SkinPen Microneedling Minneapolis

SkinPen PRP Injection Services

Despite your best efforts, sometimes stubborn skin problems like fine lines, coarseness, and blemishes, such as acne scars, can be difficult to combat. SkinPen with PRP injection may be the answer you are looking for. It uses your body’s natural healing abilities to regenerate tissue and use your blood to create healthy new cells.

SkinPen uses microneedling, a process which uses tiny needles to create microscopic punctures in your skin to trigger the wound healing process in your body. We pair SkinPen microneedling with platelet-rich plasma treatment, also known as PRP treatment. PRP heals and rejuvenates your body’s delicate dermal tissue using your own blood platelets.

SkinPen with PRP injection can stimulate the production of collagen and elastin in your body. It also helps topical products to penetrate your skin more deeply for greater effectiveness. Speak with our caring and professional microneedling specialists to help you decide if SkinPen with PRP injection is right for you.

Benefits of SkinPen with PRP Injection

SkinPen with PRP injection works in several ways to restore your skin’s damaged tissue and help your body rebuild new, healthier skin. We can target several areas, creating a unique and individualized treatment approach to match your personal biology and desired look.

Acne Scar Treatment

Scarring from acne can be significant and can dramatically alter your appearance. It can leave your skin looking indented or pitted, causing an uneven appearance. SkinPen can be used to treat visible scarring due to acne problems, significantly reducing the appearance of scars and smoothing out skin. When combined with the healing effect of PRP, your skin is given a renewed and healthier appearance.

Fine Lines and Wrinkles

SkinPen with PRP injection works well to reduce the visible effects of aging, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles while stimulating your skin’s production of collagen and elastin. This helps your skin have a smooth, natural appearance without impacting your natural expressions.

Glowing Complexion

Over time, environmental factors like UV rays can affect your skin’s natural smoothness. SkinPen with PRP helps restore your skin’s natural glow by smoothing out your skin. PRP from your body’s own platelets can help your body to create natural elastin and collagen, which support your skin’s ability to retain moisture.

Increased Volume

As time passes, your skin loses its natural tissue volume that gives your skin its elastic quality. This causes muscle movements to impact your tissue, creating the visible lines, sagging, and other age-related skin damage. SkinPen with PRP injection works by stimulating the growth of new tissue using your skin’s extracellular matrix. The remodeling process that takes place can help stimulate increased volume in your tissue, slowing the aging process.

How SkinPen with PRP Injection Works

SkinPen with PRP works by creating a series of controlled micro-injuries, which work to stimulate the natural healing process in your body while minimizing cellular damage to your tissue. This causes your body to remodel existing tissue.

We begin by piercing the skin, which stimulates an immune system response and increases blood flow to the area, creating new tissue while disinfecting the wounds and removing debris. Your body will then rebuild the wound by creating new granulation cells as part of your body’s extracellular matrix. This will also cause a new network of blood vessels to develop. Finally, your body will replace the injured tissue with new dermal tissue and blood vessels, causing regeneration and remodeled tissue structure.

What to Expect With Skinpen with PRP

We begin by meeting with you to discuss your unique needs and then develop an individualized treatment plan that helps you get to your desired results. Your treatment plan may require several visits.

At each of your visits, we will apply topical numbing solution to your skin before the treatment begins. This is to ensure your experience as comfortable as possible. Some patients experience minor sensitivity during the treatment, but most find the sensation mild.

For most individuals, the recovery process will last about 48-72 hours after a SkinPen with PRP treatment. You will also need to keep your skin hydrated after a SkinPen with PRP treatment and limit heat and UV exposure for the first couple of days. Your skin may be a bit sensitive at first and feel similar to a sunburn. SkinPen with PRP treatments can be repeated once every month and combined with other services.
