The practice of Midlothian, VA, cosmetic surgeon Matthew Bridges, MD, FACS, offers a cutting-edge procedure known as PRP microneedling, an alternative to cosmetic facial surgery. PRP microneedling pairs platelet-rich plasma (PRP) with microneedling to rejuvenate your skin.

What can PRP Miicroneedling Treat?

This minimally invasive procedure can be used to treat the following:

Acne scars
Fine lines
Hyperpigmentation
Large pores
Sun damage
Surgical scars
Uneven skin texture
Wrinkles

Coupling PRP with microneedling can boost skin renewal and speed up the recovery process.

How It Works

PRP microneedling combines two powerful skin rejuvenation techniques: microneedling and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy. First, microneedling uses tiny needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin, stimulating collagen production and skin repair. Then, PRP, derived from your own blood and rich in growth factors, is applied to the skin.

The microchannels created by microneedling allow the PRP to penetrate deeply, accelerating healing, boosting collagen production, and enhancing overall skin rejuvenation for smoother, firmer, and more radiant skin.

A PRP microneedling procedure in Richmond, VA, at our clinic generally lasts approximately 45 to 60 minutes. After the treatment, you'll be able to head home or return to work immediately.

What to Expect After the Treatment

After PRP microneedling, you can expect some redness and mild swelling, similar to a sunburn, which usually subsides within 1-2 days. The skin may feel tight, dry, and slightly sensitive as it heals, with some flaking or peeling occurring over the following days. You should avoid direct sun exposure and wear sunscreen to protect the healing skin.

While the initial redness will fade within a few days, collagen production will continue over the next few weeks, leading to a smoother, firmer, and more radiant complexion. Most people notice significant improvement within a few days, with full results visible after several weeks.

Expected Results

Several PRP microneedling treatments may be needed to achieve ideal results. Don’t worry if it takes several weeks to see results—it takes time for your body to generate more collagen. If you're being treated for acne scars, you may notice results in nine months or less.

The results of PRP microneedling typically last between six and 12 months, depending on factors such as your skin type, age, and skincare routine. Many patients choose to undergo periodic maintenance treatments to prolong the effects and maintain their rejuvenated skin. Regular treatments can help sustain collagen production and long-term improvements in skin texture and tone.
