A small pen with tiny, hair-fine needles makes thousands of invisible micro-channels in your skin — and your skin responds by rebuilding itself with fresh collagen. The result: smoother texture, softer lines, faded scars, and a real glow. No surgery, nothing artificial.
▶ Watch: one session = a year’s worth of collagen
Microneedling creates thousands of tiny, controlled micro-channels in the skin. That sounds dramatic — it’s actually a precise nudge that switches on your skin’s natural healing response and collagen production. What we apply next is where the magic multiplies.

Microneedling · texture & pores
Microneedling with PRP · tone & glow
Microneedling with PRP · acne & scarring
We cleanse and prep the skin, and walk you through exactly what the session will feel like. For PRP, a quick blood draw happens first.
A precise motorized device creates the micro-channels — quick, controlled, and far gentler than it sounds.
PRP or peptides go on while the channels are open, carrying growth factors deep into the skin. Expect some redness at first — then the glow builds over the following weeks as collagen rebuilds.
Twenty-five seconds, nothing staged — a real Beauty Bungalow session showing everything this page describes, in the order you’d experience it:
PRF (platelet-rich fibrin) is the next generation of PRP. We draw a small amount of your blood and spin it gently — no additives — so it keeps a natural fibrin matrix along with your platelets and growth factors. That golden layer can then be injected exactly where delicate skin needs rebuilding, most famously the under-eye area.
Because the fibrin forms a soft scaffold, it releases growth factors slowly over time — extending the regeneration your microneedling session starts, and adding a subtle, natural improvement in areas a needling pen treats less directly.
A pen-shaped device with tiny, hair-fine needles glides over the skin, creating thousands of invisible micro-channels. Your body treats each one as a signal to repair — producing fresh collagen, the protein that keeps skin smooth and firm. In fact, one session stimulates about as much collagen as your body naturally loses in a year. The channels close within hours; the rebuilding continues for weeks.
Both amplify the same collagen response. PRP uses your own platelet-rich plasma — your body’s growth factors — and is our most regenerative option. Peptides are a needle-phobe-friendly (no blood draw) serum alternative. Your provider will recommend one based on your skin and goals at consultation.
It’s gentler than it sounds — the channels are tiny and controlled. We prep your skin first and walk you through comfort options at your visit. Expect your skin to look flushed immediately after, like a light sunburn.
There’s often an early glow within days, but the real results build over the following weeks as your collagen rebuilds — this is a treatment that improves with a series.
Both start with a small draw of your own blood. PRP (platelet-rich plasma) is spun to concentrate platelets and applied over your microneedling channels. PRF (platelet-rich fibrin) is spun more gently with no additives, so it keeps a natural fibrin matrix — a soft scaffold that releases growth factors slowly over time. We inject PRF where delicate skin needs rebuilding, most famously the under-eye area.
Yes — that’s exactly how we recommend it. One blood draw can serve both: PRP or peptides over your microneedling, and PRF injected into targeted areas like the under-eyes. Ask at your consultation and we’ll build it into your plan.
Microneedling at Beauty Bungalow is a physician-directed medical treatment, performed under Dr. Sonia Badreshia-Bansal, MD, board-certified dermatologist.
