Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) is a popular add-on to microneedling, thanks to its ability to promote skin repair and collagen regeneration. This powerful combination treatment is ideal for addressing a range of cosmetic concerns, from signs of aging and volume loss to acne scar correction.

How does microneedling with PRF work?
During a microneedling session, your provider uses a handheld device to make tiny, controlled punctures in the skin. While the outer skin layer remains undamaged, the process initiates a wound-healing mechanism that begins generating new tissue in response to the perceived threat.
Microneedling is thus an ingenious way of triggering collagen renewal, which tightens and revives the complexion from within rather than through the use of synthetic fillers. In addition to stimulating collagen regeneration, microneedling also helps break down scar tissue and promotes healthy blood flow.
PRF is obtained from the patient, so the practitioner must first draw blood from the patient’s arm and then run it through a centrifuge to separate the blood from the plasma. Packed with growth factors, PRF is the perfect complement to microneedling, as it heightens results while accelerating recovery time.
