How Combining Microneedling and PRP Can Rejuvenate Your Skin

Looking for smoother, firmer, and more radiant skin without surgery? The powerful combination of microneedling and PRP (platelet-rich plasma) therapy is one of the most effective non-invasive treatments for skin rejuvenation. At Skin and Body Bar in Frankfort, IL, we specialize in delivering noticeable, natural-looking results using this advanced technique.

What Is Microneedling?

Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, uses tiny, sterile needles to create micro-injuries in the skin. These controlled micro-punctures trigger the body’s natural healing response, stimulating the production of collagen and elastin—two essential proteins that give skin its firmness and elasticity.

On its own, microneedling can help improve skin texture, reduce the appearance of acne scars, fine lines, and enlarged pores, and even out skin tone. However, when combined with PRP, the effects are elevated dramatically.

What Is PRP and Why Is It Effective?

PRP, or platelet-rich plasma, is a concentrated solution derived from your own blood. It contains growth factors and proteins that promote healing, collagen production, and tissue regeneration. PRP is commonly used in sports medicine and orthopedics, but it’s made a huge impact in aesthetic medicine for its ability to enhance skin quality.

During a PRP facial, a small amount of your blood is drawn and processed in a centrifuge to isolate the platelets. The resulting golden-colored serum is then applied to the skin—either topically or injected—following the microneedling session. Because PRP comes from your own body, there’s no risk of allergic reaction or rejection.

Why Combine Microneedling and PRP?

While microneedling alone already offers impressive skin-rejuvenating benefits, adding PRP significantly accelerates healing and improves results. Here’s how the two work together:

• Deeper Absorption: Microneedling opens up channels in the skin, allowing the PRP to penetrate more effectively.
• Faster Recovery: PRP boosts tissue repair, reducing inflammation and shortening downtime.
• Stronger Results: The growth factors in PRP enhance the body’s natural healing response, leading to firmer, smoother skin.
• Long-Term Improvement: Results continue to develop for weeks after treatment as collagen rebuilds.

Who Can Benefit from This Treatment?

Microneedling with PRP is safe for most skin types and is ideal for people dealing with:

• Acne scars or surgical scars
• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Uneven skin texture or tone
• Sun damage
• Enlarged pores
• Dull, tired-looking skin

This treatment can be done on the face, neck, décolletage, and even the hands.
