PRP Microneedling: Advanced Skincare Powered by You
Hamilton Aesthetics offers our clients an array of beauty treatments and services that encourage you to be confident and feel beautiful! With four nurse practitioners and a medical assistant on our team, we have over 40 years of combined experience. You can rest assured knowing your treatments are safe, effective, and long-lasting. One of our favorite treatments is PRP microneedling, also known as a vampire facial. This treatment helps your natural radiance shine by minimizing the appearance of sun spots, diminishing wrinkles and fine lines, and creating a glowing look.
What Are Microneedling & PRP?
Microneedling is a treatment that uses tiny needles to penetrate the top layer of the skin. By doing this, the skin will naturally begin its healing process, which stimulates collagen production, creating more elasticity in the treated areas. PRP, or platelet-rich plasma, is blood with a higher concentration of platelets, which helps with blood clotting and healing.
When microneedling and PRP are combined into one treatment, it creates a powerful result as they complement each other well. One of our skilled nurse practitioners will draw your blood, and it will then be placed in a tool to extract the PRP. After using the microneedling device to create small punctures in the skin, the PRP is added on top of the skin to further enhance the treatment.
While microneedling alone helps with stimulating collagen, adding PRP speeds up the healing process due to the proteins in the blood. PRP microneedling is a great option for those struggling with things like wrinkles and fine lines, stubborn hyperpigmentation and acne scars, skin discoloration, and medical scars. It can also help those who want firmer skin.
What Areas Does PRP Microneedling Treat?
PRP microneedling can treat a variety of areas that experience wrinkles or skin discoloration and help to lift the skin. This can include the face, where you may have signs of aging such as fine lines and wrinkles or even surgical scars. Hands can also be treated, especially since the skin is delicate and more prone to damage. We can also treat the neck, another delicate skin area, and the décolletage, which is the area right below the neckline.
What Are The Benefits of PRP Microneedling?
PRP microneedling has shown amazing results in enhancing the appearance of the skin. Say goodbye to old acne spots and firmly set wrinkles and hello to a smooth, clear face. Glowing benefits include:
Minimally Invasive
This treatment makes tiny punctures to the top layer of the skin and uses the PRP to enhance the healing process. With no incisions, it is considered a quick and easy outpatient treatment.
Fast Results
You will notice results within one to two weeks of treatment and will continue to see them as your skin heals and the collagen regenerates.
Treats Wrinkles
Wrinkles and fine lines will be a thing of the past after your PRP microneedling treatment. This treatment is perfect for a refreshed appearance.
Promotes Elasticity
PRP microneedling encourages the skin to boost its collagen production, which naturally slows down as we age. You’ll notice firmer, more supple skin after treatment.
Little to No Downtime
This treatment takes 30 to 60 minutes, and you are able to resume most normal routines right after your appointment. No need to take time away from work or other obligations!
Smooth Appearance
For those struggling with rough or bumpy skin texture, PRP microneedling can leave skin smoother, both visibly and to the touch.
The benefits of PRP microneedling speak for themselves. With over 40 years of combined experience, we are excited to help you realize your skin’s potential and help with your journey toward rejuvenation. Call us today to set up a consultation!

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to see results from PRP microneedling?
You may notice a slight improvement in your skin care concerns immediately after your treatment. However, it can take a few weeks for more noticeable results. Because collagen production is boosted, you will continue to notice visible improvement in your skin each week as it heals.
How many sessions are needed for optimal results?
The number of sessions needed depends on where your treatment areas are, the condition of your skin, and your desired goals. It can take 3-6 sessions to achieve optimal results, and this can take a few months to complete in order to space the sessions out for appropriate healing. Afterward, you may only need one or two sessions a year to maintain your skin.
Who is a good candidate for PRP microneedling?
PRP microneedling is generally safe and well-tolerated for most patients. However, there are some cases where you may not be a good candidate. You will want to consult with your doctors first if you are pregnant, have a blood disorder, have a chronic illness, have skin conditions like eczema or rosacea, or have an active acne breakout.
