The Treatment
What Is Microneedling with PRP?
Microneedling is a clinically proven skin renewal treatment that uses a precisely controlled device to create thousands of microscopic channels in the skin — triggering your body’s natural wound-healing response and stimulating fresh collagen and elastin production. At MedCura, Nimi combines this with Platelet-Rich Plasma extracted from your own blood — delivering a concentrated cocktail of your own growth factors directly into those micro-channels for results that go significantly further than needling alone.
The pairing is elegant in its logic: microneedling creates the pathway, PRP delivers the signal. Together they produce progressive, cumulative improvement in skin texture, tone, scarring, and overall quality with results that patients consistently describe as natural-looking, long-lasting, and genuinely transformative.
Your Treatment, Step by Step
01
Consultation & Skin Assessment
Nimi assesses your skin thoroughly, noting texture, tone, scarring, pore size, and areas of concern, before designing a microneedling protocol calibrated precisely to your skin’s needs and goals.
02
Blood Draw & PRP Preparation
A small blood sample is taken and centrifuged to separate and concentrate the platelet-rich plasma. Approximately 20–25 minutes, carried out under strict clinical conditions at MedCura.
03
Numbing & Treatment (45–60 mins)
04
PRP Application & Absorption
Your prepared PRP is applied directly to the skin while the micro-channels remain open, allowing deep absorption into the dermis. A soothing recovery mask is applied before you leave.
Treatment Benefits
What Microneedling with PRP Can Do
Improves Acne Scarring
Progressive reduction in rolling, boxcar, and shallow ice-pick scars — with each session building meaningfully on the last.
Refines Pores & Texture
Enlarged pores tighten visibly and rough skin texture becomes noticeably smoother one of the most consistent benefits patients report.
Reduces Fine Lines
Collagen stimulation progressively softens fine lines and early wrinkles without the frozen appearance sometimes associated with injectable treatments.
Safe for All Skin Tones
Equally effective and safe across Fitzpatrick skin types I through VI making it Nimi's go-to treatment for patients of diverse ethnic backgrounds.
Minimal Downtime
Most patients experience 24–48 hours of mild redness before returning comfortably to work and social commitments.
Restores Natural Radiance
Patients consistently note a return of skin luminosity and vitality the kind of glow that makes people ask if you've been on holiday.
Common Questions
What Patients Ask Most
Is microneedling with PRP painful?
A topical numbing cream is applied thoroughly before the treatment begins, making the procedure very comfortable. You may feel mild pressure and warmth — but significant discomfort is uncommon.
How many sessions will I need?
Nimi typically recommends three to six sessions, spaced four to six weeks apart. The exact number depends on your specific concerns and the depth of any scarring she will give you a clear recommendation at your consultation.
Is this safe for darker skin tones?
Yes. Microneedling with PRP carries no risk of hyperpigmentation on darker Fitzpatrick types (IV–VI) unlike many laser treatments. This makes it one of Nimi’s most-recommended treatments for patients of diverse ethnic backgrounds seeking significant skin improvement.
Can microneedling be combined with exosomes instead of PRP?
Yes. For patients seeking the most advanced regenerative outcome, Nimi offers microneedling with autologous exosomes as an alternative delivering a more targeted set of cellular signals with even more impressive skin renewal.
