PRP Vampire Facial
The PRP Vampire Facial is an excellent option for individuals who are
looking for a non-invasive and natural approach to skin rejuvenation. This treatment is especially effective for those who are looking to improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and acne scars and hyperpigmentation.
How Does PRP Facial Work?
The vampire facial process starts with a small sample of your blood being taken (from your arm). The blood sample is then processed through a centrifuge machine, which separates the blood into two layers. The red blood cells move to the bottom, while the plasma, which is full of protein and growth factors, rises to the top. This plasma can then be carefully micro needled into the skin to accelerate healing along with increasing collagen production and connective tissue formation, leading to skin tightening and overall rejuvenation.
The PRP treatment for face can take as little as 30 minutes, and it requires no downtime afterwards, meaning you can get back to your regular schedule as soon as possible. There are some minor side effects to be aware of, including slight redness and swelling, for a few days after the procedure. However, these will naturally subside

Benefits of a Vampire Facial
Increased Collagen Production
Around the age of 25, your body’s collagen production rate drops drastically. It continues to decline at a significant rate for the rest of your life unless you do something to stimulate its production rate. Moreover, the quality of the collagen produced drops. All of this results in visibly unhealthy skin.
Whether you’re dismayed by fine lines, moderate wrinkles or severe folds or you have other visible skin issues, there’s an excellent chance that a vampire facial will enhance the quality of your skin through increased collagen production. Collagen production is stimulated when skin cell trauma occurs. This occurs during a vampire facial when the minuscule needles penetrate the upper layers of your skin during the microneedling portion of your treatment.
As soon as your skin is penetrated, existing collagen starts to heal the skin. At the same time, your body starts to grow new, stronger, healthier collagen. This higher quality collagen takes a couple weeks to grow. However, you will notice immediate skin tightening. You’ll just notice that the results of your treatment continue to improve for several weeks after treatment.
Reduced Fine Lines and Wrinkles
Lines and wrinkles are among the most common reasons people seek a vampire facial. These common signs of aging are treated as cellular turnover is promoted. Old skin cells are recycled and new skin cells, collagen and elastin are formed. Fine lines and wrinkles are eliminated in part as your facial skin tightens naturally in response to the micro-injuries produced by treatment. The appearance of deeper folds is also diminished as hollow areas of your face are plumped up.
Tighter, Firmer Skin
As stated previously, collagen is also essential for tight, firm skin. As you age, your skin starts to sag, but wrinkles and lines don’t always form. Facial skin often thins with age, and certain parts of the face, like the lips and cheeks, are likely to become noticeably thin and gaunt. Regardless of your skin insecurities, be sure to ask how a vampire facial can help you achieve your ideal aesthetic.
Enhanced Skin Tone and Texture
If you have acne scars, surgical scars, scars from traumatic injury, hyperpigmentation and other forms of poor skin tone or texture, you can benefit from a facial enhanced with PRP. With old skin cells giving birth to new, healthy ones, you will be astounded by the mind-blowing improvement in the appearance of your skin just a few short days after one vampire facial.
It Doesn’t Hurt
Before your vampire facial begins, your facial skin is gently yet thoroughly cleansed. This ensures there is no dirt, dust, pollen, pollutant, makeup or any other imperfection on your skin that could cause a negative reaction to treatment. A local anaesthetic is then applied to the face if necessary. It’s true that the thin, delicate skin around your eyes, hairline and mouth is extremely sensitive. Yet while you may feel slight discomfort, you will not feel any pain.
Treatment Is Over Quickly
The PRP process may seem like it would take a while. First, your blood must be
drawn into syringes. Then, it has to be placed into a centrifuge and processed. It doesn’t take long at all to draw your blood. Then, it only takes ten minutes to run your blood through the centrifuge. Finally, the therapy itself only takes around 30 minutes.
Lasting Results
Some anti-aging treatments last only a week or two before you need to receive them again. Contrastingly, you only need to get a vampire facial every year or two to retain your youthful look. Even better, you need fewer treatments with a vampire facial than traditional micro needling to achieve your ideal aesthetic.

FAQ
What are Platelets?
Platelets are tiny cells found in the blood that contain important growth factors which are essential for wound healing, tissue regeneration and collagen production. Platelets are an element of blood, along with red and white blood cells. The platelets are the body’s “first responders” that stop the bleeding and encourage healing when a person gets a cut.
Is this treatment for me?
One of the most underrated benefits of a vampire facial is that it is right for nearly everyone. Prescription anti-aging ointments, creams and lotions can cause unwanted side effects depending on your skin type, allergies and other factors. A vampire facial, on the other hand, uses blood from your own body. There’s no chance of an allergic reaction. There’s no chance that your body will reject it as a foreign substance because it’s a native substance.
You may be a good candidate for a vampire facial if you:
Suffer from acne scars
Are afflicted by hyperpigmentation
Want to reduce fine lines and wrinkles
Want tighter, firmer skin
Have uneven skin tone
Are not ready for a facelift
Have dry skin
Feel your skin looks older than it should
Keep in mind, however, that people with certain clotting conditions requiring the regular use of blood thinners or other blood-related disorders are not the ideal candidate for a vampire facial.
What results can I expect?
It can take a few weeks before visible signs of rejuvenation and repair are seen. The process then continues over the following months. Best results are usually seen after a course of 3-6 treatments and can last for up to two years.
How many PRP vampire facial treatments will I need?
Generally, it is recommended that clients receive 3-6 treatments spaced 4 weeks apart. After the initial course of treatments, some patients may require maintenance treatments every 6-12 months in order to maintain the desired results.
How long does the treatment take?
You will usually be with us for 45 minutes. Your first appointment may be longer as it usually includes discussion of your concerns and treatment options.
