Frequently Asked Questions: SkinPen Microneedling with PRP
Understanding Treatment & Benefits
What exactly is SkinPen Microneedling and how does it work? The SkinPen creates thousands of controlled micro-injuries in your skin, triggering your body's natural healing response. This process stimulates collagen and elastin production, leading to skin rejuvenation. The device is FDA-cleared and uses sterile, disposable needle cartridges for optimal safety.
What's the difference between microneedling with and without PRP? Microneedling with PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) combines the traditional treatment with your body's own growth factors. We draw a small amount of blood, process it to concentrate the platelets, and apply this nutrient-rich plasma to your skin during treatment. This can enhance healing and maximize results.
What skin concerns can microneedling address? The treatment effectively addresses multiple concerns including acne scars, fine lines, wrinkles, enlarged pores, uneven texture, stretch marks, and hyperpigmentation. It's suitable for all skin types and can be used on various body areas.
Treatment Preparation & Process
How should I prepare for my microneedling treatment? Avoid retinoids, exfoliants, and sun exposure for 3-5 days before treatment. Arrive with clean, makeup-free skin. If you're prone to cold sores, let us know as you may need preventive medication.
How long does the treatment take? A typical facial treatment takes 45-60 minutes. Adding PRP extends the appointment by about 30 minutes. This includes numbing time to ensure your comfort.
Do you apply numbing cream before the treatment? Yes, we apply a medical-grade numbing cream 20-30 minutes before treatment to minimize discomfort.
Pain & Comfort Concerns
How painful is microneedling? Most clients report minimal discomfort thanks to our professional-grade numbing cream. You may feel light pressure or a scratching sensation, but it's generally well-tolerated.
What does it feel like during the treatment? You'll feel the device moving across your skin with a vibrating sensation. Some areas may be more sensitive than others, but our technicians adjust pressure accordingly.
Is the PRP blood draw painful? The blood draw for PRP is similar to a routine blood test. We use a small needle and only need a small amount of blood.
Recovery & Downtime
How long is the downtime after treatment? Typical downtime is 24-72 hours. Your skin will look pink/red (similar to a sunburn) immediately after treatment, with most visible redness subsiding within 48 hours.
When can I wear makeup after the treatment? We recommend waiting 24-48 hours before applying makeup to allow your skin's microchannels to close and prevent product-related irritation.
Can I go to work the next day? Yes, most clients return to work the next day. Any remaining redness can typically be covered with makeup after the 24-hour waiting period.
Results & Expectations
When will I see results from microneedling? Initial results appear within a week as redness subsides. Significant improvements in skin texture and tone continue to develop over 4-6 weeks as collagen production increases.
How many treatments will I need? Most clients benefit from a series of 3-6 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart. The exact number depends on your specific skin concerns and goals.
How long do results last? Results can last 6-12 months with proper skincare and sun protection. Annual maintenance treatments help preserve and enhance results.
Safety & Medical Concerns
Is microneedling safe for all skin types? SkinPen is FDA-cleared and safe for all skin types and tones. However, certain medical conditions or medications may affect eligibility.
Can I get microneedling if I have active acne? We recommend waiting until active breakouts have cleared to prevent spreading bacteria and irritation.
Are there any contraindications for treatment? Yes, including pregnancy, active infections, certain autoimmune conditions, blood disorders, and use of blood-thinning medications.
Cost & Value
How much does microneedling cost? Treatment costs vary based on area treated and whether PRP is included.
Is microneedling covered by insurance? As this is a cosmetic procedure, it's typically not covered by insurance. However, we offer various financing options.
Why is PRP an additional cost? PRP processing requires specialized equipment, additional time, and medical expertise to properly prepare and administer.
Pre-scheduled Treatment Questions
Should I arrive without makeup? Yes, please arrive with clean, makeup-free skin to maximize treatment time and effectiveness.
Can I drive myself home after treatment? Yes, the treatment doesn't affect your ability to drive.
What should I bring to my appointment? Just yourself with clean skin. We provide all necessary aftercare products and instructions.
Post-Treatment Care
What products should I avoid after treatment? Avoid retinoids, exfoliants, and harsh active ingredients for 5-7 days. We'll provide a complete list of products to avoid.
Can I exercise after treatment? Wait 24-48 hours before resuming strenuous exercise to avoid excessive sweating and irritation.
How should I care for my skin immediately after treatment? Keep skin clean and hydrated. Use only recommended gentle cleansers and moisturizers. Avoid sun exposure and always wear SPF.
Long-term Care & Maintenance
How often can I safely get microneedling treatments? Treatments can be performed every 4-6 weeks until desired results are achieved, then quarterly for maintenance.
Will I need touch-up treatments? Annual maintenance treatments are recommended to preserve results and continue stimulating collagen production.
How can I maximize and maintain my results? Follow a consistent skincare routine, protect your skin from sun damage, maintain a healthy lifestyle, and schedule regular maintenance treatments.
