Microneedling with PRFM in Tustin, CA
What Is Microneedling with PRF?
Microneedling uses a handheld device covered in very small, sterile needles that pierce the skin to a shallow depth, triggering your body's own regenerative processes. This results in newly created collagen and elastin — collagen gives your skin much of its bulk and structure, while elastin gives it that "snap back" effect when stretched. In the weeks following treatment, your skin goes through a healing process as your body creates new skin cells to replace old, damaged ones.
PRFM (platelet-rich fibrin matrix) is one of the newest forms of regenerative medicine, using your own blood to rejuvenate skin. On its own, PRF is a powerful skin rejuvenation treatment — but combined with microneedling, it becomes even more effective at revitalizing skin on multiple levels, promoting cellular repair and stimulating new collagen and elastin.
What to Expect
On the day of treatment, please arrive with no face makeup, as a topical numbing agent will be applied first. Next, your blood will be drawn to extract the PRFM. Once you're numbed and ready, your provider will carefully apply your PRF to the skin and pass the microneedling device over the treatment area — face or scalp for hair restoration — creating thousands of microscopic punctures that trigger your body's restorative processes.
Natural Rejuvenation with Microneedling & PRF FAQs — Tustin, CA
-
Most people return to work or normal activities right away. You may experience minor skin redness similar to a mild sunburn, which typically fades within a few hours to a day or two. Makeup can be worn to cover any redness or bruising after 24 hours.
-
We recommend a series of 3 treatments spaced 1 month apart for facial rejuvenation. For acne scars, we recommend 5 treatments. Maintenance is typically done every 6–12 months.
-
Most patients see signs of improvement after about 1 week. Since it takes collagen 4–6 weeks to form, many notice a more dramatic result at that point.
-
A topical numbing agent is applied before treatment, so most patients experience only mild discomfort — often described as a light scratching or vibrating sensation. Please arrive with no makeup on treatment day.
-
Yes. When used on the scalp, microneedling with PRFM can stimulate thicker hair growth by triggering the same regenerative, collagen-building process used for facial rejuvenation. Ask your provider whether this is a good option for your hair restoration goals.
-
Yes. Because PRF is made from your own blood, there's minimal risk of allergic reaction or rejection. It's a well-established, minimally invasive treatment used for facial rejuvenation, acne scarring, and hair restoration alike.
-
Most people looking to improve skin tone, texture, or fine lines are good candidates. It's not typically recommended for those who are pregnant, have active skin infections, or have certain bleeding disorders — your provider will confirm candidacy during your consultation.
