Before beginning the microneedling process, the doctor will draw an allotted amount of blood from the patient to obtain the platelet-rich plasma. The blood will then be placed into a centrifugation device that separates the platelets from the rest of the components, which will be later used topically once the microneedling step has been completed. The expert will use the Eclipse MicroPen over the entire surface of the treatment area. 

This will create a series of tiny puncture wounds within the epidermis to stimulate the body’s healing capabilities, including the production of collagen and elastin. They will then cover the entire treated area with the platelet-rich plasma, allowing it to seep into the skin to help rejuvenate the skin further. Once this is complete, the patient will be able to leave the office soon after.
