PRF Microneedling in Davie, FL
Microneedling with platelet-rich fibrin from your own blood, done by Dr. Paul Garcia in our CARE Esthetics suite.Smoother Skin From Your Own Healing
At GEN2 Dentistry in Davie, FL, Dr. Paul Garcia offers PRF microneedling through CARE Esthetics. He uses a DermaPen to open tiny channels in the skin, then works in platelet-rich fibrin made from a small sample of your own blood, so your skin can build fresh collagen with nothing synthetic added.
How the treatment feels from the chair
Microneedling sounds more intense than it is, and most people are surprised by how calm the visit feels. We start with a numbing cream on your skin, then Dr. Garcia glides the DermaPen across your face with a sterile, single-use tip of twelve very fine needles. He sets the depth for each area, from a fraction of a millimeter up to about two millimeters, depending on how thin or thick the skin is there, and the treatment itself takes around twenty minutes.
Adding PRF where your skin can use it
Before we begin, we draw a few small tubes of blood, the same quick pinch as routine lab work, and spin them in our Bio-PRF centrifuge for about eight minutes. The golden layer that rises to the top is your PRF, and Dr. Garcia works it into those tiny channels as he goes, so the growth factors your body already uses to heal reach your skin directly. He has used PRF in implant and gum surgery for twelve or thirteen years, and this is the same biology, now for your face.
Planning a series that fits your life
Collagen builds gradually, so PRF microneedling works as a short series: three visits about four weeks apart, then a touch-up every six months to a year to keep your skin looking fresh. Your skin may look pink and feel tight for a short while afterward, a lot like a mild sunburn, and we are happy to help you time your visits around anything important on your calendar.
Setting honest expectations from the start
PRF microneedling refreshes the texture and glow of your skin, and Dr. Garcia is the first to say it is not a facelift or a one-session miracle. It also works on different things than Botox, which relaxes the muscles behind expression lines, or a filler, which restores lost volume. If those are part of what you hope to change, we will talk through Botox or dermal fillers alongside it.

What patients ask us
What can PRF microneedling help with?
Most people come to us about texture: fine lines, enlarged-looking pores, acne scars, sun spots, or skin that has lost some of its glow. The tiny channels prompt your skin to make more collagen and elastin, and the PRF gives that process a boost. At your consultation, Dr. Garcia looks at your skin and tells you honestly whether microneedling fits what you hope to change.
Does PRF microneedling hurt?
We put a numbing cream on your skin first and give it time to work, so most people feel a light vibration and some pressure more than anything sharp. The blood draw beforehand feels like routine lab work. If anything feels uncomfortable along the way, tell Dr. Garcia and he will adjust.
What will my skin look like afterward?
Expect some pinkness and a tight feeling, much like a mild sunburn, that fades as your skin settles. We send you home with simple aftercare instructions in writing, and we are a phone call away if you have questions while your skin recovers.
Can I book PRF microneedling with my cleaning?
Yes, and many patients like having it all done in one trip. We can put the numbing cream on before your cleaning, so your skin is ready by the time your hygienist is finished. Plan on the microneedling adding about an hour to your visit, including the blood draw and the spin.
Frequently asked questions
How much does PRF microneedling cost in Davie, FL?
Your cost depends on how many sessions your plan includes and whether we pair microneedling with another treatment, so we never quote one number for everyone. At your consultation in our Davie office, Dr. Garcia recommends a plan and gives you the full cost before anything begins, so you can decide with every number in front of you.
How many PRF microneedling sessions will I need?
Most patients start with three sessions about four weeks apart, because collagen builds gradually and each visit adds to the last. After that, a touch-up every six months to a year helps keep your skin looking fresh. Dr. Garcia adjusts the plan to your skin when he sees you at GEN2 in Davie.
Is the DermaPen safe for my skin?
The DermaPen is FDA-cleared for microneedling, and every treatment uses a new, sterile, single-use needle tip that is thrown away afterward. Dr. Garcia sets the depth for each area of your face, staying shallow where your skin is thin. Before we book, we go over your health history at your Davie consultation.
Where does the PRF come from?
It comes from you. We draw a few small tubes of your blood at the start of the visit and spin them in our Bio-PRF centrifuge for about eight minutes. The golden layer that rises to the top is the PRF, so nothing synthetic or borrowed goes onto your skin at GEN2 in Davie.
When will I notice a difference after PRF microneedling?
Many people see a fresher look within days, once the pinkness settles. The deeper change comes from new collagen, which your skin builds gradually in the weeks after each session, so your skin tends to look better as the series goes on. Dr. Garcia checks your progress at every visit in our Davie office.
