Mirconeedling + PRP
As a person ages, it’s typical for his or her face to change shape and lose volume. Cheeks can begin to droop, and creases may appear on either side of the nose, making the person look older than they feel. In the past, the common solution for this has been a surgical facelift. Now with Microneedling + PRP, you can have this done non-invasively and for a fraction of the cost!
Mirconeedling + PRP (platelet-rich plasma). The PRP can improve your skin’s overall glow by using healing and growth properties inside your own blood. The result is glowing, firmer, and more voluminous skin for a youthful and rejuvenated appearance.
How Does Microneedling + PRP Work?
The key ingredient is the platelet-rich fibrin matrix derived from your own blood. This element, when mixed with other ingredients, creates a natural serum that boosts collagen blood supply and can assist in skin regrowth and fatty tissue regeneration.
Our technician will draw the blood from your arm and separate the platelets from the rest of the blood by using a centrifuge. This machine spins very quickly to separate fluids of different densities. Once the PRP is acquired, it will be injected into the desired areas.
You can see results from the PRP after 2-3 weeks.
The treatment takes 1 to 2 hours with minimal downtime. If you’re comfortable with redness, you can return to work the next day. Some patients may require more than 1 treatment depending on their desired results. Results typically last 12 to 18 months.

The Process
Once our technician has met with you to discuss if the Microneedling + PRP is right for you, we will schedule your appointment. Here is what to expect:
A Bella Luce board-certified injector will clean your skin and apply a topical numbing cream.
While the numbing cream sinks in she will draw a small amount of blood from your arm.
The blood will go into a centrifuge to separate the PRP from the rest of the blood.
Once this is complete she will inject the dermal filler (if needed) targeting areas with deep creases or wrinkles. After this, the PRP will be injected back into the face.
Side effects should be pretty minimal and may include some swelling, itching, bruising, tingling, or a slight burning sensation.
