What Is a PRP Facial?
A PRP Facial, widely known as the Vampire Facial, is an advanced rejuvenation treatment that uses your body’s own Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) to stimulate healing, collagen production, and cellular regeneration.
Your blood is drawn, spun in a centrifuge to isolate the platelet-rich plasma, and then applied to the skin—often combined with microneedling—for powerful, natural rejuvenation with long-lasting benefits.
PRP is rich in growth factors that accelerate tissue repair, making it one of the most effective non-surgical treatments for restoring youthful, glowing skin.
How Does the Treatment Work?
1. Blood Collection
A small sample of your blood is drawn, similar to a routine blood test.
2. PRP Preparation
The blood is placed into a centrifuge, which separates the platelet-rich plasma from red blood cells.
3. Application to the Skin
The PRP is gently applied to your face. In many cases, it is infused using microneedling, allowing the PRP to penetrate deeper and enhance collagen regeneration.
4. Cellular Regeneration Begins
The growth factors in PRP stimulate tissue repair, new collagen formation, improved elasticity, and enhanced skin texture over time.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the PRP facial painful?
Most clients describe mild discomfort. Numbing cream can be used for comfort, especially when combined with microneedling.
How is this different from microneedling alone?
PRP significantly enhances healing, boosts collagen production, and accelerates visible skin improvements.
Is PRP safe?
Yes. Since PRP comes from your own blood, it reduces the risk of allergies or adverse reactions.
