What is SkinPen® & PRP?
SkinPen® is a safe and effective microneedling treatment that combines two powerful approaches: the collagen-inducing benefits of microneedling and the regenerative power of platelet-rich plasma (PRP), growth factors, or exosomes. During this treatment, the SkinPen® device creates controlled micro-injuries in the skin’s surface to trigger the body’s natural healing response, stimulating the production of collagen and elastin. The process encourages the skin to repair itself, which results in firmer, smoother, and more even skin.
PRP, platelet-rich plasma derived from your own blood, contains growth factors and healing proteins that further enhance the skin’s natural repair mechanisms. When PRP is applied after microneedling, it accelerates the healing process, allowing your skin to regenerate more efficiently. This combination makes SkinPen® with PRP especially effective in addressing fine lines, acne scars, hyperpigmentation, and uneven skin tone. For those whose platelets may not be in optimal condition for effective PRP therapy, we work with AnteAge®, a reputable anti-aging / wellness company, to provide acellular (without cells) exosomes and growth factors derived from safe, effective, and human natural sources.
Benefits of Augmented SkinPen® Treatments
SkinPen® offers numerous benefits for those seeking skin rejuvenation and enhanced texture:
- Enhanced Skin Rejuvenation
By combining microneedling with the augmentation mentioned above, this treatment accelerates healing, reduces downtime, and improves skin texture for more noticeable results. - Reduction of Acne Scars
SkinPen® is particularly effective in minimizing the appearance of acne scars by stimulating collagen production and resurfacing the skin. - Boosted Collagen Production
The treatment promotes the natural production of collagen and elastin, helping to firm, tighten, and plump the skin over time. - Improved Skin Tone & Texture
This advanced treatment smooths out uneven skin texture, reducing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and enlarged pores. - Minimal Downtime
While the treatment involves minimal recovery, you can expect faster healing due to the regenerative properties of PRP and exosomes, allowing you to resume your normal activities sooner.
How Does SkinPen® with PRP Work?
The SkinPen® with PRP treatment combines advanced microneedling technology with the regenerative power of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) to rejuvenate your skin. This process involves several key steps, each designed to enhance the effectiveness of the treatment and ensure optimal results.
- Consultation
Before beginning any treatment, we conduct a thorough consultation to evaluate your skin concerns, determine your goals, and ensure that SkinPen® with PRP or exosome augmentation is the right choice for you. Based on your specific needs, we will develop a personalized treatment plan that delivers the best possible results. - Preparation
To begin, the treatment area is thoroughly cleansed, and a topical numbing cream is applied to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure. In the case of PRP, we will draw 30 mL of blood from your arm, which is then processed in a centrifuge to isolate the platelet-rich plasma (PRP). Exosomes are suspended in hyaluronic acid in sterile individual use vials. - Microneedling
Once the skin is numb, the SkinPen® device is used to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. These tiny punctures stimulate the body’s natural healing response, which boosts collagen and elastin production. The microneedling process helps improve the skin’s texture and firmness, addressing a range of concerns such as fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and enlarged pores. - PRP or Exosome Application
After microneedling, the PRP or exosome solution is carefully applied to the treated area. The growth factors and proteins in PRP and the exosome solution penetrate deeply into the skin through the micro-injuries created by the SkinPen®. This enhances the skin’s natural healing response, promoting faster regeneration, improved skin tone, and a more youthful appearance. PRP also accelerates tissue repair, leading to quicker recovery and better overall results. - Post-Treatment Care
Following the treatment, your skin may appear red and slightly swollen, similar to a mild sunburn. We will provide you with detailed post-care instructions to ensure the best possible outcome and minimize any discomfort. SkinPen® typically involves minimal downtime, although redness and swelling may persist for a few days. It’s important to avoid sun exposure, use gentle skincare products, and follow the specific aftercare guidelines provided by your provider to promote healing and optimize results.

What to Expect After SkinPen®
After your treatment, your skin will gradually improve over time as collagen production increases and the skin naturally heals. You may begin to see some initial improvements within the first week, but the most noticeable results will develop over the course of several weeks to a few months. The overall rejuvenation effects of SkinPen® with PRP or exosomes can last for several months, with many clients noticing long-term improvements in skin texture, tone, and firmness.
For optimal results, a series of treatments is typically recommended. Most clients benefit from 4-6 sessions, spaced about 4-6 weeks apart. During your consultation, your provider will discuss a treatment plan tailored to your specific needs and goals.

Outstanding customer service is a rare commodity now and days. When it is encountered, it should be acknowledged. I would like to single out Meena at Vital Clinic and Spa as such an example. She proved on several occasions the level of dedication and integrity that we could only hope to be fortunate to encounter once in a while. I found that Vital fosters this level of dedication within their group. I am glad to be one of their patients.

I took my teen daughter to Vital Clinic and Spa to get a facial and Jennifer was amazing. My daughter really enjoyed the experience and immediately felt her face smoother right after. We were both very pleased with the results. Jennifer did a great job and went above and beyond by providing tips on how to properly clean and take care of your face. We look forward in visiting again. Thank you for the great service Jennifer!
