What is Microneedling and How Does It Work?
Microneedling, or collagen induction therapy, is a non-invasive treatment that uses tiny needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. These small punctures stimulate your body’s natural healing response, encouraging the production of collagen and elastin which are the two key components responsible for skin’s firmness, texture, and elasticity.
At LUX A Medical Spa, we use state-of-the-art microneedling technology to treat a variety of common skin concerns such as:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Acne scars and hyperpigmentation
- Uneven skin tone and texture
- Enlarged pores
- Stretch marks
While microneedling is incredibly effective on its own, we’ve taken it to the next level by combining it with PRP therapy to deliver even more dramatic and lasting results.
What is PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) Therapy?
PRP therapy is a treatment that uses your own blood to harness the healing power of platelets and growth factors. During the procedure, a small amount of your blood is drawn and processed in a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich plasma. This concentrated serum is then applied to your skin or injected into targeted areas, encouraging cell regeneration and collagen production.
At LUX A Medical Spa, we pride ourselves on using PRP because it is derived from your own body, making it a completely natural and safe treatment option with minimal risk of side effects. It works by rejuvenating the skin from within, helping to heal and repair damaged tissues while improving texture, tone, and elasticity.
Why Combine PRP with Microneedling for Aesthetic Rejuvenation?
When PRP is combined with microneedling, the results are extraordinary. Here’s why this powerful combination is one of the most effective aesthetic treatments for skin rejuvenation:
- Enhanced Collagen Production:
Microneedling creates tiny channels in the skin, stimulating collagen production. When PRP is applied immediately after microneedling, the growth factors in the PRP serum accelerate the healing process and boost collagen production even further. This leads to smoother, firmer skin and improved skin texture over time. - Deeper Penetration and Maximum Effectiveness:
The tiny channels created by microneedling allow for deeper absorption of PRP. This means the growth factors in the PRP serum penetrate deeper into the skin, targeting the underlying layers more effectively for maximum rejuvenation and healing. - Faster Healing and Minimal Downtime:
While microneedling can cause mild redness and swelling, the addition of PRP speeds up the healing process. At LUX A Medical Spa, we find that patients experience quicker recovery times, making it an ideal option for those with busy schedules who want effective results with minimal downtime. - Natural, Long-Lasting Results:
Because PRP uses your body’s own natural healing properties, the results appear more natural and last longer. Combined with microneedling’s ability to stimulate the skin’s regeneration process, the treatment provides a refreshed, youthful appearance with long-lasting effects. - Targets Multiple Skin Concerns:
PRP with microneedling is an incredibly versatile treatment that can address multiple skin concerns at once. Whether you’re looking to reduce fine lines, improve skin texture, diminish acne scars, or tighten sagging skin, this combination treatment targets all of these issues with remarkable effectiveness.

What to Expect During and After Your PRP Microneedling Treatment at LUX A Medical Spa
During your PRP with microneedling treatment at LUX A Medical Spa in Hilton Head or Bluffton, SC, our experienced aesthetic professionals will begin by drawing a small amount of blood to create the PRP serum. Then, we’ll use a microneedling device to create micro-injuries in the skin, which will be followed by the application of the PRP serum to maximize absorption and enhance results.
While the procedure is minimally invasive, you may experience some mild redness, swelling, or slight discomfort, which typically resolves within a few hours to a few days. Most patients can return to normal activities the following day with refreshed, glowing skin.
How Many Sessions Do You Need?
For optimal results, we recommend 3 to 4 PRP microneedling sessions, spaced about 4 to 6 weeks apart. Many patients see noticeable improvements after just one session, but the full benefits are often seen after a series of treatments. After your initial treatment plan, we suggest maintenance sessions every 6 months to maintain the best possible results.
