Microneedling with PRP
Microneedling with PRP combines advanced technology with your body’s natural healing process to rejuvenate your skin. At Aesthetic Avenue in La Cañada Flintridge, CA, this treatment helps to improve skin texture, tone, and overall appearance, offering a radiant and youthful complexion without surgery.
What is Microneedling with PRP?
Microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure that uses tiny 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—proteins essential for firm, smooth skin. When combined with PRP, which is derived from your own blood and rich in growth factors, the treatment becomes even more effective. PRP accelerates healing, reduces inflammation, and enhances the overall results, leaving your skin glowing and revitalized.
What are the Benefits of Microneedling with PRP?
- Improved Skin Texture and Tone: Microneedling with PRP can significantly improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and acne scars, resulting in smoother, more even skin.
- Natural-Looking Results: The treatment works by enhancing your skin’s natural ability to repair itself, providing subtle yet noticeable improvements.
- Minimized Pore Size: Microneedling can help reduce the appearance of large pores, giving your skin a more refined, polished look.
- Safe for All Skin Types: This procedure is suitable for a variety of skin types and tones, making it a versatile option for many patients.
- Minimal Downtime: While some redness and swelling may occur post-treatment, most patients can return to their normal activities within a day or two.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Microneedling with PRP?

What to Expect During Your Treatment
During your Microneedling with PRP session at Aesthetic Avenue, we will draw a small amount of your blood, process it to extract the platelet-rich plasma, and then apply it to your skin. A microneedling device creates tiny channels to help the PRP penetrate deeply. The procedure typically lasts 60 to 90 minutes, with a topical numbing cream applied to ensure comfort.
