Microneedling with PRF
Microneedling with PRF
Microneedling is a skin rejuvenating treatment that uses a small hand-held device with tiny needles that create microchannels or tiny holes in the skin’s surface. These microchannels immediately trigger the healing process, producing collagen and elastin in the deeper layers of the skin. Collagen production is crucial to our skin’s integrity. More collagen means a more youthful appearance. Microneedling improves the texture and firmness of the skin, and it reduces large pores, stretch marks, and treats acne scarring.
Platelet-Rich Fibrin, also known as PRF is an FDA-approved comprehensive therapy used to enhancing the natural healing process. In PRF, the patient’s own blood is dran, spun down in a centrifuge and the plasma isolated to use during the microneedling treatment. The plasma or “liquid gold” contains growth factors that promotes a fast recovery and better results.

Microneedling with PRF FAQ
What are the steps in a Microneedling treatment?
Is Microneedling with PRF painful?
How often should I schedule a Microneedling with PRF treatment?
A series of treatments two to four treatments spaced one month apart is recommended. Depending on your skin type and desired results, additional treatments may be needed. We recommend a skin health consultation with one of our experienced medical aestheticians to determine the best treatment plan for you.
Is there any downtime after Microneedling with PRF?
There is minimal downtime with a Microneedling with PRF treatment. It may feel like a light sunburn, with some redness and light peeling for around 3 days. For more aggressive treatments, mild redness and peeling may be experienced for 5 – 7 days. Keeping the skin hydrated will help with the healing time. We recommend avoiding heat, exercise, and sweating on the day of treatment. Sunscreen or makeup and be resumed the next day with a clean application.
How is PRF isolated for microneedling?
How long does microneedling with PRF last?
The results of microneedling with PRF can last for several months to a year, depending on individual factors such as your skin type, age, and lifestyle. This treatment stimulates collagen production and promotes natural skin regeneration, leading to lasting improvements in skin texture and firmness.
When it comes to acne scarring, microneedling with PRF can provide a permanent solution. The micro-injuries created during the procedure can effectively break up scar tissue and stimulate skin healing, resulting in smoother, scar-free skin over time. For optimal results and to maintain the overall rejuvenation of the skin, a series of treatments is typically recommended.

Is microneedling with PRF better than regular microneedling?
Microneedling with PRF is considered more effective than regular microneedling due to the addition of platelet-rich fibrin, which enhances the skin's natural healing process and stimulates more collagen production for improved results.
What is the difference between PRP and PRF?
PRF is basically the newer and better version of PRP. We like to think of PRF as PRP 2.0. The way the blood is processed in PRF vs PRP, more healing factors are generated, making the treatment more effective. The “liquid gold” is richer. PRF is also completely natural whereas PRP includes some additives or anti-coagulants. The absence of these extra additives in the PRF allows the PRF to steadily release the growth factors into the skin over a longer period of time, enhancing the results compared to regular PRP.

How Microneedling with PRF Works
Microneedling with PRF combines the benefits of traditional microneedling with the natural healing power of platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) to rejuvenate the skin.
The treatment begins with the creation of micro-channels in the skin using a specialized microneedling device with tiny needles. This stimulates the skin’s natural healing response and encourages the production of collagen and elastin.
The PRF, obtained from the patient’s own blood, is then applied to the treated area. Rich in growth factors and healing proteins, the PRF accelerates skin regeneration, enhances collagen production, and improves overall skin quality. With Arsenault Aesthetics’ skin care experts, you can achieve smoother, firmer, and more radiant skin through this advanced treatment.
What to Expect
At your microneedling with PRF appointment, your Arsenault Aesthetics skin specialist will begin by discussing your skin concerns and desired outcomes. A personalized treatment plan will be developed to address your unique needs and ensure optimal results.
Your skin will be thoroughly cleansed and a topical numbing cream may be applied to ensure your comfort during the procedure. Once the skin is prepared, your specialist will draw a small amount of blood to obtain the PRF. This blood sample will be processed in a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich fibrin.
Next, the microneedling device is gently moved across the skin, creating micro-channels that trigger the body’s natural healing response. The PRF is then applied topically to the treated area, allowing it to penetrate deeply and enhance the rejuvenation process.
Microneedling with PRF Treatment Types
Microneedling with PRF can help to reduce the appearance of enlarged pores by promoting collagen production and improving skin texture. This leads to a smoother, more refined complexion with less visible pores.
Microneedling with PRF can be used to address hair loss and thinning by stimulating the hair follicles and promoting blood circulation in the scalp. This encourages hair growth and improves overall hair density. Visit our PRF for hairloss page for more on PRF hairloss treatments.
