The short answer
Microneedling with PRP at our Wake Forest location pairs controlled micro-needling with platelet-rich plasma prepared from a small sample of your own blood. It targets overall skin quality, texture and scarring, and is planned as a course of sessions rather than a single treatment.

Allow an hour for this appointment. The blood draw and the centrifuge run before treatment begins, and it is the step patients most often do not expect when they book. Being well hydrated beforehand makes the draw straightforward.
What draws people to PRP here is usually that nothing foreign is introduced into the skin. The material is prepared from your own blood on the day, which changes the risk conversation considerably.

In Wake Forest this is chosen most often for general skin quality rather than a single defined complaint – patients whose skin looks tired and rough rather than lined. Acne scarring is the other main driver.
It also suits patients with a history of reacting to skincare products. Anyone on blood-thinning medication needs that reviewed before a draw is scheduled, and anyone uncomfortable with blood draws should say so when booking.
Consultations here often cover what botox involves in Wake Forest and Juvederm treatment in Wake Forest, NC as well. What can safely be done in a single visit is decided at assessment.

Fees are quoted at consultation. Because treatment volume, area and session count all move the number, publishing a single price would only be accurate for a minority of patients. You will have the full figure before any decision is made.
Treatment planning here sits with Anita Dormer, MD. Being physician-led is not a marketing line – it changes who is deciding whether a requested treatment is actually the right one for you.
Background on the practice is on the meet the team page.

It is often chosen for that reason, since the plasma comes from your own blood. Standard microneedling effects – redness, swelling and, rarely, infection – still apply and are covered at consultation.
Change is gradual and builds across a course of sessions spaced several weeks apart. It is not a single-appointment treatment.
Whether treatments are combined, and in what order, is a clinical decision made at assessment based on your skin and what is being treated.
These are the published sources behind the clinical statements above. They set out general information, not guidance for any particular patient.
Book in for an assessment. You will get an honest view of what is achievable, and a plan only if one is warranted. Individual results vary.
