Microneedling with PRP/PRF
Why Choose Microneedling with PRP/PRF for Skin Renewal?
Microneedling is the most common skin rejuvenation procedure for improving overall skin texture. It works by creating tiny, controlled punctures in the skin that trigger collagen and elastin production. It’s effective for reducing acne scars, fine lines, pore size, and pigmentation—and you can usually resume normal activities right away. At Mini Medi Spa, we like to combine microneedling with PRP/PRF to enhance results through the additional growth factors delivered to your skin.
How Does Microneedling Work?
A microneedling device creates thousands of microscopic channels in the skin’s surface. These micro-injuries:
- Trigger a natural wound-healing cascade
- Stimulate collagen and elastin synthesis deep within the dermis
- Enhance absorption of topical serums and growth factors
Treatments typically take 30–45 minutes and are spaced 4–6 weeks apart for 3–6 sessions, customized to your skin concerns and goals. Post-treatment, your skin renews itself over several weeks, resulting in firmer, smoother, and more evenly toned skin.
