Ideal candidates for microneedling and PRP include individuals looking to improve their skin texture, reduce fine lines, and address concerns such as acne scars or enlarged pores. This treatment is effective for various skin types, including: Normal skin: Those with balanced skin texture can benefit greatly from enhanced collagen production. Oily skin: Individuals with oily or acne-prone skin can see improvements in scarring and overall skin texture. Dry skin: Microneedling can help alleviate dryness and improve hydration levels. Combination skin: Suitable for those with multiple skin concerns across different areas of the face. However, there are individuals who may not be ideal candidates for microneedling, including: Those with active skin infections or conditions: If you have conditions like eczema, psoriasis, or dermatitis, it’s best to wait until the skin has healed. Pregnant or nursing women: Hormonal changes can affect skin responses, so it’s typically advised to avoid treatments during this time. Individuals with certain medical conditions: Those with a history of keloid scarring, uncontrolled diabetes, or blood clotting disorders should consult with your VanityMD provider before proceeding. Patients on certain medications: Some medications, especially those that affect skin healing or blood clotting, may contraindicate microneedling. Book a consultation with one of our expert providers at VanityMD to determine if microneedling is right for you based on your specific skin type and health history.

For traditional (pen) or radiofrequency microneedling typically takes about 1 hour. PRP Microneedling usually takes about 1.5 to 2 hours and can be customized based on individual skin concerns. Typically, a series of 3 to 5 sessions is recommended, spaced about 4 to 6 weeks apart, to achieve optimal results. The long-term benefits include sustained skin tightening, improved texture, and a reduction in the signs of aging, helping you maintain a youthful appearance for years to come.
