What is Microneedling with PRP?
Microneedling with PRP is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that uses a device equipped with fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. These micro-injuries stimulate the body’s natural healing response, triggering the production of collagen and elastin, which are essential for maintaining skin elasticity and firmness. Additionally, PRP, derived from the patient’s blood and rich in growth factors, is applied to the skin during the microneedling process to further enhance skin rejuvenation and promote tissue regeneration. The experienced dermatologists at Snyder Dermatology use specialized microneedling devices to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin, allowing for better absorption of the PRP solution. The result is smoother, firmer, and more radiant skin with minimal downtime and natural-looking results.
Who Is a Candidate for Microneedling with PRP?
Candidates for Microneedling with PRP seek to improve their skin’s overall texture, tone, and appearance. This treatment is ideal for addressing a variety of concerns, including fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, enlarged pores, uneven skin tone, and mild skin laxity. Microneedling with PRP is suitable for all skin types and tones, making it a versatile option for patients with diverse aesthetic goals.
Benefits of Microneedling with PRP
Microneedling with PRP offers benefits including the following:
Collagen Stimulation: Microneedling with PRP stimulates the production of collagen and elastin in the skin, leading to improved skin texture, firmness, and elasticity.
Reduced Signs of Aging: Microneedling with PRP can reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and other signs of aging by promoting cellular turnover and skin regeneration.
Improved Skin Tone and Texture: This treatment can help minimize the appearance of acne scars, hyperpigmentation, enlarged pores, and uneven skin tone, resulting in smoother, more evenly toned skin.
Minimal Downtime: While some redness and swelling may occur immediately following treatment, downtime is typically minimal, allowing patients to resume their normal activities shortly afterward.
Long-Lasting results: With a series of treatments, patients can enjoy long-lasting improvements in the appearance and quality of their skin.
Microneedling with PRP Treatment
During the Microneedling with PRP treatment at Snyder Dermatology, a small amount of blood is drawn from the patient and processed to isolate the platelet-rich plasma (PRP). Meanwhile, the skin is cleansed and numbed with a topical anesthetic to ensure comfort during the procedure. The PRP is then applied to the skin and absorbed through the microchannels created by the microneedling device. The entire treatment takes about 30 to 60 minutes to complete, depending on the size of the treatment area.

Dr. Snyder and Jenn are amazing! I have had two services with Dr. Snyder and highly recommend him for any plastic surgery needs. Jennifer and Kalli are great too. His entire staff made me feel welcomed and were friendly and responsive. If you are looking for a plastic surgeon- go see Dr. Ned Snyder. His bedside manner and personality are a 10!

Dr. Parker has been my dermatologist for years, and she is terrific. She saw my 14-year-old for the first time yesterday yesterday, and was very thorough, knowledgeable, and kind. She guided her through a skin care routine, and gave her lots of tips about keeping her skin fresh. We feel so lucky to know Dr. Parker.
