Microneedling with or Without PRP

If you’ve been searching for a powerful, minimally invasive skin treatment that delivers real results—without surgery or extensive downtime in Bala Cynwyd, the Main Line, Philadelphia or New Jersey—microneedling may be your skin’s new best friend. Here at Yahla we have you covered. Whether performed alone or enhanced with PRP (platelet-rich plasma), this cutting-edge treatment continues to gain popularity for its ability to target a wide range of skin concerns across multiple skin types.

But what exactly is microneedling? How does PRP take it to the next level? And how does it compare to other skin rejuvenation treatments like lasers and chemical peels?

Let’s break it all down.

What is a Microneedling?

Also known as collagen induction therapy, microneedling is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that uses a pen-like device with fine needles to create micro-injuries in the skin. These tiny punctures trigger the body’s natural wound-healing process, resulting in increased collagen and elastin production—the building blocks of youthful, healthy skin.

Microneedling is suitable for both the face and body and is a popular choice for non-surgical skin rejuvenation.

How PRP Enhances Microneedling

When microneedling is combined with PRP therapy, your own blood is drawn, spun in a centrifuge to isolate platelets, and then applied or injected into the skin during or after microneedling.

This is often referred to as the “vampire facial,” and it significantly boosts healing, enhances skin texture, and accelerates results. PRP is rich in growth factors, which help stimulate skin regeneration and improve overall skin tone, texture, and radiance.

Compared to standard microneedling, microneedling with PRP offers faster recovery, improved results, and better long-term collagen production

Common Skin Concerns Treated

Microneedling (with or without PRP) is incredibly versatile and effective at treating a wide range of concerns, including:

Acne scars
Fine lines and wrinkles
Hyperpigmentation and melasma
Enlarged pores
Stretch marks
Uneven skin tone
Sun damage
Textured skin
Sagging or thinning skin
Scalp hair thinning (in combination with PRP)

This makes it one of the most popular facial treatments for anti-aging and skin texture improvement.

Who Can Benefit from Microneedling?

Microneedling is safe and effective for all Fitzpatrick skin types, including darker complexions that may not be ideal candidates for certain laser treatments.

You’re a great candidate if you:

Have mild to moderate skin laxity or scarring
Want non-invasive wrinkle reduction
Are looking for a natural skin rejuvenation solution
Prefer minimal downtime
Want a brightening facial treatment without harsh chemicals

It’s also an excellent alternative for those who can’t tolerate laser skin resurfacing or chemical peels.

How Long Does Microneedling Take?

The treatment itself takes about 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the area being treated and whether PRP is included.

Topical numbing is applied for 20–30 minutes beforehand to ensure comfort. When adding PRP, you’ll also need a few extra minutes for the blood draw and platelet preparation.

How Many Treatments of Microneedling Are Needed for Results?

While many clients notice improvements after just one session, a series of 3 to 6 treatments spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart is recommended for optimal results. Maintenance sessions every 6–12 months can help maintain your glow.

If you’re targeting acne scars or deep wrinkles, expect to commit to more sessions for visible transformation.

Side Effects and Downtime

Microneedling is considered safe when performed by trained professionals. Side effects are usually mild and temporary:

Redness (like a mild sunburn) lasting 1–3 days
Dryness or peeling
Slight swelling or tightness

When PRP is added, healing may be quicker and less irritation is experienced overall.
