Microneedling & PRP Facial

Microneedling creates controlled micro-channels in the skin to stimulate collagen and elastin production, improving texture, pore size, fine lines, and mild scarring. PRP facials combine platelet-rich plasma derived from the patient's own blood with microneedling for enhanced regenerative results. A topical numbing step is included; a series of three to four sessions spaced four to six weeks apart is typically recommended.

Microneedling at Zarrabi Plastic Surgery uses a precision device to create thousands of micro-injuries in the dermis, triggering the skin's natural wound-healing cascade. The controlled micro-channels stimulate fibroblast activity, increasing the production of collagen and elastin — the structural proteins that give skin its firmness and elasticity. Over a series of treatments, patients typically see improvements in skin texture, enlarged pores, fine lines, mild acne scarring, and overall luminosity. The practice pairs microneedling with PRP (platelet-rich plasma) therapy. A small blood draw is centrifuged to concentrate growth factors from the patient's own platelets. The resulting PRP serum is applied topically during microneedling and driven into the dermis through the open channels, amplifying collagen stimulation and accelerating the skin's regenerative response. Because PRP is derived from the patient's own blood, there is no risk of allergic reaction. A typical microneedling session takes 45 to 60 minutes including a topical numbing period. Mild redness and sensitivity are expected for 24 to 48 hours post-treatment; most patients return to normal activities the following day. A course of three to four treatments spaced four to six weeks apart is generally recommended for optimal results, with annual maintenance sessions thereafter. Microneedling and PRP facials are available as standalone non-surgical skin treatments and are frequently recommended as part of a comprehensive rejuvenation plan that may also include chemical peels and CO2 laser resurfacing. Services are available from the Beverly Hills office at 150 S Rodeo Dr #200, with a second consultation location in Santa Monica.
