REGENERATIVE AESTHETICS
A Vampire Facial combines microneedling with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) from your own blood to stimulate collagen production, improve the appearance of fine lines and acne scars, and restore a smoother, more radiant complexion.
PRP + Microneedling | Natural Collagen Renewal
Model
Restore your skin’s natural radiance with a non-surgical treatment that harnesses the power of your body’s own regenerative factors.
The Vampire Facial is an advanced microneedling treatment enhanced with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) to improve skin texture, reduce fine lines, and promote collagen production for a healthy, youthful glow.
The Vampire Facial is a non-surgical skin rejuvenation treatment that combines microneedling with your body’s own platelet-rich plasma (PRP) to naturally boost collagen production and restore a healthy, youthful glow. Microneedling creates tiny channels in the skin, allowing PRP, rich in growth factors, to penetrate more deeply and stimulate healing from within.
This treatment improves texture, reduces fine lines, and enhances overall skin tone with minimal downtime.
The result is smoother, firmer, more radiant skin with improved texture, tone, and elasticity. This treatment is ideal for reducing fine lines, acne scars, and dullness, naturally, with minimal downtime and no synthetic ingredients.
Your treatment begins with a quick, in-office blood draw. Using a specialized centrifuge, your blood is processed to isolate platelet-rich plasma, the golden serum rich in growth factors and regenerative properties.
While the PRP is being prepared, your provider uses a precision microneedling device to create thousands of micro-injuries in the skin. These channels stimulate collagen production and allow the PRP to absorb more deeply and effectively. The PRP is then applied directly over the treated areas to accelerate healing, reduce redness, and enhance results.
The entire appointment takes approximately one hour. Most patients experience some redness immediately after, similar to a mild sunburn, but are able to return to normal activities within a day or two. Results continue to improve as collagen rebuilds over the following weeks.
At the core of the Vampire Facial is regenerative science. Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) contains concentrated platelets that release growth factors, including PDGF, TGF-β, and VEGF, which play a key role in tissue repair and cellular regeneration.
When combined with microneedling, which triggers the skin’s wound-healing cascade, these biologically active proteins enhance fibroblast activity, stimulate new collagen and elastin synthesis, and promote angiogenesis (the formation of new blood vessels).
The result is not just surface-level improvement, but true dermal remodeling that restores firmness, smoothness, and a radiant skin tone from within.
Combining PRP with microneedling enhances the skin’s natural renewal process, delivering visible improvements in texture, tone, and firmness.
By combining PRP with microneedling, the Vampire Facial stimulates natural skin regeneration using your body’s own healing mechanisms, no toxins, no fillers, just results.
You may begin to see improvement in skin texture and tone within the first few weeks. However, full collagen remodeling takes time, and results continue to improve over 2 to 3 months.
Most patients enjoy smoother, healthier-looking skin for 12 to 18 months or more, with many opting for annual maintenance treatments.
The Vampire Facial is a safe and effective treatment for anyone seeking skin rejuvenation without surgery or extensive downtime. It’s suitable for all skin types and ideal for those looking to address:

What is the downside of a Vampire Facial?
Most patients experience only mild side effects like redness, swelling, or pinpoint bruising, which typically subside within a few days. As with any cosmetic procedure, there is a small risk of infection or prolonged sensitivity, especially if proper aftercare is not followed.
How much does PRP cost?
PRP pricing can vary based on the provider, the area being treated, and whether it’s combined with other procedures like microneedling. During your consultation, your provider will outline treatment options and provide a detailed cost breakdown.
How long do the results last?
Results from a Vampire Facial typically begin to appear within a few weeks and continue to improve over 2 to 3 months. Many patients enjoy firmer, smoother, and more radiant skin for 12 to 18 months. Maintenance sessions can prolong your results.
Does your face peel after a Vampire Facial?
Some patients may experience mild flaking or peeling a few days after the treatment as the skin begins to renew itself. This is part of the natural exfoliation process and typically resolves quickly.
What age should you start getting Vampire Facials?
While there’s no specific age requirement, most patients begin treatments in their 30s or 40s to prevent or minimize early signs of aging. However, younger patients with acne scars or uneven texture may also benefit from the procedure.
Who should not get a Vampire Facial?
Patients with certain medical conditions, such as active infections, blood disorders, or autoimmune diseases, may not be candidates. If you’re pregnant, breastfeeding, or on blood-thinning medications, this treatment may not be recommended. Your provider will assess your medical history during your consultation.
Is there a downside to a Vampire Facial?
When performed by experienced providers, the procedure is very safe. The main downsides are temporary redness, swelling, or sensitivity. Serious complications are rare when aftercare instructions are properly followed.
What is the difference between microneedling with PRP and exosomes?
PRP uses your own blood to deliver natural growth factors that stimulate healing and collagen.
Exosomes are lab-derived stem cell messengers that deliver a concentrated boost of regenerative signals.
Both enhance microneedling, but exosomes may offer more targeted skin renewal.
