Microneedling with Platelet Rich Plasma
Rejuvenate Naturally—Harness Your Body’s Healing Power with Microneedling and PRP.
At Biosymmetry Wilmington in Wilmington, NC, we combine the power of advanced microneedling with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy to deliver remarkable skin rejuvenation results. Often referred to as the “vampire facial,” this treatment uses your body’s own platelets and growth factors to repair damaged skin, smooth fine lines, and improve overall tone and texture. The combination of PRP and microneedling enhances collagen production, accelerates healing, and promotes a radiant, youthful complexion—naturally.


What Is Microneedling with Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)?
Microneedling with PRP is a regenerative skincare treatment that enhances traditional microneedling with the healing and growth-promoting properties of platelet-rich plasma. PRP is derived from a small sample of your own blood, which is processed to concentrate platelets and growth factors that stimulate tissue repair and collagen production.
When applied during microneedling, PRP penetrates deep into the microchannels created by the device, amplifying the skin’s natural renewal process. The result is smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin with improved tone, texture, and elasticity.
How Microneedling with Platelet-Rich Plasma Works
Your Microneedling with PRP treatment begins with a simple blood draw. The blood is then spun in a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich plasma from the red and white blood cells. Meanwhile, a microneedling device creates tiny microchannels in the skin’s surface, stimulating collagen production and enhancing the absorption of the PRP.
The concentrated PRP is then applied to the treated area, where its powerful growth factors go to work—accelerating healing, improving skin texture, and boosting cell regeneration. Most treatments take about 45–60 minutes, and downtime is minimal. Within a few days, you’ll notice a natural glow, with continued improvement as collagen remodeling occurs over several weeks.

FAQ
FAQs
Answers to your frequently asked questions.
What makes PRP microneedling different from traditional microneedling?
While both treatments stimulate collagen production, PRP microneedling amplifies the results using your body’s own healing factors, enhancing skin renewal and speeding recovery.
How many treatments will I need?
Most patients see noticeable improvement after one session, but a series of 3–4 treatments spaced about a month apart delivers the best, long-lasting results.

Downtime is minimal. You may experience mild redness or sensitivity for 24–48 hours, similar to a light sunburn. Most patients resume normal activities within a day.
