The short answer
Microneedling with PRP at our Cashiers office pairs controlled micro-needling with platelet-rich plasma prepared from your own blood. A small sample is drawn and spun, then applied to freshly needled skin. It targets overall skin quality, texture and scarring across a course of sessions.
A short message is enough to get started. The team will reply with times and answer any questions first.

PRP appeals to patients who would rather not have anything foreign introduced into their skin. The material is prepared from a small sample of your own blood on the day, which removes the question of reaction to an external product and tends to make the conversation at consultation a shorter one.
At the Cashiers office it is most often chosen for overall skin quality rather than for one specific complaint – the general dullness and roughness that follows years of outdoor life on the plateau. Allow around an hour for the appointment, because the blood draw and the spin happen before the treatment starts.
This page is about microneedling with prp alone. our Cashiers, NC location covers the full range at this location.
Microneedling with PRP pairs controlled micro-needling with platelet-rich plasma drawn and spun from your own blood, so no foreign material is introduced.
The main microneedling with prp page goes further into mechanism, suitability and what the published evidence supports.
| Main concern | Often suggested | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Fine texture and dullness | Microneedling with PRP | Broad skin-quality effect without added heat |
| Acne scarring | Microneedling with RF or PRP | Both target the remodelling of scarred tissue |
| Laxity as well as texture | Microneedling with RF | Radiofrequency adds a deeper thermal effect |
| Preference to avoid a blood draw | Microneedling with RF | No sample is required |
| Sensitivity to added products | Microneedling with PRP | The material is prepared from your own blood |
| At the Cashiers office | Decided at your assessment, not from this table | Decided at your assessment, not from this table |
This is a common choice for patients who have reacted badly to skincare products in the past, and for anyone whose main concern is that their skin looks tired rather than lined. It also comes up for acne scarring, usually alongside a discussion of whether the radiofrequency route would suit better.
Patients on blood-thinning medication need that reviewed before a draw is scheduled, and anyone who finds blood draws difficult should say so at booking so the appointment can be planned accordingly.
Alongside this treatment, patients regularly ask about Juvederm for Cashiers patients and Lip Filler for Cashiers patients. Suitability for combining them is assessed individually.
The same treatment is offered in other markets we serve – see our Asheville Microneedling with PRP treatments.

Costs are not listed here because they are not uniform. The treatment chosen, the area, the amount of product and the number of visits all change the total. That total is given to you at consultation, before treatment is booked.
This is a physician-led practice. The assessment, the treatment plan and the treatment itself are carried out by Anita Dormer, MD, and the review afterwards is with the same clinician rather than whoever happens to be free.
Background on the practice is on the meet the team page.
A small blood sample is taken and spun in a centrifuge before treatment begins. Allow about an hour in total at the Cashiers office, rather than the thirty minutes a standard microneedling session takes.
It is a standard draw, comparable to any routine blood test. Being well hydrated before you drive over makes it easier, which is worth knowing if you are coming from Franklin or Lake Toxaway.
Neither is better in general terms – they do different things. PRP is chosen more often for overall skin quality; radiofrequency adds a deeper thermal effect that suits laxity. Which one is appropriate is decided at assessment.
This is a course treatment and change is gradual rather than immediate. Sessions are spaced several weeks apart and the effect builds over that period.
