Vampire Facial

A vampire facial is simply a microneedling treatment with the addition of platelet-rich plasma (PRP). PRP treatments are often used to support wound healing in trauma and joining injury, but they can also enhance hair restoration and other cosmetic procedures. PRP contains various growth factors that speed up the healing process and enhance the results of micro-needling.

PRP is a 3-step procedure that involves a dermatologist drawing blood, placing it into a machine that separates the platelets from the rest of your blood, and re-injecting or applying topically the blood that contains a high concentration of platelets into the patient’s face or scalp. When we opt for injections, we’re usually targeting areas, such as deep folds or acne scars, where the patient is looking for correction or improvement. When we apply the PRP topically, we usually spread it over the entire face. The procedure usually takes 45 minutes to an hour.
