Why timing matters
Texture and scarring don’t improve on their own. At‑home rollers can injure skin or spread bacteria. In‑office microneedling devices are regulated medical devices with defined uses and safety controls.
How SkinPen Microneedling with PRP works
SkinPen® microneedling: creates uniform micro‑channels at a controlled depth to trigger your skin’s wound‑healing cascade and new collagen. It is the first microneedling device cleared by the FDA for acne scars in adults (22+). skinpen.com+1
PRP (platelet‑rich plasma): we isolate your platelets from a small blood draw. Platelets release growth factors that support repair. Applying PRP during microneedling helps deliver these factors where your skin is already in repair mode. Calista Aesthetics
