Experience natural skin rejuvenation with the power of advanced microneedling. At Cheng Plastic Surgery, we offer PRP Microneedling with SkinPen® Elite, a cutting-edge treatment that combines your body’s own regenerative potential with state-of-the-art technology to restore smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin.

What is PRP Microneedling?

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) Microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment that uses your body’s own growth factors to rejuvenate the skin. The procedure begins with a simple blood draw, from which platelets are isolated and concentrated. These platelets are rich in proteins that stimulate tissue repair and collagen production.

Microneedling involves creating tiny, controlled micro-injuries in the skin to trigger the natural healing process. When paired with PRP, the treatment enhances cellular renewal and promotes firmer, clearer, and more radiant skin.

What Can PRP Microneedling with SkinPen® Elite Treat?

This powerful combination therapy can address a wide range of concerns, including:

  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Acne scars and surgical scars
  • Large pores
  • Hyperpigmentation and sun damage
  • Uneven skin texture and tone
  • Dull or aging skin

What to Expect During Your Treatment

Your visit will begin with a consultation to determine your candidacy and goals. After drawing a small amount of blood, we prepare the PRP while cleansing your skin. The SkinPen® Elite device is then used to create precise microchannels, followed by the application of PRP to boost collagen production and healing.

Most patients describe the treatment as comfortable, with a sensation similar to light sandpaper moving across the skin. The entire session typically takes 45 to 60 minutes.

Recovery and Results

Following your treatment, you may experience redness and mild swelling similar to a sunburn for 1–3 days. Most clients begin to see improvement in skin tone and texture within a week, with continued enhancements over several weeks as new collagen forms.

A series of 3 to 6 treatments is typically recommended for optimal results, spaced about 4 to 6 weeks apart.

Frequently Asked Questions About Microneedling

Is microneedling with SkinPen® Elite painful?

Most patients tolerate microneedling very well. A topical numbing cream is applied beforehand to minimize discomfort. You may feel a light scratching or vibrating sensation during the treatment, but it is generally not considered painful.

How many microneedling treatments will I need?

For optimal results, a series of 6 sessions spaced about 4 to 6 weeks apart is typically recommended. The exact number of treatments depends on your skin concerns and desired outcome.

What’s the difference between microneedling with PRP and without PRP?

Microneedling alone stimulates collagen and elastin production through controlled micro-injury. When paired with PRP, the treatment is enhanced by delivering your body’s natural growth factors directly into the skin, accelerating healing and improving results.

Is there any downtime after the treatment?

There is minimal downtime. Most patients experience redness, sensitivity, and mild swelling for 1–3 days, similar to a mild sunburn. You can resume most regular activities within 24 hours.
