps.

Recovery after microneedling with PRP
- Day one: red and warm, like a mild sunburn. Keep the skin clean and bare.
- Days two and three: the redness fades, and skin can feel rough or flake.
- About a week: most people are back to their usual skin care.
- Every day: sunscreen.

What is microneedling with PRP?
Microneedling with PRP is a microneedling session that uses platelet-rich plasma, made from a small sample of your own blood. The plasma goes on the skin during and after the pen passes. Some people call it a PRP facial. Magic FemTouch MedSpa in Oak Lawn offers it for the face, under the eyes, or both.

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 take more sessions than dull texture. Your provider gives you a session count at the consult.
When will I see results from microneedling with PRP?
Change is slow. Skin can look smoother once the redness fades, after about a week. Scars and texture change 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 tiny channels from the pen need time to close. Use clean brushes when you start again.
Who should not get microneedling with PRP?
People who take blood thinners, have a blood or clotting condition, or are pregnant should wait or pick another option. The same goes for active acne, a cold sore or a skin infection on the area.
Is PRP microneedling better than microneedling alone?
Neither one 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 say which fits your skin.
