A Vampire Facial, also known as a PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) Facial, involves using your own blood's platelets to enhance skin rejuvenation. Blood is drawn by one of our nurses, processed to concentrate the platelets, and then both re-injected and topically placed into the skin to stimulate collagen production and improve skin texture.
How does a Vampire Facial work?
Blood is drawn from your arm and processed in a centrifuge to separate the platelets. The PRP is then injected into the skin using both microneedling and injections, which stimulates collagen and elastin production and enhances skin texture and tone.
What skin issues can a Vampire Facial address?
The Vampire Facial can improve skin texture, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, diminish acne scars, and enhance overall skin tone and firmness.
Treatment Details

Is the procedure painful?
Most patients experience mild discomfort. A topical numbing cream is applied before the treatment to help minimize any pain during the procedure.
How many sessions are needed for optimal results?
For best results, 4 sessions are generally recommended, spaced about 4 to 6 weeks apart. Your nurse will tailor the treatment plan based on your skin goals.
