The PRP Facial merges microneedling with platelet-rich plasma for a non-invasive skin rejuvenation and refreshed complexion
A PRP Facial, also known as a Platelet-Rich Plasma Facia is an advanced, natural skin rejuvenation treatment that pairs microneedling with the healing power of your body’s own platelets. This treatment enhances collagen production, improves skin texture, and restores a healthy, radiant glow.
Your visit begins with a small blood draw. From this sample, we separate and concentrate the platelet-rich plasma, which is full of growth factors that help repair and rejuvenate the skin. Once prepared, a trained practitioner gently performs microneedling to create micro-channels in the skin. These tiny pathways allow the PRP to absorb deeply, where it can stimulate collagen, support tissue repair, and promote smoother, healthier-looking skin.
Often referred to as the “Vampire Facial,” this treatment is highly sought-after for its natural results, minimal downtime, and its ability to refresh the skin without surgery or synthetic products.

A PRP Facial is a cosmetic treatment that pairs microneedling with the application of Platelet‑Rich Plasma to naturally rejuvenate the skin. Platelet‑Rich Plasma is prepared from a small sample of your own blood and is rich in growth factors that help stimulate collagen production and support healthy skin renewal. During microneedling, tiny micro‑channels are created in the skin, allowing the PRP to absorb more effectively. This combination can help improve skin texture, soften fine lines, and promote a smoother, more refreshed appearance.
While individual pain tolerance varies, most people describe the procedure as tolerable. Before the treatment, a topical numbing cream is applied to minimize discomfort during microneedling. The sensation is often likened to a mild tingling or prickling.
The procedure typically takes about 60 to 90 minutes, including the time for the blood draw and preparation of the PRP. The actual microneedling and Platelet-Rich Plasma application portion usually takes around 30 to 45 minutes.
The number of sessions needed can vary based on individual goals and skin condition. Many people see noticeable improvements after just one session, but a series of treatments, often spaced several weeks apart, may be recommended for optimal and long-lasting results.
The downtime is minimal. You may experience mild redness and swelling immediately after the procedure, which usually subsides within a day. Some individuals may have pinpoint bleeding at the microneedling sites, but this is temporary. Most people can resume normal activities the same day or the day after, with the exception of avoiding strenuous exercise, sun exposure, and certain skincare products for a short period.
Results vary, but many individuals notice improvements in skin texture and appearance within a few weeks after the procedure. Collagen stimulation continues over the following months, leading to enhanced results. The longevity of results depends on various factors, including skincare habits, sun protection, and individual aging processes.
Side effects are generally mild and temporary, including redness, swelling, and pinpoint bleeding. Serious complications are rare, especially when the procedure is performed by a qualified and experienced practitioner. It's essential to follow post-treatment care instructions to minimize potential risks.
Maintaining results involves adopting a good skincare routine, including sun protection. Your practitioner may recommend specific skincare products to enhance and prolong the effects of the Vampire Facial. Additionally, periodic maintenance treatments may be advised based on individual needs and goals.
