PRP Facial with Microneedling

Regenevéda's PRP Facial combines platelet-rich plasma (PRP) derived from the patient's own blood with microneedling — collagen induction therapy using fine controlled skin punctures — to stimulate collagen production and skin renewal. Blood is drawn, centrifuged to isolate growth factor-rich PRP, and applied topically during or after the microneedling session so that the channels created by the needles enhance PRP absorption into the dermis. Led by Dr. Thom E. Lobe MD and clinical staff at the Loop clinic, the combined treatment targets skin texture, fine lines, pore size, and overall skin tone without synthetic fillers or chemicals.

The PRP Facial with Microneedling at Regenevéda is a regenerative aesthetic treatment combining two mechanistically complementary modalities — platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and collagen induction therapy (CIT) via microneedling — to leverage the skin's own healing response for rejuvenation. Microneedling uses a motorised device equipped with fine sterile needles (typically 0.5 to 2.5 mm depth, depending on the target concern and area) to create controlled micro-channels in the epidermis and superficial dermis. These micro-injuries trigger a wound healing cascade involving platelet aggregation, growth factor release, and fibroblast activation that stimulates the production of new type I and type III collagen and elastin. This process, over a treatment series and subsequent weeks, progressively remodels the dermal matrix, improving skin texture, reducing the appearance of fine lines and surface wrinkles, minimising enlarged pore appearance, and diminishing superficial acne scarring and hyperpigmentation. PRP is prepared from the patient's own blood — typically 15 to 30 mL drawn at the time of treatment — which is centrifuged to separate plasma rich in platelets and the growth factors they carry, including platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), fibroblast growth factor (FGF), epidermal growth factor (EGF), and insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1). Applied topically during or after microneedling, PRP enters the dermis through the micro-channels to deliver concentrated growth factor signalling directly at the dermal remodelling sites, amplifying the collagen-stimulating response beyond what microneedling alone achieves. The autologous nature of PRP eliminates the risk of allergic reaction or foreign body response. Regenevéda offers this treatment at its 8 S Michigan Ave, Suite 812 Loop location, with treatments performed under the oversight of Dr. Thom Lobe MD FAARFM. A series of three to four sessions spaced four to six weeks apart is typically recommended for optimal collagen remodelling outcomes.
