Microneedling Fairfax, VA
Real Skin Change. Powered by You.
At Sculpt Aesthetics & Plastic Surgery in Fairfax, VA, we love treatments that feel natural. Microneedling with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is one of them. It uses your own blood to jumpstart the body’s healing process and get your skin working for you again. Whether you’re frustrated by acne scars, stretch marks, or just want improved skin texture, this is a treatment that blends science with your body’s own power.
Our Fairfax providers take time to design a personalized treatment plan for every patient. The goal? Smooth, healthy skin that looks refreshed without looking “done.”
Microneedling is a simple procedure that tells your skin it’s time to repair itself. A small device creates tiny micro-channels in the treatment area. That little bit of controlled injury wakes up your blood cells, gets growth factors moving, and stimulates new collagen.
It’s one of the safest microneedling treatments out there, effective for almost all skin types. And it doesn’t just improve wrinkles—it helps soften scars, fade discoloration, and create a smoother surface overall.
PRP stands for platelet-rich plasma. It’s made from a small sample of your own blood. We spin that blood down in a centrifuge to separate the plasma from the red blood cells. The plasma is full of platelets and healing factors that play an important role in tissue repair.
When PRP is paired with microneedling, it’s applied to the injection site or directly onto the treated skin. The result? Faster recovery, stronger collagen, and better long-term results. Patients love it because it’s completely natural—no foreign material, just the best of your own body working to promote healing.
Microneedling At A Glance
This isn’t about chasing trends. It’s about skin that feels good to live in. With microneedling treatments and PRP injections, your skin is pushed to heal itself, making results look authentic.
Benefits include:
Microneedling with PRP is versatile. Most patients start with the face, but it’s also effective for the neck, chest, arms, stomach, and even the scalp. Wherever you want better texture, less scarring, or more firmness, this microneedling procedure can be customized for that affected area.
Who’s a Candidate?
Most patients are candidates for microneedling with PRP. If you’ve got fine lines, scars, or uneven tone, this treatment is worth considering. Because PRP comes from your own body, allergic reactions are rare.
Not ideal for everyone: if you have active acne, infections, blood disorders, or certain medical conditions, we’ll want to wait. That’s why the consultation is key. We’ll discuss your health history and design a safe, effective plan.
What Can Microneedling Address?
Microneedling with PRP works for a wide range of issues. It can:
Consultation and Preparation
Your first visit is a chance to map out your skin goals. We’ll look at the treatment area, talk about what bothers you, and outline your personalized treatment plan.
Prep is easy. Avoid alcohol and blood thinners for 24 hours, keep skin free of sunburn, and pause retinoids or strong products. These simple steps minimize bruising and make sure your microneedling procedure goes smoothly.
How is PRP Harvested?
It starts with a quick blood draw. That sample goes into a centrifuge, which spins the red cells away and leaves you with concentrated platelet-rich plasma PRP. That’s the part rich in growth factors that help promote healing and stimulate collagen. Once prepared, it’s applied to the treatment area or used in PRP injections.
Because it comes from you, there’s little risk and high effectiveness.
Your Microneedling Procedure
We begin with a topical numbing cream to ease any potential discomfort. Then, the microneedling device is passed over the targeted areas to create micro-channels. Right away, PRP is layered on or injected so it can sink deep into the skin.
The whole procedure usually takes about an hour. Patients often describe the sensation as prickly or warm—strange but tolerable. Most patients handle it easily.
Recovery and Aftercare
Expect mild redness or swelling, like a light sunburn. That fades in a day or two. You’ll be fine to return to normal activities quickly.
We’ll ask you to avoid makeup for 24 hours, skip workouts for a day or two, and protect your skin from the sun. These small steps keep healing on track and help you see optimal results.
You won’t walk out with instant perfection. Your skin needs time to build new collagen and elastin. Most patients start noticing changes in a few weeks, with scars fading and skin looking smoother. Over the next several sessions, results get better and better.
Keep your outcome lasting with maintenance treatments every so often. Paired with good skincare, results can last months or more.
Pricing depends on the size of the treatment area, the severity of your concerns, and the number of sessions. Adding other treatments like resurfacing or injectables can change the cost, too. At your consultation, you’ll get a clear breakdown—no surprises, no hidden fees.
