If you’re looking for a minimally invasive way to improve your skin’s tone, texture, and overall appearance, microneedling may be the solution. This popular treatment stimulates your body’s natural healing response to rejuvenate the skin from within. At Barotz Dental, we also offer Microneedling with PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) for enhanced, natural-looking results.

What Is Microneedling with PRF?

Microneedling with PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) takes traditional microneedling to the next level. PRF is derived from a small sample of your own blood. After drawing the blood, it is spun in a centrifuge to separate the fibrin and platelets, which are rich in growth factors. These growth factors play a key role in tissue repair and regeneration.

During your treatment, PRF is applied to the skin and delivered deeper through the microchannels created by microneedling. This enhances healing, boosts collagen production, and supports more dramatic and longer-lasting improvements - all using your body’s natural biology.

Benefits of Microneedling with PRF may include:

• Faster healing and reduced downtime
• Improved skin texture and tone
• Enhanced collagen stimulation
• More noticeable reduction in fine lines and scars
• A natural glow and improved skin vitality

Because PRF comes from your own blood, it is biocompatible and safe, with minimal risk of allergic reaction.

What Happens Before Your Appointment?

Before your treatment, you’ll have a consultation to evaluate your skin concerns and determine whether microneedling with PRF is right for you.

You may be advised to:

• Avoid sun exposure before your appointment
• Stop using certain skincare products (like retinoids) several days prior
• Stay well hydrated
• If you are receiving PRF, a small blood draw will be performed at the start of your visit.

What to Expect During the Treatment

Your comfort is a priority. The process typically follows these steps:

• Cleansing and Preparation – Your skin will be thoroughly cleansed.
• Topical Numbing Cream – A numbing agent is applied to minimize discomfort.
• Microneedling with PRF – A specialized device creates precise microchannels in the skin, allowing PRF to be applied and absorbed more effectively during and immediately after the treatment to enhance healing and collagen production.

Most patients describe the sensation as mild pressure or light vibration. The procedure typically takes 45 to 60 minutes, depending on the treatment area.

What to Expect After Microneedling

Immediately after treatment, your skin may appear red - similar to a mild sunburn. You may also experience slight swelling or sensitivity for a day or two.

Typical recovery timeline:

• Day 1-2: Redness and mild sensitivity
• Day 3-4: Light flaking or dryness
• Within 1 week: Skin begins to look brighter and smoother
• Over several weeks: Continued collagen production improves firmness and texture

Most patients can return to normal activities within 24 hours, though you should avoid intense exercise, direct sun exposure, and harsh skincare products for a few days.
