About Microneedling with PRP
Treatment Definition
Microneedling with PRP (platelet-rich plasma) is a non-surgical skin rejuvenation procedure that combines controlled micro-injuries from fine needles with topically applied growth factors derived from the patient's own blood. The microneedling device creates thousands of microscopic channels in the skin, while PRP accelerates tissue repair and collagen synthesis within those channels.
How It Works at My Aesthetic Doctor
Dr. Fakhre draws a small blood sample and processes it in a centrifuge to isolate the platelet-rich plasma fraction. This concentrated PRP contains growth factors including PDGF, TGF-beta, and VEGF that signal fibroblasts to produce new collagen and elastin.
The microneedling device then creates precise micro-channels at calibrated depths. My Aesthetic Doctor applies the PRP directly onto the treated skin, allowing growth factors to penetrate into the dermal layer where they amplify the body's healing response.

Microneedling with PRP Treatment Areas
Treatment Areas
My Aesthetic Doctor uses Microneedling with PRP to improve:
- Face -- reduces fine lines, acne scars, enlarged pores, and uneven texture
- Neck and decolletage -- addresses sun damage and crepey skin
- Hands -- improves thinning skin and age spots
- Scalp -- stimulates hair follicle activity for hair restoration
Treatment Parameters
Dr. Fakhre adjusts needle depth based on the treatment area and concern. Facial treatments typically use depths of 0.5-2.0mm, while scar revision may require deeper settings. Each session at our Larchmont office takes approximately 60-90 minutes including blood draw, centrifugation, and treatment time.
Benefits
Benefits of Microneedling with PRP
Collagen Remodeling from Within
The combination of microneedling and PRP creates a synergistic collagen response. Micro-injuries activate the wound healing cascade, while platelet-derived growth factors amplify fibroblast activity. My Aesthetic Doctor patients see progressive skin texture improvement over 4-6 weeks as new collagen matures.
Natural Rejuvenation Using Your Own Biology
PRP comes from your own blood, eliminating allergy risk and foreign substance concerns. Dr. Fakhre values this autologous approach because it aligns with My Aesthetic Doctor's commitment to natural, refined results. Your body does the rebuilding -- the treatment simply accelerates the process.
Versatile Treatment for Multiple Concerns
A single Microneedling with PRP session addresses fine lines, acne scarring, hyperpigmentation, pore size, and overall skin quality simultaneously. This multi-target approach makes it one of the most efficient skin rejuvenation treatments available at our Larchmont practice.
Process
The Microneedling with PRP Process at My Aesthetic Doctor
STEP 01
Skin Assessment and Consultation
Dr. Fakhre examines your skin under clinical lighting, evaluates your concerns, and determines the optimal treatment plan. My Aesthetic Doctor considers your skin type, scar depth, and goals to customize needle depth and PRP application strategy.
STEP 02
Blood Draw and PRP Preparation
A small blood sample -- typically 10-20ml -- is drawn from your arm. The sample is placed in a centrifuge for approximately 10 minutes to separate platelet-rich plasma from red blood cells. This produces a concentrated growth factor solution ready for application.
STEP 03
Numbing and Microneedling Treatment
Topical numbing cream is applied 20-30 minutes before the procedure. Dr. Fakhre then uses the microneedling device at calibrated depths across the treatment area. The PRP is applied simultaneously, allowing growth factors to penetrate through the micro-channels.
STEP 04
Recovery and Follow-Up
My Aesthetic Doctor applies a soothing post-treatment serum and provides detailed aftercare instructions. Mild redness resembling a sunburn is normal for 24-48 hours. Most patients return to regular activities within one to two days. Dr. Fakhre schedules follow-up to assess your results.
Candidacy
Ideal Candidates
Microneedling with PRP works well for adults with mild to moderate skin texture concerns, acne scarring, sun damage, or early signs of aging. My Aesthetic Doctor recommends this treatment for patients who want noticeable improvement without injectable fillers or surgical intervention.
Patients seeking hair restoration may also benefit from PRP scalp treatments. Dr. Fakhre evaluates each case individually during the consultation.
Who Should Wait or Consider Alternatives
Active acne breakouts, open wounds, or certain skin infections require treatment before microneedling. Patients on blood-thinning medications should discuss timing with Dr. Fakhre. My Aesthetic Doctor may recommend alternative treatments such as Medical Grade Peels for patients with specific contraindications.
Immediately After Treatment
Expect redness and mild swelling similar to a sunburn. Skin may feel warm and tight for the first 24 hours. My Aesthetic Doctor advises avoiding direct sun exposure and active skincare ingredients for 48-72 hours after treatment.
Progressive Results
Initial improvement in skin radiance appears within the first week. Collagen remodeling continues for 4-6 weeks, with optimal results visible around the 6-8 week mark. Dr. Fakhre recommends a series of 3-4 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart for comprehensive skin renewal.
Maintenance
After completing the initial treatment series, My Aesthetic Doctor recommends maintenance sessions every 6-12 months. This schedule sustains collagen production and continues improving skin texture over time.
