Microneedling with PRP: Benefits & Recovery

Have you ever wanted to start fresh with your skin? If you’re struggling with acne scars, fine lines, or a dull complexion that won’t go away, we know how disappointing it is when store-bought creams don’t work. At Glow Aesthetics, we use your body’s natural ability to bring back your glow. That’s what Microneedling with PRP, also known as the “Vampire Facial,” is designed to do.

Led by our founder, Karen O’Laughlin, CRNA, MSN, our Greensboro team blends medical skill with a love for great results. We’re here to guide you through your skin care journey so you feel confident and comfortable.

Microneedling with PRP: How It Works to Transform Your Skin

To see why this treatment works so well, let’s look at the two key parts of the process:

• Microneedling: We use a professional device to make thousands of tiny, controlled channels in your skin. This starts your body’s natural healing process and helps produce new collagen and elastin.
• PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma): We take a small sample of your blood, use a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets, and then apply it to your skin.

When we add PRP, your skin gets a boost of growth factors. These proteins signal your cells to repair and renew themselves more quickly than with microneedling alone.

The Benefits: Why Choose Microneedling with PRP?

Traditional treatments like IPL or chemical peels are great for surface concerns, but Microneedling with PRP works deeper. Here’s why our North Carolina patients choose it:

• Smoother Texture: Helps reduce large pores and uneven skin.
• Acne Scar Reduction: This treatment is highly effective at breaking up scar tissue and filling in uneven areas.
• Improved Tone: It helps fade dark spots and gives your skin a more even, healthy look.
• Faster Healing: Since PRP uses your own healing cells, recovery time is much shorter than with traditional deep-resurfacing treatments.

What to Expect During Your Microneedling with PRP Treatment

We want you to feel at ease as soon as you arrive at our New Garden Road office. Here’s what will happen during your visit:

1. Preparation: We’ll apply a medical numbing cream so the treatment is comfortable for you.
2. The Draw: While the numbing cream takes effect, we’ll draw a small amount of blood, similar to a routine lab test, to prepare your PRP.
3. The Procedure: We gently move the microneedling device over your skin and apply the PRP so it can reach deep into the new channels.
4. Recovery & Aftercare: Your skin may look a little red, like a mild sunburn, when you leave. For the first 24 hours, keep your skin clean and avoid makeup. Most people return to their normal routine by day three, enjoying a fresh, healthy glow.

Enjoy Your Renewed Skin

Is Microneedling with PRP right for you? It’s a great option for most people who want a natural, non-surgical way to improve their skin. If you have an active skin infection or certain blood conditions, we may suggest another treatment instead.

At Glow Aesthetics, we know everyone’s skin is different. We’ll work with you to create a plan that fits your needs.
