Platelet-rich plasma, or PRP, is concentrated from your own blood through a centrifugation process that separates platelets from red blood cells. The resulting plasma contains growth factors at concentrations three to five times higher than those found in whole blood. When applied to the micro-channels created by microneedling, PRP is absorbed directly into the dermis where its growth factors signal fibroblasts to produce collagen, elastin, and new tissue at an accelerated rate.

At Superior Health Medical and Wellness, Dr. Akers performs microneedling with PRP as a complete protocol beginning with the blood draw and PRP preparation, followed by microneedling with PRP applied topically during the procedure and, when appropriate, injected intradermally for maximum depth of penetration. The combination produces significantly greater collagen stimulation than microneedling alone and is particularly effective for patients with significant skin laxity, deep scarring, or skin quality concerns that have not responded adequately to standard treatments.

Microneedling with PRP Services What We Provide

From the full microneedling and PRP combination protocol to PRP-enhanced scar treatment and facial rejuvenation, Dr. Akers offers comprehensive PRP-amplified skin therapy at Superior Health. Explore the services below.

The complete facial microneedling with PRP protocol begins with a blood draw, PRP centrifugation, and facial cleansing and numbing. Microneedling is performed with PRP applied to the skin throughout the procedure to be carried into the micro-channels as they are created. An additional layer of PRP is applied at the end of the treatment and massaged in during the immediate post-procedure window when absorption is maximized.
For patients seeking maximum depth of PRP delivery, Dr. Akers performs intradermal PRP injection with a fine needle after the microneedling passes, placing the concentrated growth factors directly into the dermis rather than relying solely on topical absorption through micro-channels. This technique provides a more targeted, deeper delivery of growth factors and is recommended for patients with significant skin laxity, deep scarring, or collagen loss.
Combining PRP with microneedling dramatically enhances the scar remodeling effect compared to microneedling alone. The concentrated growth factors in PRP accelerate the inflammatory and proliferative phases of wound healing in the treated scars, producing faster and more significant improvement in scar depth, texture, and color. Most patients with moderate to severe acne scarring require four to six combined treatments for optimal results.
The undereye area responds exceptionally well to PRP therapy, which stimulates collagen in the thin, delicate periocular skin and can improve the appearance of dark circles caused by skin thinning and underlying vascularity. Dr. Akers uses microneedling with PRP in the periocular area with appropriate depth adjustments for the delicate skin of the lower eyelid and tear trough region.
The neck and chest skin is typically thin and responsive to PRP-enhanced microneedling, often showing dramatic improvement in crepiness, fine lines, and overall skin quality after a series of treatments. Adding PRP to neck and decolletage microneedling accelerates the collagen response in skin that has had fewer treatments over its lifetime and responds well to growth factor stimulation.
The full benefit of microneedling with PRP is realized over a series of three to six treatments spaced four to six weeks apart, followed by maintenance treatments every four to six months. Dr. Akers designs your series based on your specific concerns and skin type, and uses your response to each treatment to guide the timing and intensity of subsequent sessions in the series.
Why It Matters Growth Factors That
Change Everything
Microneedling with PRP results at Superior Health Medical
01 PRP Is Your Own Biology, Concentrated

PRP contains no foreign substances. It is your own platelet-rich plasma, processed and returned to your skin in concentrated form. There is no risk of allergic reaction or rejection. The growth factors it delivers are the same ones your body uses naturally for wound healing and tissue repair, just in quantities that produce a more significant and accelerated regenerative response.

02 The Combination Produces Results Neither Treatment Achieves Alone

Microneedling without PRP stimulates collagen through the wound healing response. PRP injected without microneedling delivers growth factors but relies on the body's own injury response. Together, microneedling creates the channels and the injury signal, and PRP floods those channels with concentrated growth factors at the exact moment the tissue is primed to respond. The result is synergistic, not additive.

03 Results Continue Developing for Months After Treatment

The growth factors in PRP continue stimulating fibroblast activity for weeks after treatment, and the collagen produced continues maturing and remodeling for three to six months per treatment session. Patients who complete a series of three to six treatments are still seeing ongoing improvement six months after their final session as the collagen from each treatment matures.

The Science of PRP What Platelet-Rich Plasma
Actually Does

Platelets are blood cells whose primary role is to initiate clotting at wound sites, but they also contain alpha granules filled with growth factors including platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), insulin-like growth factor (IGF), and epidermal growth factor (EGF). When platelets are activated, they release these growth factors into the local tissue environment.

PRP is prepared by drawing a small amount of blood, typically 15 to 30 milliliters, and centrifuging it to separate the platelets from red blood cells and plasma. The resulting platelet-rich layer is collected and may be activated before application to trigger immediate growth factor release. The platelet concentration in PRP is typically three to five times higher than in whole blood, producing a growth factor concentration that significantly exceeds the body's natural response to a wound of comparable size.

When PRP is applied to microneedled skin, the micro-channels allow the concentrated growth factors to penetrate into the dermis where fibroblasts are located. The fibroblasts respond to the elevated growth factor concentration by increasing collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid production well beyond what the wound healing response from microneedling alone would produce. This is the amplification effect that makes the combination so powerful.

Your Appointment The Microneedling With
PRP Experience

Your appointment begins with a blood draw followed by 30 to 45 minutes of topical numbing while the blood is being processed in the centrifuge. Microneedling is then performed with the freshly prepared PRP applied throughout and massaged into the treated skin at the end of the session. The entire appointment takes approximately 90 minutes.

Post-treatment redness and swelling are typically more pronounced than with standard microneedling and may last 48 to 72 hours. This is a sign of the enhanced healing response, not a complication. Most patients describe the immediate post-treatment skin as glowing and dewy as the PRP begins working. Results are visible earlier than with microneedling alone, with initial improvement often noticeable within one to two weeks.

Standard microneedling stimulates collagen production through the wound healing response triggered by the micro-injuries. Adding PRP floods those micro-channels with concentrated growth factors from your own blood, dramatically amplifying the collagen-stimulating signal. The combination produces significantly greater improvement in skin firmness, texture, and scar appearance, with results that develop faster and last longer than microneedling alone.
Because PRP is derived from your own blood, there is no risk of allergic reaction, rejection, or disease transmission. The treatment uses sterile technique throughout the blood draw and processing. Infection risk is the same as with standard microneedling and is very low when performed in a clinical setting with proper protocol, as at Superior Health Medical and Wellness.
Most patients achieve significant improvement after three to six combined treatments spaced four to six weeks apart. The exact number depends on your skin concerns and goals. Dr. Akers evaluates your skin and gives a realistic treatment plan at your consultation, with reassessment after each session to determine whether additional treatments would provide meaningful additional benefit.
Yes. Microneedling with PRP does not involve any sedation or anesthetic that would impair your ability to drive. You will be able to drive yourself home after your treatment. You will have redness and possibly mild swelling, so some patients prefer to have someone with them, but it is not medically necessary.
Initial improvement is often visible within one to two weeks as the PRP growth factors accelerate the early healing response. Continued improvement develops over three to six months as the new collagen matures. Full results from a treatment series are typically appreciated four to six months after the final session, by which time the cumulative collagen production from each treatment has fully matured.
