SkinPen® Microneedling with PRP
At Beauty Refined, SkinPen® microneedling with PRP is a 90-minute regenerative skin treatment that pairs the FDA-cleared SkinPen® device with platelet-rich plasma drawn from your own blood to amplify your skin’s healing response, delivering deeper collagen stimulation and greater improvement than microneedling alone.
Better Skin Built From the Inside Out
Some skin concerns run deeper than standard microneedling can fully reach in a typical course of treatment. Moderate acne scarring, pronounced texture loss, skin laxity, and cumulative collagen depletion built up over years often require a stronger biological signal than micro-injury alone provides. Adding PRP changes that equation.
Platelet-rich plasma is concentrated from your own blood and contains growth factors that directly amplify the healing response triggered by microneedling. Applied during the session, it may support faster tissue regeneration and deeper collagen remodeling, and extend the renewal response beyond what either treatment could achieve on its own.
How SkinPen® Microneedling with PRP Works
We draw a small blood sample at the start of your appointment and process it to concentrate the plasma rich in growth factors. While the PRP is being prepared, a topical numbing cream is applied to the treatment area. The FDA-cleared SkinPen® device then creates thousands of controlled micro-punctures across the skin, triggering the body’s repair cascade. The PRP is applied immediately afterward, moving through the open micro-channels to reach deeper skin layers, where it can most effectively support collagen production and tissue renewal. The full session runs 90 minutes with minimal downtime.

Who Is a Good Candidate for SkinPen® Microneedling with PRP?
This treatment is well-suited for adults dealing with moderate to significant acne scarring, skin laxity, uneven texture, or cumulative signs of aging who want to maximize their microneedling results while adding the regenerative benefit of PRP. It is particularly valuable for those who have completed a standard microneedling series and want to accelerate or deepen their progress.
This treatment is not recommended for individuals with active skin infections, blood disorders, or certain inflammatory conditions. Your provider will review your health history and assess your skin before confirming a treatment plan.
What to Expect During Your First SkinPen® Microneedling with PRP Appointment
Your appointment begins with a skin assessment and a small blood draw to prepare the PRP. We apply numbing cream while the sample is processed. The 90-minute session then moves through SkinPen® microneedling, followed by PRP application. Mild redness and light swelling are normal and typically resolve within a few days. We provide personalized aftercare instructions before you leave.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is SkinPen® microneedling with PRP and how does it work?
This treatment uses the FDA-cleared SkinPen® device to create controlled micro-punctures in the skin, followed by applying platelet-rich plasma derived from your own blood. The PRP amplifies the healing response, supporting deeper collagen production and more significant skin renewal than microneedling alone.
What is the difference between standard microneedling and PRP microneedling?
Standard microneedling triggers the body’s repair response through controlled micro-injury. Adding PRP introduces concentrated growth factors that amplify the response, supporting faster healing, deeper collagen remodeling, and greater improvement, particularly for moderate scarring and skin laxity.
Is this the same as a vampire facial treatment?
Yes. This treatment is commonly called a vampire facial because it combines microneedling with platelet-rich plasma derived from your own blood. The term refers to using your own biology to drive the skin’s renewal process.
How many sessions are needed for optimal results?
Most clients benefit from 3 to 4 sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. Your provider will design a plan based on your skin concerns and goals during your consultation.
What should I expect after my session?
Mild redness and light swelling are normal and typically resolve within a few days. Follow your provider’s aftercare instructions, including gentle products and daily sunscreen while the skin heals.
Is this treatment safe?
Yes. Because PRP is derived from your own blood, the risk of an allergic reaction is very low. SkinPen® is FDA-cleared and safe for all skin types and tones. Your provider will review your health history to confirm candidacy.
Can this treatment help with acne scars?
Yes. This is one of the most effective professional treatment options for acne scars. By combining microneedling with PRP, the treatment supports deeper collagen remodeling for progressively smoother skin over the course of the treatment plan.
What should I do to prepare?
Avoid retinoids, chemical exfoliants, and active skincare ingredients for at least 48 hours before your session. Arrive well hydrated, as a blood draw is part of the process. Your provider will review any additional pre-care instructions during booking.
