PRP and PRF with microneedling in Newport Beach — your own growth factors for renewed, glowing skin.
Want a natural boost to your skin’s tone, texture, and scars?
PRP or PRF with microneedling applies your own platelet-rich plasma (PRP) or platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) into the micro-channels created by microneedling, accelerating healing and adding a growth-factor signal that microneedling alone doesn’t provide. At ZENA Medical in Newport Beach it costs $850 per session with a licensed aesthetician or $1,000 with an RN, NP or physician — the same price for PRP and PRF.
Do you have aged, dull skin that you’d love to bring back to life? If so, PRP with microneedling may be the perfect treatment for you. It uses your own platelet-rich plasma to minimize signs of aging and rejuvenate your face, neck, chest, and/or hands. PRP can also be used to restore your hair if you’re facing premature hair loss or thinning hair.
Both are prepared from a small draw of your own blood, spun down on site. PRP (platelet-rich plasma) is processed with an anticoagulant and releases its growth factors quickly. PRF (platelet-rich fibrin) is prepared without anticoagulant at a lower spin speed, which leaves a fibrin matrix that releases growth factors more gradually. Which one we use is a clinical decision based on what we’re treating — acne scarring, under-eye crepiness, hair restoration or overall skin quality — and we’ll explain the choice at your appointment. Both are priced the same: $850 with an aesthetician, $1,000 with an RN, NP or physician. See the full microneedling pricing breakdown →
During a PRP with microneedling treatment, one of our expert providers at ZENA Medical will use a special device with tiny needles to penetrate the surface of your skin at various depths. The goal of the device will be to stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, which can both help you achieve younger-looking skin.
Then, we’ll take a sample of your blood and place it into a centrifuge to separate your rich plasma from the red and white blood cells. Lastly, we’ll spread the plasma over your face.
When a microneedling treatment is performed on its own, it can shrink large pores and minimize fine lines and wrinkles. By pairing it with PRP, you can expedite the healing process and reduce the duration of swelling and redness, two of the most common side effects of microneedling.
You may be a good candidate for PRP with microneedling:
A typical PRP with microneedling treatment can take anywhere between 30 and 45 minutes.
Patients treated with PRP with microneedling often see:
Since PRP with microneedling does not come with any downtime, you are free to resume work and your daily activities right away.
This treatment combines microneedling with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) — growth factors concentrated from a small sample of your own blood. As microneedling creates micro-channels, PRP is applied so those healing growth factors penetrate deeper, amplifying collagen production and skin renewal.
Often called the “vampire facial,” PRP microneedling improves skin tone and texture, softens fine lines and acne scars, and adds a healthy glow. Because it uses your own biology, it’s a natural approach with minimal risk of reaction.
A series of sessions gives the best results, with a day or two of mild redness afterward. At ZENA Medical in Newport Beach, PRP treatments are performed under the direction of board-certified dermatologist Dr. Zena Gabriel. Schedule a consultation to see if PRP microneedling is right for you.

Yes — because it uses your own biology, the risk of reaction is minimal.
PRF (platelet-rich fibrin) is prepared from your blood without anticoagulant and at a lower spin speed, leaving a fibrin matrix that releases growth factors more gradually than PRP. Neither is universally better — which one we use depends on what we’re treating, and both cost the same.
$850 per session with a licensed aesthetician and $1,000 with an RN, NP or physician, for either PRP or PRF. Most patients need three to six sessions, four to six weeks apart.
