Natural Skin Rejuvenation at Coal Harbour Naturopathic & Aesthetic Clinic
If you’re looking for a powerful, natural way to rejuvenate your skin, restore collagen, and achieve a brighter, smoother complexion, PRP Microneedling has become one of the most sought-after treatments in Vancouver. At Coal Harbour Naturopathic & Aesthetic Clinic, this advanced procedure is performed by licensed Naturopathic Doctors who understand the science of skin healing, collagen stimulation, and regenerative medicine.
PRP Microneedling is ideal for patients who want impactful results without synthetic fillers or injectables—just your own platelets amplifying your skin’s natural repair process.
What Is PRP Microneedling?
PRP Microneedling combines two powerful treatments:
1. Microneedling
A device with ultra-fine needles creates controlled micro-injuries in the skin. This triggers the body’s natural wound-healing response, stimulating collagen and elastin production.
2. Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)
A small sample of your blood is processed to isolate platelet-rich plasma—one of the most regenerative substances in your body. PRP is rich in growth factors that accelerate tissue repair, improve cell turnover, and boost collagen synthesis.
When PRP is applied to skin immediately after microneedling, it penetrates deeper layers, dramatically enhancing the rejuvenation process.
How PRP Benefits the Skin
PRP Microneedling is known for its ability to:
Improve skin texture and tone
Minimize fine lines and wrinkles
Reduce acne scars and surgical scars
Brighten dull, tired-looking skin
Fade pigmentation and sun damage
Tighten and firm the skin
Reduce pore size
Improve overall skin quality and smoothness
Because PRP comes from your own body, it is highly compatible and has an extremely low risk of adverse reactions—making it a preferred treatment for patients seeking natural yet powerful results.

What Skin Concerns Does PRP Microneedling Treat?
At Coal Harbour Naturopathic & Aesthetic Clinic, PRP Microneedling is commonly used to treat:
– Acne scarring
Breakouts may fade, but scars often linger. PRP boosts collagen production to remodel scar tissue and smooth uneven texture.
– Early signs of aging
Fine lines, crepey skin, and loss of firmness improve significantly after a series of treatments.
– Hyperpigmentation and sun damage
Repeated sun exposure can create dullness and dark spots. PRP encourages healthier, more even-toned skin.
– Large pores and uneven texture
Microneedling tightens the skin, making pores appear smaller and texture more refined.
– Dull or dehydrated skin
PRP enhances radiance and hydration levels from deep within the skin.
Why Choose PRP Instead of Traditional Microneedling?
Microneedling alone is effective, but PRP elevates the treatment by accelerating healing and collagen synthesis.
**Microneedling stimulates collagen.
PRP supercharges collagen.**
PRP contains high concentrations of growth factors such as:
PDGF (platelet-derived growth factor)
VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor)
TGF-beta (transforming growth factor)
EGF (epidermal growth factor)
These compounds enhance tissue repair and boost dermal regeneration, leading to smoother, firmer, healthier skin.
Patients also notice faster recovery times, less redness, and more dramatic results compared to microneedling alone.
Is PRP Microneedling Safe?
Yes—PRP Microneedling is considered extremely safe when performed by trained medical professionals. At Coal Harbour, all treatments are provided by licensed Naturopathic Doctors with advanced certification in aesthetic procedures.
Because PRP comes from your own blood:
There is no risk of allergic reaction
The procedure is biocompatible and natural
Healing is improved and downtime is reduced
Our clinic follows strict medical protocols to ensure sterilization, safety, and optimal results.

Downtime: What Is Recovery Like?
Most patients experience:
Mild redness
Slight swelling
A feeling similar to a light sunburn
These effects usually last 24–48 hours. Some dryness or light flaking may occur as the skin regenerates.
Over the next several weeks, collagen production increases, and skin texture becomes noticeably smoother and more radiant.
How Many PRP Microneedling Sessions Do You Need?
For optimal results, we typically recommend:
3 treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart
Maintenance sessions 1–2 times per year
However, treatment plans may vary depending on your goals and skin condition.
Who Is a Good Candidate for PRP Microneedling?
This treatment is excellent for individuals who:
Prefer natural, regenerative skin rejuvenation
Want to avoid fillers or more invasive procedures
Have acne scars, pigmentation, or uneven texture
Are noticing early signs of aging
Want brighter, firmer, smoother skin
Seek long-term improvements instead of temporary effects
It is suitable for most skin tones and types.
PRP Microneedling vs. PRP Facial — What’s the Difference?
A PRP Facial refers to applying PRP topically after microneedling, while PRP Microneedling (sometimes called a “Vampire Facial”) involves microneedling PRP deeper into the skin.
At Coal Harbour, we perform medical-grade PRP Microneedling using high-quality devices and strict medical standards for maximum collagen stimulation and visible results.
