What Is PRF Microneedling?
PRF stands for Platelet-Rich Fibrin, and it represents the next generation of regenerative treatments beyond the more widely known PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma). Both PRF and PRP are derived from your own blood, but there are important differences:
PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) Processed without anticoagulants, resulting in a more natural, bioactive product Contains a higher concentration of platelets, growth factors, and white blood cells Includes a fibrin matrix that allows growth factors to be released slowly over time extending the regenerative effect Completely natural no additives of any kind Considered the more advanced and biologically rich option.
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) An earlier generation of regenerative therapy Processed with anticoagulants that can reduce the biological activity of the final product Growth factors are released more rapidly with a shorter window of effect Still effective, but PRF is increasingly preferred for skin rejuvenation treatments
Because PRF is derived entirely from your own blood and processed without additives, it is one of the safest and most biocompatible aesthetic treatments available.
Are You a Candidate for PRF Microneedling?
PRF microneedling suits various skin types. It uses your blood’s growth factors, minimizing allergic reactions. You may be a candidate unless you have blood disorders, active acne, keloid scarring, or specific medications. Dr. Lalonde will assess your health history to ensure safety.

Are looking for a natural alternative to synthetic fillers or chemical treatments
Have uneven skin tone, texture, or hyperpigmentation
Want to restore firmness and a more youthful glow to aging skin
Are in good general health without active skin infections in the treatment area
Are not currently pregnant or taking blood-thinning medications
What Can PRF Microneedling Treat?
PRF microneedling is a two-part treatment that combines microneedling a technique that creates controlled micro-channels in the surface of the skin with the topical application of Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF), a concentration of your body’s own growth factors and healing
proteins.
The micro-channels created by the microneedling device serve two purposes:
- They stimulate the skin's natural collagen and elastin production,
- And they allow the PRF to absorb deeply into the skin where it can have the greatest regenerative effect.
The result is a powerful, all-natural treatment that addresses a wide range of skin concerns improving texture, tone, firmness, and overall radiance while relying entirely on your body’s own healing process.

In the days immediately following treatment, some patients notice an initial glow as inflammation begins to settle. Over the following weeks and months, as new collagen and elastin form, patients typically observe:
In the days immediately following treatment, some patients notice an initial glow as inflammation begins to settle. Over the following weeks and months, as new collagen and elastin form, patients typically observe:
- Smoother, more refined skin texture
- Reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
- Fading of acne scars and hyperpigmentation
- Firmer, more lifted skin tone
- Improved overall radiance and skin quality
Most patients achieve their best results after a series of 3 treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart. Maintenance treatments 1–2 times per year help sustain and build on results over time. Individual outcomes vary based on age, skin condition, and lifestyle factors.

Is PRF microneedling safe for darker skin tones?
Yes. PRF microneedling is generally considered safe for all skin types and tones. Because it relies on your body’s own biology rather than heat or laser energy, it carries a lower risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation compared to some other resurfacing treatments.

What makes PRF microneedling different from PRP or traditional microneedling?
PRF uses a more advanced, natural form of your body’s own growth factors, delivering longer-lasting and more effective skin regeneration.
Is PRF Microneedling Painful?
