MICRONEEDLING+ PRP
Stages Skin is proud to be a preferred partner with SkinPen microneedling. SkinPen Precision is the first FDA-cleared microneedling device approved for use on the face and an area of the body. Microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure that can treat different skin conditions. It can help with the appearance of scars, large pores, wrinkles, stretch marks, and an overall improvement in the skin’s surface.
The procedure is safe for all skin types and there is little to no downtime. We recommend a series of 3 microneedling sessions to see results. Numbing cream can be applied to minimize any discomfort. This treatment can improve your complexion, reduce fine lines and pores, reduce acne scarring and reduce overall appearance of skin.

FAQs
Are Results Immediate?
Results can start to be seen in 1-2 weeks after treatment. They will continue to build over the next several months.
How Does SkinPen Work?
SkinPen creates thousands of microscopic channels within your skin. While doing this it activates the body’s natural healing response to remodel the skin and keep the overall structure of the skin intact.
How Many Treatments Are Needed?
While you will see subtle results after 1 treatment, best results are seen when treatments are done in a series spaced 4-6 weeks apart
Is There Downtime?
With microneedling and PRP you will just experience mild redness and flaking for several days. There is always potential for mild swelling, redness, or bruising for several days after microneedling & PRP.
Pre-Treatment Guidelines
- Schedule your appointment at least 10 days prior to a special event. Redness, swelling and bruising may be apparent in that time period.
- It is recommended to discontinue the use of Aspirin, NSAIDS, Gingko Biloba, Garlic, Ginseng, St. John’s Wort, Flax Oil, Cod Liver Oil, Vitamin A, Vitamin E or any other essential fatty acids at least 3 days to 1 week before and after treatment to minimize bruising or bleeding. Please consult with your primary physician prior to discontinuing any medications.
- Avoid alcohol, caffeine, Niacin supplement, high-sodium foods, high sugar foods, refined carbohydrates, spicy foods and cigarettes 24-48 hours before and after your treatment. All of these factors may increase risk of bruising and swelling.
- Starting Arnica supplements at least 2 days prior to injections may help with bruising.
- Let the provider know if you have a history of cold sores. An antiviral may be prescribed.
- You may not have an active rash in the area being treated.
- You may not be pregnant or breastfeeding.
Post-Treatment Guidelines
- Redness or sensitivity might be present (most commonly passes after first 24 hours).
- Use Tylenol only as needed for any soreness. Avoid blood thinning agents, as this can cause further bruising.
- Do NOT rub or touch the treated area for 4 hours following treatment.
- Do NOT wear anything tight around the area for 4 hours following treatment.
- Do NOT lay down or sleep for 4 hours after your treatment.
- Do NOT exercise or lift heavy objects for 4 hours after treatment.
