Microneedling + PRP
Microneedling with PRP—also known as collagen induction therapy with platelet-rich plasma—is a non-surgical skin rejuvenation treatment that helps improve the appearance of fine lines, acne scars, enlarged pores, sun damage, and uneven skin tone. This combination treatment enhances the body’s natural healing process by creating tiny micro-injuries in the skin and applying nutrient-rich PRP to boost collagen production and cellular renewal.
Microneedling with PRP in Tulsa is minimally invasive and does not involve surgery or harsh chemicals. The treatment uses a series of fine needles to stimulate the skin’s repair process, while the PRP—drawn from your own blood—is applied to amplify results by delivering growth factors deep into the tissue. Depending on your skin type, medical history, and skincare goals, Dr. Kreitzberg will work with you to determine if microneedling with PRP is the right choice for your skin health and aesthetic goals.
What Exactly Is Microneedling + PRP?
Microneedling with PRP in Tulsa is performed by a trained healthcare professional to naturally stimulate skin repair and collagen production. The procedure begins with microneedling—a process that uses a device equipped with fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries on the skin’s surface. These micro-channels trigger the body’s natural healing response and allow for deeper absorption of platelet-rich plasma (PRP), which is prepared by drawing a small amount of your own blood and isolating its most healing components through centrifugation.
Once applied to the skin, PRP delivers a powerful dose of growth factors that accelerate tissue regeneration, reduce inflammation, and promote smoother, firmer skin. The combined effect of microneedling and PRP is more than skin-deep—it helps reduce the appearance of acne scars, fine lines, enlarged pores, sun damage, and even mild laxity. This treatment is considered minimally invasive, with little downtime and minimal discomfort.
Compared to more aggressive resurfacing treatments like ablative lasers, microneedling with PRP is gentler on the skin and carries a lower risk of complications, making it a safer option for a broader range of skin types and tones. Most patients experience mild redness for 24–48 hours post-treatment, followed by noticeable improvement in skin texture and tone over the following weeks.
Benefits And Risks Of Microneedling + PRP
Microneedling with PRP offers a range of benefits for patients in Tulsa looking to improve skin tone, texture, and overall radiance without undergoing surgery or harsh treatments. This procedure is especially effective for minimizing the appearance of acne scars, fine lines, enlarged pores, sun damage, and early signs of aging. Because PRP is derived from your own blood, it enhances the body’s natural healing process and promotes collagen production for healthier, smoother, and more youthful-looking skin over time.
Microneedling with PRP is safe for most skin types and tones, including those with more sensitive or reactive skin. Unlike laser treatments, it does not involve heat or removal of skin layers, making it a lower-risk option with minimal downtime. However, it may not be ideal for individuals with active acne, certain skin conditions, or blood disorders. A consultation with Dr. Kreitzberg can help determine if this treatment is appropriate for your unique skin needs and goals.
As with any cosmetic procedure, there are potential risks to consider. The most common side effects include temporary redness, mild swelling, or tenderness in the treated area—usually resolving within 24 to 48 hours. Less commonly, pinpoint bruising or light flaking may occur. These effects are generally short-lived and can be minimized by following the recommended aftercare instructions provided by your provider.
