Microneedling with RF vs. PRP: What’s the Difference?

Looking for a way to treat wrinkles, age spots, hyperpigmentation, or scarring? Microneedling is a minimally invasive skin rejuvenation treatment that effectively targets a variety of skin concerns. By creating controlled micro-injuries, this procedure stimulates the body’s natural healing process, boosting collagen production to reduce signs of aging and improve overall skin texture and tone.

What Is Platelet-rich Plasma (PRP)

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is a concentrated component of blood that contains a higher-than-normal level of platelets, rich in growth factors essential for healing and tissue regeneration. While platelets are known for their role in clotting, they also help stimulate collagen production and repair damaged tissues. To prepare PRP, a small blood sample is drawn and processed through centrifugation to separate and concentrate the platelets. The resulting plasma is then injected into specific areas to promote natural healing and rejuvenation. PRP is commonly used in aesthetic and medical treatments for its regenerative benefits and minimal risk.

Traditional Microneedling

Traditional microneedling uses a device that creates microscopic punctures on the outer layer of your skin, stimulating the skin’s natural healing process. These micro-injuries result in the production of elastin and collagen, which work to thicken your skin and reduce the appearance of:
  • Acne scarring
  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Sun damage
  • Irregular skin texture and tone

Innovative treatments combine microneedling with radiofrequency (RF) energy and/or platelet-rich plasma (PRP) to dramatically enhance the benefits of traditional microneedling.

PRP Microneedling

The procedure for PRP microneedling is similar to a traditional microneedling treatment with the enhancement of adding platelet rich plasma. While you are getting the microneedling, we also apply PRP to the skin. Platelets are one of the components of blood, located in the plasma and are vital for healing injuries. PRP microneedling is most commonly used for facial rejuvenation, but can also be used on the neck, chest, or hands.

Which Microneedling Treatment is Best for Me?

The best treatment for you depends on your specific skin concerns. If you’re looking for a microneedling option that can be customized to target fine lines, wrinkles, and skin laxity, radiofrequency-assisted microneedling may be an ideal choice. To determine the most suitable approach for your unique needs, it’s important to schedule an in-person consultation with a qualified skincare professional who can assess your skin and guide you through your treatment options.
