PRP Face is a facial rejuvenation treatment powered by your own blood. A brief blood draw is processed in a centrifuge, separating out the platelet rich plasma that carries natural growth factors. That plasma is then delivered into facial skin, where it encourages collagen, supports repair and gradually refreshes tone and texture.
It suits dull skin, fine lines, uneven texture and early signs of aging in people who want a natural method without synthetic products. At our Merrick clinic, your provider chooses how the plasma is delivered, through shallow injections or paired with microneedling, based on your skin and concerns, and plans sessions around how your skin responds.

Questions About PRP Face
How is PRP Face different from PRP microneedling?
PRP Face centers on delivering your plasma to the skin, which can be done through shallow injections or with microneedling. PRP microneedling always includes the needling step for collagen induction. Your provider recommends the approach that fits your concerns and comfort.
How long until I see a difference?
Some patients notice a fresher glow within a couple of weeks. Changes in texture and fine lines build more slowly as collagen forms, often over several weeks to a few months, and a short series typically enhances the result.
Who should avoid PRP treatments?
PRP may not be suitable if you have certain blood or platelet disorders, an active skin infection or some cancers, or if you take specific blood thinning medications. Your provider reviews your medical history carefully before treatment to confirm PRP is appropriate.
Will I have marks after treatment?
You may see mild redness, slight swelling or small injection points for a day or two. These typically fade quickly, and many patients return to normal routines the next day. Planning treatment a week or more before an important event is a good idea.
What to Expect
Your visit begins with a skin assessment and a discussion of what you want to improve. While numbing cream settles on your face, your blood draw is prepared in the centrifuge. Your provider then delivers the plasma using the method chosen for your skin, working methodically across each area. Mild redness, swelling or tiny marks may appear and usually fade within a day or two. Keep skincare gentle and avoid makeup until the next day.
