Microneedling with PRP

Smooth fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin tone, texture, hyperpigmentation and scarring with professional Microneedling with Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) treatments at Aesthetistry Med Spa, serving Leawood, Prairie Village, Overland Park, Mission Hills and nearby communities. As we age, natural collagen and elastin diminish causing significant visible changes in skin appearance. Microneedling with PRP treatments provide a safe and effective solution to rejuvenate your appearance.

What is Skin Pen Microneedling

SkinPen is a FDA-approved microneedling device that uses a sterile needle cartridge to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin, which stimulates the body's natural healing process to promote collagen and elastin. The procedure is minimally invasive and helps improve skin tone and texture, reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, acne scars, and helps decrease pore size. The treatment is safe for most skin types, typically little downtime, and optimal results are achieved after a series of sessions.

What to Expect During Treatment

Topical anesthetic cream is applied to the areas of treatment beforehand to help with comfort. A sterile, disposable needle cartridge is used for each treatment to ensure patient safety.The procedure typically takes about 30-45 minutes. Post treatment, redness and swelling usually subside within 24-48 hours. Improvements will be visible in the weeks and months after treatment as collagen and elastin continues to build. Best results are seen with a series of 3–6 treatments, spaced about a month apart. Results vary based on age, skin quality, and lifestyle factors. Further treatments can be scheduled as desired to maintain optimal results.

Benefits of Microneedling

Stimulates collagen and elastin: helps plump, firm, and smooth skin
Reduces signs of aging: softens fine lines and wrinkles
Enhances skin texture and tone: reduces pore size, roughness, and uneven tone
Improves appearance of stretchmarks and scars: helps remodel scar tissue
Increases skincare product absorption: allows greater effectiveness of products

Professional Microneedling vs At-Home Treatment

Professional microneedling uses deeper needles (up to 2.5 mm) for stronger collagen remodeling–producing significant skin rejuvenative results and ideal for scars and deep wrinkles.
At-home rollers are much shallower (0.25–0.5 mm) and mainly help with product absorption and surface texture.

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)

PRP is a revolutionary skin rejuvenation treatment that uses your body’s own platelet-rich plasma containing growth factors that actively promote cellular repair and accelerate collagen and elastin production. PRP improves skin texture and tone, reduces fine lines and scarring, and promotes a plumper, more radiant complexion. It is especially effective for delicate areas such as under the eyes or for skin that has lost elasticity due to aging or sun damage. PRP can be combined with microneedling or other laser treatments for even better enhanced regenerative results.

Benefits of Microneedling with PRP

Standard microneedling is significantly enhanced by integrating PRP therapy as part of the treatment. A small blood sample is drawn from the patient, then purified and separated to isolate the PRP containing growth factors. The separated PRP is then reintroduced to your skin during the microneedling process, permeating through the micro channels to reach the deepest layers of the skin. The PRP acts as a catalyst to boost the natural production of collagen and elastin significantly enhancing the results of the microneedling process. PRP also accelerates healing time by concentrating growth factors to stimulate cellular repair, reduce inflammation, and promote new tissue, collagen and elastin production. When combining PRP with microneedling the time for treatment will increase to 1.5-2 hours depending on areas of treatment.

FAQs - Microneedling with PRP

What does SkinPen microneedling do for the skin?
SkinPen microneedling creates controlled micro-injuries that stimulate the body’s natural healing response, increasing collagen and elastin production. This process improves texture, reduces wrinkles, minimizes pores, and fades scars for smoother, healthier-looking skin.

Is SkinPen microneedling safe for all skin types?
Yes, SkinPen is FDA-approved and safe for most skin types. Because it’s minimally invasive and uses sterile, single-use needle cartridges, it poses little risk of infection or complications when performed by trained professionals.

How long does it take to see results from microneedling?
Results begin to appear within a few weeks as new collagen forms and continue to improve for several months. For best results, a series of 3–6 sessions spaced about four weeks apart is typically recommended.

What’s the difference between professional microneedling and at-home rollers?
Professional microneedling reaches deeper layers of the skin (up to 2.5 mm) to trigger significant collagen remodeling, ideal for wrinkles and scars. At-home rollers are much shallower and mainly enhance skincare product absorption rather than produce structural rejuvenation.

How does PRP enhance microneedling results?
When PRP (platelet-rich plasma) is combined with microneedling, it delivers growth factors deep into the skin through the microchannels created by the needles. This accelerates healing, amplifies collagen and elastin production, and enhances overall skin firmness and radiance.
