Microneedling & PRP Facial

Microneedling at Zarrabi Plastic Surgery uses a precision device to create thousands of micro-injuries in the dermis, triggering the skin's natural wound-healing cascade. The controlled micro-channels stimulate fibroblast activity, increasing the production of collagen and elastin — the structural proteins that give skin its firmness and elasticity. Over a series of treatments, patients typically see improvements in skin texture, enlarged pores, fine…

The practice pairs microneedling with PRP (platelet-rich plasma) therapy. A small blood draw is centrifuged to concentrate growth factors from the patient's own platelets. The resulting PRP serum is applied topically during microneedling and driven into the dermis through the open channels, amplifying collagen stimulation and accelerating the skin's regenerative response. Because PRP is derived from the patient's own blood, there is no risk of allergic…

A typical microneedling session takes 45 to 60 minutes including a topical numbing period. Mild redness and sensitivity are expected for 24 to 48 hours post-treatment; most patients return to normal activities the following day. A course of three to four treatments spaced four to six weeks apart is generally recommended for optimal results, with annual maintenance sessions thereafter.
