Microneedling with PRP

Microneedling with PRP: Regenerative Skin Renewal Using Your Own Growth Factors

Microneedling with PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) combines collagen stimulation with your body’s natural healing properties to improve skin texture, tone, and overall radiance. Often referred to as a “vampire facial,” this treatment is grounded in regenerative medicine and designed to enhance skin quality from the inside out. At Metzner Aesthetics, microneedling with PRP is performed thoughtfully and precisely, with a focus on natural, long-term skin improvement.

​

What Is Microneedling with PRP?

This treatment combines two complementary techniques:

• Microneedling, which creates controlled micro-channels in the skin to stimulate collagen and elastin

• PRP, derived from your own blood and rich in growth factors that support healing and regeneration

PRP is applied during and after microneedling, allowing these growth factors to penetrate deeply into the skin where they can be most effective.

​

How Does It Work?

Microneedling

• Triggers the skin’s natural repair process

• Stimulates collagen and elastin production

• Improves texture, firmness, and fine lines

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma)

• Contains growth factors that support tissue repair

• Enhances collagen formation

• Improves skin tone and brightness

• Accelerates healing after microneedling

Together, these treatments create a synergistic regenerative response, leading to healthier, more resilient skin.

​

Who Is a Good Candidate?

Microneedling with PRP may be ideal if you:

• Want to improve skin texture or tone

• Have fine lines, enlarged pores, or acne scarring

• Are noticing early signs of aging

• Want a natural, biologic approach to skin rejuvenation

• Prefer treatments that use your body’s own healing mechanisms

It is appropriate for many skin types when properly customized.

​

Areas That Can Be Treated

Microneedling with PRP can be performed on:

• Face

• Neck

• Décolletage

• Hair Restoration/Scalp

• Hands

• Select areas of the body

Treatment depth and technique are tailored to the area being treated and the quality of the skin.

​

What to Expect From Treatment

• Treatment time: 45–60 minutes

• Discomfort: Mild to moderate; well tolerated

• Downtime: Redness for 3-5 days

• Results: Gradual improvement over weeks

• Treatment series: Often recommended for optimal collagen stimulation

Skin typically appears brighter within days, with continued improvement as collagen remodels over time.

​

Microneedling with PRP vs Microneedling Alone

While microneedling alone is effective, adding PRP can:

• Enhance collagen stimulation

• Improve healing time

• Increase glow and skin vitality

• Support more robust, long-term results

This makes PRP an excellent option for patients focused on skin quality and regeneration, not just surface improvement.

A Regenerative, Skin-First Philosophy

At Metzner Aesthetics, microneedling with PRP is never a generic facial. Each treatment is individualized based on:

• Skin type and sensitivity

• Degree of aging or scarring

• Healing response

• Long-term skin health goals

The focus is on strengthening the skin—not masking concerns.
