The Microneedling with PRP at Oshun is performed by Dr. Charles Rockhead — platelet-rich plasma drawn from your own blood and microneedled into the skin to drive collagen, elasticity, and even tone. A sixty-minute visit, a build-up over four to twelve weeks, and a result that comes from the body you already have.

Every Microneedling with PRP at Oshun is placed by a board-certified Obstetrician and Gynaecologist. In most Caribbean clinics PRP intimate procedures are delegated to nurses or aestheticians. Dr. Rockhead is a physician first — and an OB/GYN second — so the anatomy is not new territory.
Three decades as a practicing OB/GYN at Amadeo Medical Group, the parent clinical practice. Every Microneedling with PRP plan is reviewed by a physician who has cared for women through pregnancy, surgery, perimenopause, and post-natal recovery — not just intimate-wellness appointments.
The active ingredient is platelet-rich plasma drawn from your own arm and processed on site in a medical centrifuge. There is no synthetic filler, no implanted material, no donor product. The body is asked to do what it already knows how to do, slightly more of it.
Each session is priced in writing before blood is drawn. No memberships, no obligatory multi-visit series, no "introductory packs" designed to lock you in before you know whether the first session was right. You pay for the session you want — nothing more.
The reason intimate PRP procedures sometimes go wrong is rarely the platform itself. PRP has been used in orthopaedics, dermatology, and wound healing for over two decades. The Microneedling with PRP protocol is well-defined. What goes wrong is how it gets delivered.
The common pattern across intimate-wellness clinics: PRP processed in a low-end centrifuge that yields weak plasma, placement delegated to a non-gynaecologist, no medical history taken beyond the consent form, no follow-up scheduled, and a "package of three" sold up front before anyone knows whether the first session was right for this patient.
At Oshun, we don't run that model. The four points above — OB/GYN placed, your own blood (nothing foreign), week-4 and week-12 follow-ups, written per-session quote — are how we replaced it. The rest of this page explains the alternative in plain language so you can decide whether it sounds like the right approach for you.

An Microneedling with PRP visit at Oshun takes about seventy-five minutes from the moment you walk in to the moment you walk out. Here is what happens in those seventy-five minutes.
A standard medical blood draw from your inner elbow — about 30 ml, the same kind of stick you'd have for a routine blood test. You sit in the consultation chair throughout. Small bandage on the way out.
Your blood is processed in our medical-grade centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich plasma layer — about 5–10 ml of golden PRP. While the centrifuge runs, the placement area is cleansed and a topical numbing cream is applied and given time to take full effect.
Dr. Rockhead places the PRP across the three target zones at standardized depths using a fine-gauge needle. Where additional local anesthetic is needed, it is given first. Each placement is the protocol written down at step one. Nothing is improvised; nothing is added without your spoken consent.
A brief rest, hydration, and a clear written aftercare card on the way out. You can drive yourself home and return to work the same day. Some patients notice mild cramping or a pinkish discharge for 24 hours. We email a check-in at week 4 and again at week 12.
Dr. Charles Rockhead, Medical Director — Oshun Cosmetic Services, Kingston.
Dr. Charles Rockhead is a board-certified Obstetrician and Gynaecologist with more than thirty years of practice in Kingston. He is the Medical Director of Oshun Cosmetic Services and the founding physician of Amadeo Medical Group, the parent clinical practice.
Every Microneedling with PRP at Oshun is performed by Dr. Rockhead personally — never delegated to nurses, technicians, or junior injectors. The same physician who takes your medical history is the one who draws your blood, processes the PRP, places it, and sees you back at the week-4 and week-12 follow-ups. That single-hand continuity matters more in intimate-wellness procedures than almost anywhere else in cosmetic medicine.
Most first-time patients arrive with the same set of unspoken questions. They are answered below in the order most people think them — from "how much will I need" to "what if I'm pregnant."
