Our PRF Microneedling Process
Step 1
Arrive on Time
We prefer that you arrive on time for your appointment so we can ensure you can enjoy every part of the facial experience. You are able to fill out most required forms online when you book your appointment, so if you book online, you should not have to arrive early for paperwork.
Step 2
Relax & Enjoy
Trust that you are in the hands of an experienced member of our esthetician team, and just take this time to enjoy the facial process. You’ll have about 1 hour to sit back, relax, and enjoy the pampering from PRF Microneedling in Pittsburgh while we have some gentle, relaxing music play.
Step 3
Leave Refreshed
The results of PRF Microneedling will take about 4–6 weeks to fully emerge, but you can expect to enjoy them for at least a year and a half. And if you love your facial, always feel free to reschedule! You can request the same esthetician if you’d like, but no matter who you schedule with, know you’ll be with a skilled Your Skin Prescription team member.
