These real patient transformations highlight the results of the Vampire Facial, also known as the Vampire Facelift®, a non-surgical rejuvenation treatment performed by Dr. Balikian’s expertly trained aesthetic team.
This advanced technique uses microneedling, platelet-rich plasma (PRP), and dermal fillers to restore natural volume, improve skin tone, and smooth fine lines.
Each result reflects our commitment to subtle, natural-looking enhancement. By activating the body’s own collagen production and combining it with skillfully placed filler, the Vampire Facial delivers radiant, refreshed skin without surgery or significant downtime.
The Vampire Facial is a powerful, natural approach to skin rejuvenation that uses your body’s own platelet-rich plasma to improve tone, texture and overall skin quality. It is designed to stimulate collagen, enhance cellular renewal and restore a healthier, more radiant complexion without adding volume or altering facial structure.
At Balikian Plastic Surgery’s Med Spa, Vampire Facial treatments are never one-size-fits-all. Each treatment plan is customized based on your skin concerns, texture, sensitivity and long-term goals. Our approach focuses on improving skin health at a cellular level, helping the skin look clearer, smoother and more vibrant while preserving its natural character.
What sets our Med Spa apart is the integration of medical precision and aesthetic judgment. Vampire Facial treatments are performed with the same principles that guide Dr. Balikian’s surgical philosophy: natural improvement, balance and results that age well over time.
Key Advantages of Our Vampire Facial Approach
Patients choose our Med Spa because they want healthier, more youthful-looking skin that still looks like their own. Each Vampire Facial is performed with long-term skin quality in mind, avoiding aggressive treatments that can compromise the skin over time.
The Vampire Facial works by stimulating collagen production and accelerating the skin’s natural repair process. Results develop gradually as the skin heals and regenerates.
As results develop:
Improvements continue to evolve in the weeks following treatment as collagen strengthens. Many patients see the best results when the Vampire Facial is part of a personalized skin rejuvenation plan designed to support long-term skin health.
What results can a Vampire Facial improve most reliably?
Research on platelet-rich plasma (PRP) in aesthetic dermatology most consistently reports improvements in overall skin appearance such as texture quality, glow, and collagen-related changes, with variable effects across different concerns depending on technique and protocol.
How soon will I see results?
Many patients notice early “radiance” or smoother texture within the first 1 to 2 weeks, but collagen-related improvements typically develop more gradually over the following weeks, with studies commonly assessing outcomes around 12 to 24 weeks.
How long do Vampire Facial results last?
Duration depends on skin condition, age, sun exposure, and whether you complete a series plus maintenance. Reviews describe PRP-based rejuvenation as well tolerated with outcomes that may persist for months, but long-term durability varies because protocols and follow-up periods differ between studies.
How many sessions usually produce the best results?
Most clinical protocols evaluate PRP-based rejuvenation and PRP combined with microneedling as a series rather than a single treatment, commonly performed over multiple sessions, then reassessed weeks to months later. Your best plan depends on whether the goal is texture, fine lines, or acne-related concerns.
Does adding microneedling change the results?
Evidence suggests that pairing microneedling with PRP can enhance outcomes for certain concerns by combining collagen stimulation from microneedling with growth factor signaling from PRP. This combination is frequently discussed in acne-scar literature and studied in facial aging protocols.
Can a Vampire Facial help acne scars or post-acne texture?
Yes, PRP plus microneedling is commonly reviewed as an option for atrophic acne scarring, with multiple studies reporting improved scar appearance compared with microneedling alone, although results vary by scar type and number of sessions.
What about fine lines and photoaging?
Split-face randomized trials and reviews suggest PRP-based treatments can improve overall photoaging measures and skin condition, with some studies showing modest differences between platelet products and specific wrinkle depths.
Will it change my facial shape like filler does?
No. A Vampire Facial is generally described as a skin-quality treatment. It is aimed at tone, texture, and collagen signaling rather than adding structural volume the way dermal fillers do.
Is it safe, and what side effects are most common?
Across reviews of autologous platelet concentrates for facial rejuvenation, PRP is generally described as safe and well tolerated. The most common short-term effects are temporary redness, swelling, pinpoint bleeding, and bruising, which are largely related to the microneedling or injection technique rather than PRP itself.
Why do results vary between people?
The biggest reason is lack of standardization. Studies repeatedly note wide variation in PRP preparation methods, platelet concentration, activation, application technique, and treatment schedules, which can meaningfully change outcomes.
