What Is Microneedling with PRP?
Microneedling with PRP, also known as the “vampire facial,” is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that combines microneedling with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy to enhance skin rejuvenation. Barbara Kulik, MSN, FNP-BC, NP-C uses a device with fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries on the skin’s surface, stimulating the body’s natural collagen production and healing processes. PRP, derived from a small sample of your blood, is rich in growth factors and is applied to the skin during or after microneedling to accelerate tissue repair and regeneration. This powerful combination helps improve skin texture, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, diminish acne scars, and promote a more youthful and radiant complexion.
How Does Microneedling with PRP Work?
When you visit Barbara Kulik, MSN, FNP-BC, NP-C at Hermosa Heights Aesthetics & Wellness, the process begins with a thorough consultation to assess your skin and discuss your goals. During the treatment, Barbara first draws a small sample of your blood, which is then processed in a centrifuge to isolate the PRP. Next, she uses a microneedling device to create tiny, controlled micro-injuries on the surface of your skin, stimulating collagen production. The PRP is then applied to the treated areas, where the growth factors penetrate deeply to accelerate healing and boost rejuvenation. The procedure typically takes about 60 minutes, with minimal discomfort and downtime, leading to smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin.
