Microneedling works by creating controlled microchannels in the skin, which supports the skin’s natural renewal process. At Ashley McFarland Aesthetics, we can pair SkinPen or Vivace RF microneedling with PRP.
PRP stands for platelet-rich plasma. It is prepared from a small sample of your own blood and used as part of the treatment to support the skin’s healing response.
For appropriate treatment areas, PRP injections around the eyes or mouth are also included with our PRP microneedling treatments. Your provider will determine which areas are appropriate after evaluating your skin.
SkinPen with PRP is often selected by patients who want to address overall skin texture and support collagen production. Vivace RF combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy for patients who need a more advanced level of treatment and to address skin laxity.
Neither option is automatically right for everyone. Your provider will consider your concerns, medical history, desired results, and tolerance for downtime before making a recommendation.
Microneedling is also a treatment that works best as part of a thoughtful plan. Some patients begin with a series and then schedule maintenance treatments throughout the year.
