PRP Vampire Facial

What is a PRP Vampire Facial?

A PRP Platelet-Rich Plasma facial, also known as a Vampire facial, is a cosmetic treatment that involves the use of the patient's own blood to rejuvenate their skin. This facial has gained popularity among celebrities and beauty enthusiasts due to its natural and impressive results.

During a PRP facial, a small sample of the patient's blood is drawn and placed into a centrifuge machine. This machine spins the blood to separate the platelets from the other blood components. Platelets are rich in growth factors, which help to stimulate cell growth and repair damaged tissues. The resulting plasma is then reintroduced into the patient's skin via a series of microinjections.

The PRP facial is effective in treating a variety of skin concerns, including wrinkles, fine lines, sun damage, and acne scars. The treatment encourages collagen production, which leads to firmer, more youthful-looking skin. It also improves skin texture and tone, resulting in a smoother and brighter complexion.

A PRP facial is an effective and natural way to rejuvenate the skin and achieve a more youthful and radiant appearance. With minimal downtime and impressive results, this treatment is becoming increasingly popular among those seeking a non-surgical solution to their skincare concerns.

Treatment Benefits

  • Promotes collagen production and skin rejuvenation.
  • Improves the overall texture and appearance of your skin.
  • Can help reduce fine lines and wrinkles, minimise the appearance of scars, and even out skin tone.
  • Is an ideal option for individuals with sensitive skin or those who are allergic to other facial treatments. Since platelet-rich plasma is extracted from a person's own blood, there is virtually no risk of an allergic reaction or rejection by the body.
  • Promotes healing and recovery in the skin. The growth factors in PRP can help to soothe and calm the skin, reducing inflammation and redness, and speeding up the healing process.
  • Studies have shown PRP to be effective in treating a variety of medical conditions, such as acne, rosacea, and even hair loss. This is because the growth factors in PRP can help to stimulate cellular regeneration and improve circulation, which promotes healing and helps to restore the skin's natural balance.

We recommend a course of four treatments for optimal results.

What to Expect During Treatment

The procedure begins with a small amount of blood being drawn from your arm, which is then transferred into a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich plasma (PRP) from the red blood cells. Then, using a micro-needling device, the PRP is applied to your face, creating tiny punctures in your skin to allow for optimal absorption and stimulation of collagen and elastin production.

The procedure itself typically takes around an hour to complete, and you may experience some mild discomfort during it. However, most patients find the procedure to be tolerable and comfortable.

Immediately following the procedure, you may experience some minor swelling, redness, and bruising, but these should subside within a few hours to a few days. It's important to avoid direct sun exposure and to apply sunscreen regularly during the healing process.

Results can typically be seen within a few weeks to a few months after the procedure, and most patients report a noticeable improvement in the texture, tone, and overall appearance of their skin.
