Procedure steps overview
PRF and PRP microneedling begins with a small blood draw from the client. The sample is then processed in a centrifuge to concentrate platelets and fibrin into a biologically active preparation. That concentrated material is applied to the skin while a microneedling device creates tiny channels to assist delivery. Duration: 135 minutes. Price: $0.
During the session the practitioner coordinates blood processing with the microneedling steps so the concentrated cells are fresh at application. The technique relies on your own blood’s growth factors rather than external products; what shapes the result includes baseline skin condition, healing response, and adherence to aftercare instructions. No specific outcome can be guaranteed.
Preparation and safety steps
Before treatment we review medical history and current medications, including blood thinners and supplements that affect bleeding or healing. Because the treatment uses your own blood, the risk of allergic reaction to biologic material is minimized, but suitability still depends on individual health factors that the provider must assess.
The clinic follows standard sterile handling for blood draws and topical application; trained staff process the concentrate and perform microneedling. You will receive specific pre- and post-procedure instructions to reduce infection risk and support recovery. Any active skin infection or open wound in the treatment area will typically delay treatment until it resolves.
Aftercare and local factors
Expect temporary redness, mild swelling, and increased skin sensitivity after the session; these are normal signs of the controlled skin response. The treated skin will gradually undergo remodeling as platelet-derived factors participate in repair processes over weeks. Individual timelines vary and depend on skin type and other health factors.
Lotus Skin Care Center’s Massapequa location on the Merrick Road commercial corridor is convenient for commuters—steps from the Massapequa LIRR—so clients often plan appointments around work or family schedules. The local coastal climate and outdoor lifestyle make sun protection and scheduling around outdoor activities relevant considerations when planning sessions.
