Restore smoother, healthier skin with your body’s own regenerative potential. PRF microneedling at Burchhardt Facial Plastic Surgery combines the proven collagen-stimulating benefits of SkinPen® microneedling with the regenerative properties of platelet-rich fibrin (PRF). Together, these therapies support smoother texture, improved tone, enhanced skin quality, and naturally refreshed results with minimal downtime. For patients seeking a more regenerative approach to skin rejuvenation, PRF enhances traditional microneedling by delivering your body’s own natural growth factors directly to the treated skin.
Enhance Skin Renewal with Regenerative Medicine
PRF microneedling combines two complementary treatments to promote healthier, more youthful-looking skin. SkinPen® microneedling creates thousands of precise microchannels that activate your body’s natural collagen production, while PRF – derived from a small sample of blood – is applied during treatment to deliver a concentrated source of platelets, fibrin, white blood cells, and growth factors directly to the skin. This regenerative approach helps support collagen remodeling, improve skin quality, promote tissue recovery, and enhance the overall results of microneedling. Over time, skin becomes smoother, firmer, brighter, and more even in tone and texture.
PRF microneedling may improve:
- Fine lines and early wrinkles
- Uneven skin texture and roughness
- Enlarged or visible pores
- Acne scars and mild scarring
- Dull or lackluster skin tone
- Crepey skin
- Under-eye skin quality
- Overall skin quality
PRF vs. PRP – what is the difference?
Both PRP (platelet-rich plasma) and PRF (platelet-rich fibrin) use components derived from your own blood to support skin rejuvenation. PRF is prepared without anticoagulants and processed at a lower centrifugation speed, creating a fibrin matrix that allows growth factors to be released more gradually than PRP.
This sustained release may support longer-lasting collagen production and tissue regeneration, making PRF an excellent complement to microneedling for many patients.
Benefits of PRF microneedling:
- Uses your body’s own regenerative growth factors
- Supports sustained collagen production over time
- Enhances skin healing and tissue regeneration
- Improves texture, tone, and overall skin quality
- Refines enlarged pores
- Helps soften fine lines and early wrinkles
- Safe for delicate areas, including under the eyes
PRF Microneedling FAQs
How does microneedling with PRF work?
SkinPen® microneedling creates controlled microchannels in the skin, stimulating your body’s natural healing response. PRF is then applied during treatment, allowing regenerative growth factors to penetrate the skin through these channels. Together, these treatments support collagen remodeling, improve skin quality, and promote healthier, more resilient skin over time.
Who is a good candidate for microneedling with PRF?
Microneedling with PRF is an excellent option for men and women seeking a more natural approach to skin rejuvenation. It is commonly recommended for improving fine lines, acne scars, enlarged pores, uneven texture, sun damage, and early signs of skin aging. During your consultation, we will determine whether microneedling with PRF is the most appropriate treatment for your goals.
How many treatments will I need?
For most patients, a series of three to four treatments spaced approximately four to six weeks apart provides the best results. The exact number depends on your skin quality, concerns, and aesthetic goals.
When will I see the results?
Many patients notice healthier, more radiant skin within the first week after treatment. As collagen remodeling continues, improvements in texture, firmness, and overall skin quality develop over the following weeks and become even more noticeable after a series of treatments.
Is there downtime?
Most patients experience redness similar to a mild sunburn for 24 to 72 hours, along with mild swelling or skin sensitivity. Some dryness or light flaking may occur as the skin renews. Most patients return to normal activities within one to two days.
