Microneedling + PRF
Microneedling + PRF
Microneedling + PRF pairs two regenerative treatments to support smoother, healthier-looking skin. Microneedling creates controlled microchannels that encourage the skin's natural renewal process, while Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF), created from a small sample of your own blood, delivers concentrated platelets and growth factors to support healing and rejuvenation.
Treatment Duration: 60–75 minutes
Treatment Area: Face · Neck · Décolletage
Frequently Asked Questions
Your treatment begins with a small blood draw. The blood is processed in a centrifuge to isolate the platelet-rich fibrin. Microneedling is then performed to create controlled microchannels in the skin, and PRF is incorporated into the treatment to complement your skin's natural healing response.
Microneedling already encourages the skin's natural renewal process. Adding PRF incorporates your own platelets and growth factors into the treatment, creating a personalized approach to skin rejuvenation.
The combination may help improve the appearance of fine lines, uneven texture, acne scars, dullness, and overall skin quality.
A topical numbing agent is typically applied before microneedling to help keep you comfortable. You may still feel light pressure, vibration, or sensitivity during treatment, particularly in more delicate areas.
Some downtime should be expected. Your skin may appear red and feel warm or sensitive immediately afterward, similar to a mild sunburn. Mild swelling, dryness, or flaking may also occur as your skin heals.
Your VIVO provider will give you specific aftercare instructions and let you know when to resume your normal skincare routine.
You may notice an initial refreshed appearance as your skin heals, but the benefits of microneedling develop gradually. Improvements in texture and overall skin quality can continue over the following weeks as your skin goes through its natural renewal process.
Your ideal treatment plan depends on your skin, concerns, and goals. Some patients may benefit from a series of treatments spaced several weeks apart, followed by maintenance treatments as recommended by their provider.
At VIVO, we'll create a treatment schedule specifically for your skin rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach.
Microneedling can be used to improve the appearance of certain acne scars by encouraging skin remodeling. Adding PRF may complement the skin's healing response.
Your provider will assess the type and severity of your scarring to determine whether this treatment is appropriate for you.
Both PRF and PRP are created from your own blood, but they're processed differently. PRF is prepared using a method that creates a fibrin-rich concentrate containing platelets and growth factors. Your provider can explain why PRF is being used as part of your VIVO treatment plan.
