Treatment Overview
The PRP Facial, often called the vampire facial, combines microneedling with platelet‑rich plasma drawn from your own blood. The plasma is concentrated in a centrifuge and applied or injected into the micro‑channels, where its growth factors accelerate healing and collagen production well beyond microneedling alone.
It is our gold standard for non‑surgical rejuvenation and scar revision: aging skin, acne scarring, dull complexion and crepey texture on the face and neck all respond well. Because the plasma is your own, there is nothing synthetic and no risk of allergy.
How to Prepare
- Drink plenty of water the day before your blood draw
- Avoid anti‑inflammatories for a week if medically safe
- Eat a light meal before your appointment
- Stop retinoids three days before
What to Expect
- A small blood draw by our phlebotomist, then a short spin in the centrifuge
- Numbing cream while the plasma is prepared
- Microneedling with the Exceed device with PRP applied as we go
- Flushed skin for a few days, then a steady improvement in glow, texture and scarring
Aftercare
- No makeup for 24 hours
- Avoid sun, heat and sweat for 48 hours
- Use the gentle products we provide
- Expect mild redness for one to three days

Book TodayFrequently Asked Questions
How is this different from regular microneedling?
The needling is the same, but PRP floods the channels with your own growth factors. Patients heal faster and see a stronger improvement, especially for scarring.
Does the blood draw hurt?
It's the same as a routine lab draw and takes a minute. Our in‑house phlebotomist handles it.
How many sessions do I need?
Three sessions spaced four to six weeks apart for most concerns. Acne scarring may need more.
Is there downtime?
One to three days of redness and mild swelling. Avoid makeup for 24 hours.
Can I do this before an event?
Book at least two weeks ahead so the redness has cleared and the glow has arrived.
