PRP Microneedling (Vampire Facial) 

A Powerful Treatment for Healthy, Glowing Skin

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) microneedling, also known as a vampire facial, is a minimally invasive skin treatment that combines the benefits of microneedling with the healing and regenerative properties of platelet-rich plasma (PRP).

ABOUT VAMPIRE FACIAL

WHAT IT IS

The Vampire Facial is a treatment option for patients interested in the rejuvenating properties of platelet rich plasma, also known as PRP. It is a minimally invasive treatment that can boost skin cell renewal and initiate collagen and elastin production to help improve a wide variety of skin concerns. 

HOW IT WORKS

Microneedling is a procedure that uses tiny needles to create micro-channels in the skin. This triggers the body's natural healing response, which produces collagen and elastin. Collagen and elastin are proteins that give the skin its structure and elasticity.

PRP is a concentrated solution of platelets, which are blood cells that contain growth factors and other healing factors. When PRP is applied to the skin, it can help to accelerate the healing process and promote tissue regeneration.

During a PRP microneedling treatment, a small amount of your blood is drawn and then spun in a centrifuge to separate the platelets from the other blood cells. The PRP is then applied to the skin and microneedled into the micro-channels.

WHAT TO EXPECT

When you come in for your appointment, a numbing cream will be applied and allowed to absorb before the procedure. One of our clinicians will then draw a small sample of blood and place it in our centrifuge to separate the plasma from the rest of the blood.
After the numbing cream has been allowed to set in, your clinician will remove it and apply a small amount of your PRP to your face. As the microneedling device is passed over the treatment area, it creates tiny micro channels, allowing the PRP to be absorbed deep within the skin to initiate new skin cell production and boost collagen.
