SkinPen® Microneedling With PRF in Portland & Lake Oswego

Refresh, Repair, and Restore Your Skin’s Natural Glow

At In My Own Skin MedSpa, we offer SkinPen® Microneedling—a clinically proven treatment designed to stimulate your skin’s own repair process, improving texture, tone, and overall radiance. For even greater rejuvenation, we can enhance your treatment with PRF (platelet-rich fibrin), a natural, highly concentrated source of both platelets and growth factors derived from your own blood.

What Is SkinPen® Microneedling?

SkinPen® Microneedling uses fine, sterile needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. These microchannels trigger your body’s natural healing response, stimulating the production of collagen and elastin—two essential proteins for firm, smooth, youthful-looking skin.

This treatment can be performed on its own or combined with PRF, an advanced, next-generation version of PRP (platelet-rich plasma). While PRP works very well, PRF contains an even higher concentration of growth factors that are released more gradually, providing longer-lasting skin rejuvenation.

What Are the Benefits of SkinPen® Microneedling With PRF?

With PRF

  • Maximized collagen stimulation for more dramatic and longer-lasting results
  • Higher concentration of platelets and growth factors to accelerate skin repair
  • Gradual, sustained release of rejuvenating factors for a prolonged effect
  • Enhanced improvement in skin tone, texture, and firmness

Without PRF

  • Effective on its own for boosting collagen and improving overall skin health
  • Helps smooth fine lines and wrinkles
  • Reduces the appearance of acne scars and enlarged pores
  • Improves skin texture and tone without additional downtime

Who Is a Candidate for SkinPen® Microneedling?

You may be a good candidate if you:

  • Want to improve uneven texture or tone
  • Have fine lines, wrinkles, or early signs of aging
  • Struggle with acne scars or other superficial scars
  • Wish to minimize enlarged pores
  • Prefer a non-surgical skin rejuvenation option with minimal downtime
  • Are in overall good health and have realistic expectations

SkinPen® Microneedling is safe for all skin types and tones—no need to worry about post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation or any other adverse effects associated with heat and light treatments like lasers.

How Is SkinPen® Microneedling With PRF Performed?

  1. Blood Draw (for PRF option): If you choose to enhance your microneedling with PRF, we begin by drawing a small sample of your blood. This is processed in a centrifuge at a low speed to create a fibrin matrix rich in platelets and growth factors.
  2. Microneedling: The SkinPen® device glides across the skin, creating tiny, controlled micro-injuries that stimulate collagen and elastin production.
  3. PRF Application (if selected): The PRF is applied directly to your skin, where it penetrates through the microchannels created during microneedling. The growth factors are released slowly over time, accelerating healing and enhancing results.

What Is SkinPen® Microneedling Recovery Like?

Recovery is minimal. Most patients experience temporary redness, mild swelling, or skin sensitivity—similar to a light sunburn—for 24 to 72 hours. You may also notice dryness or flaking as your skin naturally renews itself.

We will provide you with post-treatment skincare instructions to protect your skin and maximize results, which typically include:

  • Avoiding direct sun exposure and using a good broad-spectrum sunscreen
  • Changing your pillowcase the day of treatment
  • Skipping makeup for the first 24 hours
  • Using gentle, non-irritating skincare products until healing is complete
  • Avoiding pools, swimming, saunas, hot tubs, and intense exercise for the first 48 hours

When Will I See My SkinPen® Microneedling Results?

Most patients notice an initial improvement in skin texture within one to two weeks. Collagen remodeling continues for several months, meaning results become more noticeable and refined over time.

How many treatments do I need?

For best results, we often recommend a series of three to six treatments, spaced four to six weeks apart. PRF-enhanced treatments may yield faster, more dramatic improvements.
