PRP Dermal Needling
Collagen induction therapy combined with Platelet-Rich Plasma — stimulate your skin's natural healing to reduce scars, fine lines, and signs of aging with minimal downtime.

Collagen induction therapy — skin's own healing power at work
Dermal needling is also called skin needling, micro-needling therapy, or collagen induction therapy. It is a minimally invasive, nonsurgical and nonablative procedure for facial rejuvenation that uses a specialized device to create a controlled minor skin injury.
When a fine needle punctures the skin, it creates a micro-wound. This controlled injury triggers the body to produce new collagen and elastin — the substances that give your skin that plump, youthful texture and glow. In addition, dermal needling creates new capillaries and reduces the appearance of scars, while fostering improved skin smoothness, tightness, and hydration.
Professional dermal needling is among the safest skin treatment procedures available. Compared with chemical peels, dermabrasion, or laser treatment, dermal needling and micro-needling cause the least damage to your skin — making it an ideal option for a wide range of skin types and tones.
How PRP Dermal Needling Works
When a specialized micro-needling device creates fine needle punctures in the skin, it produces micro-wounds. These controlled injuries trigger the body's natural healing response — stimulating the production of new collagen, elastin, and capillaries. It is this natural regenerative process that gives the skin its renewed plumpness, texture, and youthful glow.
We use state-of-the-art COSMOPen micro-needling technology, which delivers the same quality results as a fractional laser — without the downtime, expense, pain, or thermal damage associated with laser treatments. COSMOPen vertically pierces the skin at a precise depth, inducing collagen production and targeting pigmentation issues.
The treatment is used to address acne scars, surgical scars, keloids, wrinkles, stretch marks, large pores, and general signs of skin aging. Because it does not damage the epidermis, the treatment can be safely repeated for ongoing improvement.
Unlike chemical peels, dermabrasion, or laser resurfacing, PRP dermal needling causes the least damage to your skin — making it an excellent option for thin, sensitive skin and areas where other treatments cannot safely be performed.
Consultation & Skin Assessment
Our RN assesses your skin, discusses your concerns, and determines the appropriate needle depth and treatment protocol for your specific goals and skin type.
Skin Preparation
A topical numbing cream is applied to the treatment area for comfort. The skin is cleansed and prepared for the procedure.
COSMOPen Micro-Needling
The COSMOPen device is guided across the skin, creating thousands of precise micro-channels vertically through the skin's surface — triggering the collagen induction response without thermal damage.
PRP Application
Platelet-Rich Plasma — derived from a small sample of your own blood processed in a centrifuge — is applied to the micro-channels, delivering concentrated growth factors directly into the skin to accelerate healing and collagen production.
Healing & Results
Increased collagen production begins within 48–72 hours. Noticeable skin improvement appears within approximately four weeks, with new collagen lasting several years.
Your Benefits of Dermal Needling
Dermal needling offers a wide range of advantages over more invasive or aggressive skin resurfacing treatments. Other options like laser resurfacing or dermabrasion often cause considerable skin damage and require much longer time away from daily activities.
PRP dermal needling at Robinson Facial Plastic Surgery does not create a visible demarcation line between treated and untreated skin — making it ideal for targeting specific areas of scarring without needing to blend treatment edges across the entire face.
New collagen created by this treatment can last several years, making micro-needling an effective, long-lasting investment in your skin's health and appearance.

COSMOPen Needling vs. Other Skin Treatments
COSMOPen micro-needling delivers the benefits of fractional laser technology — without the associated risks, pain, and recovery time.
🔬 COSMOPen Micro-Needling
Vertical micro-channels only — no thermal damage. Safe on all skin tones including dark skin. Minimal downtime. No demarcation lines. Can be repeated safely. Works on sensitive and thin skin. Cost-effective. Stimulates collagen naturally through healing response.
🔥 Laser Resurfacing
Uses thermal heat energy — risk of burns and hyperpigmentation on darker skin. Longer downtime required. Can cause demarcation between treated and untreated skin. Higher cost. Not suitable for all skin types or sensitive areas.
💨 Dermabrasion / Chemical Peels
Abrades or chemically removes outer skin layers — more surface damage. Significant downtime and redness. Risk of pigmentation issues on darker skin. Not suitable for thin or sensitive skin. Difficult to treat isolated scarring areas precisely.
After Your PRP Dermal Needling Treatment
PRP dermal needling is well-tolerated by patients and requires very little recovery. Because the treatment does not damage the epidermis, healing is quick and the skin's surface integrity is maintained throughout the process.
Some patients experience mild redness, warmth, or sensitivity in the treated area for 24–48 hours following the procedure — similar to a mild sunburn. This is a completely normal part of the healing and collagen-induction response and subsides quickly.
Results build progressively as new collagen is produced over the following weeks. For ongoing skin improvement, a series of treatments may be recommended — and because the procedure is safe to repeat, patients can maintain and build on their results over time.
