Rejuvenate Your Skin with the Power of Your Own Platelet-Rich Plasma
PRP Facial Rejuvenation with Microneedling combines the skin-renewing benefits of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) with the collagen-stimulating effects of microneedling. This treatment uses your own blood-derived platelets and growth factors alongside controlled micro-injuries to encourage your skin’s natural healing and renewal process.
At LAK Med Spa in Wayzata, MN, PRP Microneedling can be customized to your skin’s needs to help improve the appearance of texture, tone, fine lines, and overall skin quality.
What Is PRP Microneedling?
PRP Microneedling combines two regenerative approaches into one treatment.
First, a small amount of your own blood is collected and processed to concentrate the platelets and growth factors found in your plasma. This platelet-rich plasma is then applied to the skin during or following microneedling.
Microneedling creates tiny, controlled channels in the skin using the SkinPen device. These micro-injuries stimulate the skin’s natural repair response and support new collagen and elastin production. PRP adds your own concentrated platelets and growth factors to the process.
The result is a treatment designed to support healthier-looking, smoother, more radiant skin from within.
How Does PRP + Microneedling Work?
The treatment works by encouraging your skin to activate its natural renewal process.
Step 1: Blood Collection
A small amount of blood is drawn from your arm, similar to a routine blood draw.
Step 2: PRP Preparation
Your blood is placed into a specialized system that separates and concentrates the platelet-rich plasma from the other components of your blood.
Step 3: Microneedling
SkinPen creates controlled microchannels in the skin. These tiny channels trigger the body’s natural wound-healing response and stimulate collagen and elastin production.
Step 4: PRP Application
The prepared PRP is applied to the treatment area, allowing it to work alongside the microneedling process.
What Can PRP Microneedling Do for Your Skin?
PRP Microneedling may help improve the appearance of:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Uneven skin texture
- Acne scars and other types of superficial scarring
- Enlarged-looking pores
- Dull or tired-looking skin
- Uneven skin tone
- Skin firmness and elasticity
- Overall skin smoothness and radiance
PRP Microneedling is not about changing your features — it is about supporting your skin’s natural ability to renew itself and creating a healthier-looking complexion over time.
What Is a PRP Microneedling Treatment Like?
Your appointment begins with a consultation to evaluate your skin and discuss your goals. Your skin will then be cleansed and prepared, and a topical numbing treatment may be used to improve your comfort.
A small amount of blood is drawn and processed while your skin is prepared for treatment.
The SkinPen is then used to create controlled microchannels across the treatment area. PRP is incorporated into the treatment to complement the microneedling process.
Most patients experience some warmth, redness, or a feeling similar to a mild sunburn immediately afterward. Your provider will give you personalized aftercare instructions to help support the healing process.
What Can I Expect After Treatment?
It is normal for your skin to appear red and feel warm or sensitive immediately after PRP Microneedling. Mild swelling or dryness may also occur.
As your skin heals, you may notice some peeling or flaking. This is part of the normal skin-renewal process.
Your provider will recommend a simple post-treatment skincare routine and advise you on when to resume your usual products and activities.
Because this treatment stimulates your skin rather than simply providing temporary surface-level results, the improvement continues to develop as your skin repairs and produces new collagen.
When Will I See Results?
Some patients notice an initial glow as their skin begins to recover, but the deeper benefits develop gradually.
Collagen production takes time, so improvements in texture, firmness, and overall skin quality may continue to appear over the weeks and months following treatment.
A series of treatments is often recommended depending on your skin concerns and goals. Your personalized treatment plan will be determined during your consultation.
Think of PRP Microneedling as a process — similar to going to the gym more than once. Consistency can be an important part of achieving and maintaining your desired results.
