At DermaBlue, we believe in treatments that work with your body—not against it. That’s why SkinPen® microneedling, especially when paired with your body’s own healing power through PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin), is one of our favorite ways to give your skin a fresh, glowing reset.
Let’s break it down and show you why this combo might be your skin’s new best friend.
What Is SkinPen® Microneedling?
SkinPen® is the first FDA-cleared microneedling device. It uses tiny, controlled micro-injuries to stimulate your skin’s natural healing process. This boosts collagen and elastin production, smooths out texture, and helps fade things like:
- Acne scars (yes, even those stubborn ones)
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Enlarged pores
- Stretch marks
- Dull, uneven skin tone
It’s a great option if you want fantastic results without surgery, fillers, or downtime-heavy treatments.
What Is PRF—and Why Add It to Microneedling?
PRF stands for Platelet-Rich Fibrin. It’s made from a small sample of your own blood, spun down to separate out powerful growth factors and white blood cells. Think of it as a concentrated, natural serum that supercharges your skin’s healing process.
What happens when we combine PRF with microneedling? When we apply PRF during or after your microneedling session, it:
- Speeds up recovery (less redness, less downtime)
- Boosts collagen production even more
- Reduces inflammation and helps calm the skin
- Enhances results—skin looks brighter, smoother, and healthier
It’s completely natural, biocompatible, and incredibly effective. No additives, no chemicals—just your body doing what it does best.
What’s a Microneedling with PRF Treatment Like at DermaBlue?
1. Consultation: During a free 30-minute consultation, we’ll talk about your goals, skin concerns, and whether adding PRF is right for you.
2. Prep & Numbing: At the time of your actual appointment, we begin by applying a topical numbing cream for comfort. If you’re doing PRF, we’ll draw a small amount of blood (like a routine lab draw).
3. Microneedling Begins: Using the SkinPen®, we gently glide across the skin to create thousands of precise microchannels.
4. PRF Application (Optional): While sometimes patients opt for microneedling without PRF, this combination can create amazing results. Your PRF is applied topically or injected into targeted areas for an added boost.
5. Aftercare: You’ll leave with simple, soothing instructions—and probably glowing a bit already. Your DermaBlue provider might recommend you avoid topical lotions, creams, and avoid direct sunlight for a few days.
Downtime? Results? Here’s What to Expect from Microneedling with PRF
Microneedling with PRF is a great treatment for those with busy lives because it requires very little downtime. Here’s what you can expect after the treatment.
- Redness for 24–48 hours (like a mild sunburn)
- Most people return to normal activities the next day
- Results build gradually—full collagen remodeling happens over 4–6 weeks
- For best results, we recommend 3–6 sessions, spaced about a month apart
When you add PRF to the microneedling equation, many patients notice faster recovery and enhanced skin brightness even after just one session.
Why Patients Love Combining PRF and Microneedling
Microneedling is already one of our most popular treatments, thanks to its ability to address a wide range of skin concerns. Adding PRF only increases its advantages. Among other benefits, PRF and microneedling together are:
- Natural and safe
- No harsh chemicals or additives
- Improves skin health from within
- Versatile—works on face, neck, chest, hands, and even stretch marks