| What it is | The Microneedling with PRP ("Microneedling with PRP") is platelet-rich plasma (PRP) drawn from your own blood and placed in the tissues that govern intimate response. PRP is the platelet-and-growth-factor layer that separates out when a small sample of your blood is spun in a centrifuge. It is your body, asked to do what it already does — slightly more of it. |
|---|---|
| How long it's been around | The Microneedling with PRP protocol was developed by Dr. Charles Runels in 2010-2011 and has been performed in thousands of clinics globally since. PRP itself has been used in orthopaedics, dermatology, and wound healing for over two decades — the protocol simply applies that platform to intimate-wellness anatomy. |
| What we treat with it | Skin texture and tone, fine lines, dullness, mild acne scarring, post-inflammatory pigmentation (especially in skin of colour), and the cumulative "dull, tired" surface that signals years of UV and stress more than actual age. The Microneedling with PRP does not address volume loss — for volume restoration, the Vampire Facelift combines PRP with dermal filler in the same visit. |
| How much you'll get | A small blood draw of about 30 ml (six teaspoons, roughly half a standard blood tube) is processed in our centrifuge to yield about 5–10 ml of concentrated PRP. That PRP is then placed across the three target zones at standardized depths. One session per visit; some patients add a second session 8–12 weeks later if they want to layer the effect. |
|---|---|
| Will it hurt? | The intimate area is numbed with topical anesthetic and, where needed, a small infiltration of local anesthetic — most patients describe the placement as pressure rather than pain. The blood draw itself is a standard arm stick. There is no general anesthesia and no sedation required. |
| How long the visit takes | Plan for 60–90 minutes from arrival to walking out the door. Most of that time is the centrifuge processing of your PRP (about 15 minutes) and the numbing cream taking effect. The placement itself takes roughly five minutes. |
| Time off after | None for most patients. Some report a light pinkish discharge for 24 hours, occasional minor cramping for a few hours, and small bruising at the blood-draw site. You can drive yourself home and return to work the same day. |
| When you'll see results | The Microneedling with PRP is a regenerative treatment, not an instant one. Most patients begin to notice changes by week 4, with the fullest effect building through weeks 8–12. The benefit then plateaus and typically lasts 12–18 months before a second session is considered. The change is gradual, not a "before and after the same day" story — and that's the point. |
|---|---|
| The days before your visit | Hydrate well in the 24 hours before so the blood draw is easy. If it's medically safe for you, skip aspirin, ibuprofen, and other anti-inflammatory medications for about a week (NSAIDs can blunt the platelet activation we're relying on). Tell us about every medication and supplement you take, and let us know if there's any chance you may be pregnant. |
| Right after your visit | Avoid penetrative intimacy, tampons, and submerged baths or pools for 48 hours. Skip vigorous exercise for 24 hours. Drink water. Some patients notice mild cramping or warmth that settles within the first day. We email a check-in at week 4 and again at week 12. |
| Follow-up window | We see you back at the four-week and twelve-week marks to assess response. Some patients respond strongly to one session; some benefit from a second placement at the 8–12 week mark to layer the effect. If a second session is added it is billed at the standard per-session rate — there are no "free" follow-up injections because that pricing structure encourages under-treatment on the first visit. |
| Consultation policy | Every patient meets Dr. Rockhead in person at the 9 Devon Road clinic before any treatment is scheduled. Intimate-wellness procedures require a careful medical history and gynaecological review — virtual consultations are not currently offered. |
|---|---|
| Where treatments happen | Oshun Cosmetic Services, 9 Devon Road, Kingston, Jamaica. The blood draw, the centrifuge, and the PRP placement all happen in the same private treatment room. The same address, the same medical team, every visit. |
| What it costs | The Microneedling with PRP at Oshun is priced per session. At your consultation you'll receive a written quote with the session price and (if a follow-up session is recommended) the timing and the price of that second placement. We don't advertise a single number on the homepage because each patient's underlying picture is different. |
| How to pay | Cash, debit, credit card, or approved financing. |
| Insurance | The Microneedling with PRP is generally considered cosmetic/elective in Jamaica and is not covered by insurance. If your Microneedling with PRP is being used to support a documented medical issue (e.g. mild stress urinary incontinence with prior workup), we provide itemized receipts and the appropriate diagnostic codes that you can submit to your insurer yourself. |
| Who should not have the Microneedling with PRP | Patients who are pregnant or breastfeeding, who have an active pelvic infection, who have a bleeding disorder or are on therapeutic anticoagulation, who have an active blood cancer or platelet disorder, or who have an active gynaecological malignancy. Dr. Rockhead reviews your full medical history and (where appropriate) a recent gynaecological exam before anything is scheduled. |
The Microneedling with PRP isn't a one-size category — the right indication, the right timing in your reproductive life, and even whether to start at all depend on where you are. Below are the four patient profiles we see most often. If one sounds like you, an in-person consultation at 9 Devon Road is the next step.
Many patients report a quiet shift in intimate response in the year or two after vaginal delivery — less sensation, less natural lubrication, sometimes mild post-partum incontinence. The Microneedling with PRP is one of the few non-surgical options that addresses the underlying tissue rather than just the symptom.
The drop in oestrogen through perimenopause and menopause causes vaginal tissues to thin and dry. The Microneedling with PRP, alongside topical oestrogen where appropriate, can support tissue regeneration. It is not hormone replacement therapy — but it is one of the few procedures that addresses the structural side of the same problem.
Mild stress urinary incontinence (the small leaks during sneeze, cough, laugh, or jump) responds well to Microneedling with PRP placement in many patients. Moderate-to-severe incontinence requires a different conversation — Dr. Rockhead will tell you honestly which group you're in at consultation.
Patients with biopsy-confirmed lichen sclerosus sometimes add the Microneedling with PRP to support tissue regeneration alongside their dermatologist's primary treatment plan. The Microneedling with PRP is not a cure — it is a regenerative adjunct, and only considered when the dermatology team is on board.
Every Microneedling with PRP patient at Oshun starts with a consultation. Twenty minutes, in-person at 9 Devon Road, with Dr. Rockhead. No blood is drawn, no quote is signed, no pressure either way. You leave with a plan and a price — or you leave with neither.
