Microneedling with PRP
Collagen-induction microneedling combined with your own platelet-rich plasma, worked into the skin for a more natural regenerative effect than needling alone.
How it works
A small blood sample is spun down to concentrate its platelets and growth factors. Microneedling then creates micro-channels that let this plasma work more deeply into the skin, encouraging collagen and repair using your own biology.
Areas we treat
Full face, particularly for acne scarring, early fine lines and overall skin quality; often chosen instead of standalone PRP & PRF Facial when texture is the main concern.
The session and aftercare
About 60 minutes including the blood draw and prep. Redness and mild swelling for 1-2 days. A course of 3 sessions, 4 weeks apart, is typical.
Who it suits
- Acne scarring or textural concerns
- Wanting a natural, blood-derived regenerative option
- No known blood or clotting disorders
Combining two proven techniques
Microneedling with PRP pairs controlled micro-injury from fine needles with platelet-rich plasma drawn from your own blood, so the growth factors that drive collagen remodelling are delivered directly into the channels created by the needling. This combination is a step up from microneedling alone for concerns like acne scarring, enlarged pores, uneven texture and early photoageing, and because PRP is autologous there is no risk of an allergic reaction to a foreign filler.

How much does microneedling with PRP cost in the Maldives?
Pricing depends on the area and course length; we confirm an exact quote after a short consultation.
How many sessions will I need?
A course of 3 sessions, 4 weeks apart, is typical for acne scarring or overall skin quality.
Does it hurt?
Topical numbing is used beforehand, so most people find it comfortable. Mild soreness for a day afterward is normal.
What is the downtime?
Redness and mild swelling for 1-2 days is expected, similar to a light sunburn.
When will I see results?
Skin quality and glow improve within the first week; scar and texture improvements build gradually over 2-3 months as new collagen forms.
What are the risks?
Because it uses your own blood, allergic reaction risk is very low. Temporary redness, swelling or pinpoint bleeding are the main effects.
Who is a good candidate for microneedling with PRP?
Anyone with acne scarring, early fine lines or textural concerns and no known blood or clotting disorders. It is confirmed as suitable at consultation.
