Microneedling with PRP

Elevate your skin renewal to its highest level with Microneedling with PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma), often referred to as a Vampire or Plasma Facial, available at NORDA SKIN. This advanced treatment synergizes the collagen-inducing power of Microneedling with the regenerative potency of your body’s own growth factors. By reintroducing a concentrated biological serum directly into the skin, we unlock a superior level of healing, accelerating tissue repair, maximizing firmness, and achieving an unparalleled level of luminosity and refinement without synthetic fillers or harsh chemicals.

About Microneedling with PRP

Microneedling with PRP is a cutting-edge regenerative aesthetic treatment that significantly boosts the results of traditional Microneedling. The core principle involves using autologous (your own) blood components—specifically PRP—rich in essential growth factors. This nutrient-dense serum is applied topically during the Microneedling process, penetrating deep into the dermal channels. This service is best suited for individuals with more pronounced textural concerns, including deep acne scars, significant fine lines, sun damage, and general laxity, who desire accelerated and superior results. Clients can expect a dramatic improvement in skin density, elasticity, clarity, and overall texture, leading to a younger, healthier appearance that continually improves for months.

How it Works

The Technology

The procedure involves two distinct, critical steps:

  1. PRP Preparation: A small sample of the client’s blood is drawn. This blood is then processed in a specialized centrifuge device. The centrifuge spins the blood at high speed to separate the red blood cells from the clear plasma, yielding a super-concentrated serum of Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP), which holds 5-10 times the normal concentration of healing growth factors.

  2. Microneedling Infusion: The ultra-fine Microneedling device is then used to create precise micro-channels in the skin. Immediately following, the concentrated PRP serum is massaged or infused into these channels, allowing the potent growth factors to penetrate and supercharge the skin’s collagen production and cellular repair process.

Duration

The entire Microneedling with PRP appointment takes approximately 75 to 90 minutes. This includes the time needed for the blood draw, the 15-20 minutes required for the blood centrifugation process, and the application of numbing cream followed by the Microneedling infusion. For best regenerative results, a minimum of 3 sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart is typically recommended.

Results

Results are significantly enhanced compared to standard Microneedling. Initial skin radiance and glow are noticeable within days. However, the regenerative power peaks between 6 to 12 weeks post-treatment as the PRP-stimulated collagen matures. Clients typically observe superior firmness, deeper reduction of scars, and improved skin clarity. The collagen-building effects are durable and long-lasting, often sustained for over a year with a commitment to proper sun protection and skincare.

Safety and Comfort

Microneedling with PRP is considered one of the safest regenerative procedures available due to the use of autologous materials and our medical oversight.

Safety: Safety is exceptionally high because the key therapeutic ingredient (PRP) is sourced entirely from your own blood, eliminating the risk of allergic reaction, rejection, or transmission of disease. The procedure is performed under the sterile guidance of our medically trained staff, including strict adherence to single-use cartridges and clean processing of the blood sample. Minimal downtime is expected, typically just redness and slight swelling for 24–72 hours.

Comfort: Patient comfort is ensured through the application of a strong topical numbing cream before the Microneedling begins. While there is minor discomfort during the initial blood draw, the Microneedling portion is very tolerable, often described as a gentle, light scratching or vibrating sensation.

have a question?

Quick answers to questions you may have

Why is this treatment sometimes referred to as a Vampire facial?

This treatment is sometimes referred to as a ‘Vampire Facial’ because it involves using a patient’s own blood to create Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP), which is then applied to the skin during microneedling to support tissue regeneration. While the nickname is commonly used in popular media, the clinical term for the procedure is microneedling with PRP.

Why is PRP better than using a standard serum during Microneedling?

PRP contains up to ten times the concentration of natural human growth factors compared to standard serums. These growth factors are the biological messengers that command your cells to produce collagen, elastin, and repair tissue, leading to dramatically enhanced and accelerated results. 

What will my skin look like immediately after the treatment?

Your skin will look quite red, similar to a moderate to severe sunburn, and may feel tight or warm. Slight swelling is also common, especially the next morning. This acute redness usually subsides significantly within 24 hours. 

Is there any risk of an allergic reaction?
Since the PRP used for your treatment is derived 100% from your own blood, there is virtually no risk of an allergic or immune rejection response, making it one of the safest biological treatments available.

Meghann and her team are incredibly professional, knowledgeable and supportive from start to finish. It is very reassuring to have her consult with her medical director on treatment plans and to ensure all questions and any concerns are addressed. I felt confident in her suggestions and plan, and was even scheduled for a follow up check in. I’ve also had a facial service with Jenn and felt so pampered and relaxed. The environment is so calm and welcoming and I highly recommend this team to help take care of your skin’s needs.

I've been battling rosacea for a long time and had lost hope of getting any effective treatment - until I saw Meghann and Sarah. Thanks to their expertise and guidance, I've seen a dramatic improvement and could not be happier!

I had my first ever skin consult at Norda a month ago - I have my wedding coming up in less than 6 months and just wanted some insight what I could do to prep for it/address some of my concerns. Megann was SO informative, educated, and safe when it came to any procedures or options she was sharing with me. We ended up doing our first round of Neuromodulators/micro-needling and I had zero questions and full confidence in her by the time we were starting! Could not recommend her enough. My results this far are exactly what she explained would happen and I’m so happy with them!

Meghann took the time to explain all my options fully and completely. She listened to my full health overview and my concerns and connected some dots and a few things which will help my overall health, including my skin. What I really loved was the zero pressure environment. Meghann asked questions about my lifestyle and suggested other ways to start my program so that I could enjoy the summer outside. It was very clear in the thorough descriptions of products, services, and treatments with all pros and cons identified, that Meghann is a very qualified professional, and it also should be mentioned that she is down to earth, which makes it also fun to go to an appointment where needles may be involved! The environment is beautiful! The location easy to access and I would like to add, my husband had the misfortune of breaking his collarbone very badly on 2 occasions and it was Dr. Dowding, Meghann's husband who performed the second surgery with great success. The team are fantastic. Just what North Bay needs.
