Microneedling in Plain English

Think of a pen with teeny-tiny needles (not scary, promise) that lightly tap the skin. What that does is wake up your body’s natural repair system. Collagen, elastin—all the good stuff—gets the signal to rebuild.

The end result? Smoother skin, fewer fine lines, less of that tired, dull look. Basically, it’s your skin but refreshed.

Adding PRP: The Extra Boost

Here’s where things get fun. You can totally do microneedling by itself and see results. But… if you add PRP (platelet-rich plasma), you’re giving your skin an extra push.

PRP comes from your own blood (yep, it’s all you). We spin it in a little machine, pull out the golden part, and apply it while we microneedle. People call it “liquid gold,” and honestly, that’s not hype. It helps the skin heal faster and usually gives better results—especially if you’re dealing with scars or deeper wrinkles.

Which Option Makes Sense?

Honestly, it depends on what you’re looking for:

Just microneedling → great for glow, texture, smaller pores.

Microneedling with PRP → better if you want a stronger change, faster healing, or you’re tackling bigger issues like acne scars.

We’ll chat, check out your skin, and figure out the best route. Easy.

The Big Question: Does It Hurt?

This one always comes up. And no—it’s not bad. We use numbing cream, so most people say it feels more like a scratchy vibration. Afterward, your face might look a little pink or sunburned, but it chills out in a day or two.

The cool part? A couple of weeks later you’re in the bathroom like, “Wait… my skin actually looks good.” And your friends notice too.

Let’s Get Real—You Deserve Skin That Glows

You don’t need another $100 cream sitting half-used on your shelf. You need something that actually works. And microneedling—especially with PRP—gets you there.
