Your Skin, But Better: Microneedling with PRP
At San Diego Cardiac, Vein & Laser Treatment Center, one of the standout treatments under the Aesthetics menu is SkinPen Precision Microneedling — a minimally invasive procedure designed to refresh and rejuvenate your skin with very little downtime.
So… What Is Microneedling Anyway?
Microneedling is a treatment where hundreds of ultra-fine needles create tiny micro-channels in your skin’s surface. Those micro-injuries — don’t worry, they’re super controlled — prompt your body’s natural healing response. That means your skin thinks, “Hey! Time to build fresh, firm collagen!” The result? A smoother texture, improved tone, and an overall refreshed look.
This wonder-worker can help:
- Smooth fine lines and wrinkles
- Even out skin texture and tone
- Reduce the appearance of acne scars
- Tighten up large pores
- Give dull skin a radiant glow
And the best part? Most people jump back into their day with only mild redness — kind of like you’ve had a sunny afternoon outside (sans sunburn).
Enter PRP: Your Skin’s Cheerleader
Now for the fun upgrade — adding PRP to your microneedling session. PRP stands for platelet-rich plasma and comes from your own blood. Yep — they draw a tiny sample, spin it down in a centrifuge, and extract the growth-factor-rich portion (aka the good stuff). That PRP is then applied with your microneedling — getting deep into those little micro-channels you just created.
Why is that awesome? Because PRP brings your body’s own natural repair team right into the mix. Think of it as giving your skin a personal pep rally while it builds collagen, renews tissue, and hydrates.
Benefits of Microneedling + PRP Together
Pairing microneedling with PRP can amplify results and offer perks like:
- Boosted collagen & elastin for firmer, stretchy skin
- Improved hydration and a dewy finish
- Reduced fine lines, scars, and uneven pigmentation
- Accelerated healing — meaning you can see results sooner
- A natural-looking glow using your own biology (no synthetic fillers!)
Many folks say they see that “fresh-from-vacation” glow within days, with improvements continuing over several weeks as collagen remodels.
What to Expect
A typical session lasts about 45–60 minutes — and while your skin might look a bit pink right after, most people are back to normal routines in a day or two. Repeated sessions (often spaced a few weeks apart) can bring the best, most lasting results.
Final Glow-Up Thoughts
Whether you’re chasing smoother texture, softer lines, or a brighter complexion, microneedling is a versatile, gentle way to refresh your skin — and adding PRP can kick those results into high gear in a natural and personalized way.
