How PRP Microneedling Works
PRP Microneedling at MD MedSpa is a minimally invasive treatment that combines two powerful techniques to help you achieve healthier, smoother, and more youthful-looking skin — by activating your body’s own natural healing and rejuvenation process.
What is PRP Microneedling?
This innovative treatment brings together two complementary approaches:
Microneedling: A precision device creates microscopic channels in the skin, triggering the body’s natural healing response and stimulating collagen production.
PRP therapy: Platelet-Rich Plasma — drawn from your own blood and rich in growth factors — is applied directly to the treated areas to accelerate repair and renewal.
Together, these techniques work in synergy to boost collagen and elastin production, improve skin texture, and speed up the skin renewal process significantly more than either treatment alone.
How PRP Microneedling Works
At MD MedSpa in Redmond, WA, we are dedicated to helping you achieve healthier, younger-looking skin through PRP Microneedling, a cutting-edge, minimally invasive treatment that combines microneedling with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy. This powerful combination promotes collagen production, which helps to improve skin texture, firmness, and radiance.
Microneedling with PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) combines the benefits of traditional microneedling with the healing power of your body’s own platelets. As a result of this treatment, tiny channels are created in the skin by a device with fine needles, stimulating collagen production and encouraging skin rejuvenation.

Why choose PRP Microneedling?
- Superior skin rejuvenation
- Faster healing and recovery
- Firmer, brighter skin
- Better scar and wrinkle results
- Uses your own plasma — no foreign substances
What sets PRP apart is the addition of platelet-rich plasma, extracted from your blood and applied to the treated areas. This PRP contains growth factors that accelerate healing and enhance the effects of microneedling, improving skin texture, reducing wrinkles, and addressing scars or pigmentation issues. Unlike regular microneedling, which relies solely on the body’s natural healing process, Microneedling with PRP maximizes results by boosting the skin’s repair and regeneration abilities, offering more significant improvements in skin tone and texture.
