What Is Microneedling With PRF?
Microneedling is a minimally invasive facial treatment that uses a device with fine needles to create a series of tiny, controlled micro-channels in the skin’s surface. At CARE Esthetics, microneedling can be paired with Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF), a preparation made from a small sample of your own blood, which is applied to the skin as part of the treatment.
To prepare PRF, a small blood sample is drawn the same way as a routine blood draw and placed in a centrifuge, which separates and concentrates platelets and fibrin from the sample. This PRF preparation is then applied to the skin during the microneedling procedure.
What Can I Expect After a Microneedling Procedure?
After treatment, it is common for skin to appear red, similar to a mild sunburn, for 24 to 48 hours. Some patients notice their skin feels tighter in the days following treatment. As with any skin procedure, recovery time varies by person, and your provider can walk you through what to expect based on your skin and treatment plan.
How Long Does Microneedling Last?
The number of sessions recommended and how long any changes last vary from person to person. Your provider can discuss a personalized treatment plan and timeline based on your skin and goals during a consultation. Individual results vary.
How Does This Facial Treatment Work?
During the procedure, a handheld device creates a series of micro-channels across the treatment area. When PRF is used, the preparation made from your own blood is applied to the skin in connection with the microneedling process. This facial treatment is generally well tolerated, with minimal downtime for most patients, though experiences vary by individual.
