Microneedling with PRP

Mosaic Skin Studio combines SkinPen microneedling with the patient's own platelet-rich plasma at the San Francisco location. Following a blood draw and chairside centrifuge, the concentrated PRP is applied directly onto the skin while microchannels are open, maximising growth factor absorption. The combination enhances collagen stimulus, reduces recovery time, and delivers measurably better outcomes for fine lines, acne scars, and skin tone versus microneedling alone. The bundle is priced at approximately $750.

Platelet-rich plasma therapy at Mosaic Skin Studio is delivered as an enhancement to the SkinPen microneedling session, making it the most accessible PRP treatment at the San Francisco Glen Park location. The procedure begins with a small peripheral blood draw performed by the nurse practitioner; the sample is centrifuged chairside to concentrate platelets and growth factors — platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and epidermal growth factor (EGF) among them. Immediately following the SkinPen pass, the PRP is applied topically and gently pressed into the active microchannels before they close. Transdermal absorption via this route is dramatically more efficient than surface application to intact skin, and the platelet concentration supports both faster tissue repair and a more robust secondary collagen-building phase over the following four to six weeks. Patients choosing the microneedling-plus-PRP bundle typically report reduced redness duration and faster return to normal skin appearance compared with microneedling alone. Improvement in fine lines, acne scarring, and overall luminosity is cumulative across a treatment course of three sessions. Mosaic's medically supervised environment — with co-founder Stephanie Hwang, NP (UCSF-trained) or Karen A., FNP on hand — ensures the draw, centrifuge process, and application protocol are performed to clinical standards. The studio uses only autologous plasma from the patient's own blood draw, not synthetic alternatives marketed as PRP equivalents. The San Francisco location focuses on facial PRP combined with microneedling. Scalp PRP for hair restoration and injectable volumising PRP are available at the Oakland Piedmont Ave flagship for patients wanting extended services. The bundle is priced at approximately $750, representing a meaningful saving over booking the two procedures separately.
