Description
PRP facials (Platelet-Rich Plasma), often referred to as a “Vampire Facial” uses the patient's own plasma to naturally stimulate collagen and elastin production. This is a non-surgical facial that uses your own blood to help promote the healthy activity of your skin cells.

How It Works
The platelets in your blood contain high levels of growth factors which stimulate cell turnover when applied to the skin. Platelets are also rich in human growth factors which act as energy boosts for our skin. Key benefits are increased production of collagen, elastin, while also conducting antioxidant and hydrating properties.

FAQ
What is a PRP Vampire facial?
A PRP Vampire facial is a SkinPen microneedling treatment paired with the use of your own natural platelet-rich plasma. It requires a quick draw of your blood to extract the platelets from your body. The platelets are then pushed into the tiny channels of your skin for absorption.
What do PRP Vampire facials treat?
Uneven skin tone, skin texture, aging skin
What is the PRP facial or Vampire facial procedure like?
The treatment begins with a blood draw to obtain the blood. It's relatively painless since a very small needle is used. The blood is then run through a centrifuge (blood spinning machine) to isolate the platelets. You'll then receive a light microdermabrasion to prep the skin. Numbing cream is applied to the treatment area. Once you are numb, we will start microneedling with our SkinPen. Microneedling creates tiny channels in the skin for PRP to be pushed into.
How long is a PRP Vampire facial treatment?
The treatment takes a total of approximately 60 minutes.
How long is recovery?
It might take a day or two of downtime depending on how aggressive the treatment was on your skin. You'll emerge from treatment a bit red, almost like a sunburn. Makeup is discouraged for 24 hours after treatment.
How many PRP facials are recommended?
We typically recommend 4 treatments, 4 weeks apart.
What does maintenance look like?
Maintenance is not required but you may wish to receive 2 treatments a year to maintain optimal results.
