The Vampire Facial®
A licensed regenerative treatment combining medical microneedling with platelet-rich plasma derived from your own blood, for skin that looks smoother, brighter and more alive.
Collagen induction meets your own platelet biology.
The Vampire Facial® is a regenerative aesthetic procedure that combines medical microneedling with platelet-rich plasma, or PRP, prepared from a small sample of your own blood.
Microneedling creates precise microchannels that activate the skin’s natural repair response. Your concentrated PRP is then incorporated into the protocol, bringing platelets and their signaling proteins into the treatment experience.
Together, these complementary processes support collagen remodeling, smoother-looking texture and a brighter complexion. The result is not a different face. It is a more renewed version of your own skin.
A dual-action treatment: controlled stimulation on the surface, regenerative signaling from within.
Two biological signals. One intentional protocol.
The Vampire Facial® brings together mechanical collagen induction and autologous platelet signaling. Microneedling initiates a controlled wound-healing cascade, while PRP provides a concentrated source of platelet-derived growth factors and signaling proteins involved in tissue repair.
Explore the PRP EvidenceMedical microneedling creates controlled microchannels at settings selected for your skin, initiating the wound-healing response.
Controlled microchannels are created
Medical microneedling delivers a measured stimulus at settings selected for your skin and treatment goals.
PRP is prepared from your blood
A small sample is centrifuged to isolate the platelet-rich fraction used during the treatment.
Repair signaling is supported
Platelet-derived signaling molecules complement the skin’s natural response to controlled microneedling.
Remodeling develops progressively
Radiance may appear early, while changes in texture and collagen quality evolve over the following weeks.
Renew texture, tone and visible vitality.
The Vampire Facial® is designed for patients who want a regenerative approach to overall skin quality. Your consultation determines whether the treatment aligns with your skin, timeline and priorities.
Rough or Uneven Texture
Supports progressive refinement where the skin appears less smooth or polished.
Selected Acne Scars
May improve the appearance of certain atrophic acne scars through collagen remodeling.
Visible Pore Appearance
May refine overall surface texture and soften the appearance of enlarged pores.
Fine Visible Lines
Targets early textural aging around the eyes, mouth and other appropriate facial areas.
Dull or Uneven-Looking Skin
Supports a brighter, more refreshed overall complexion.
Visible Photodamage
May be incorporated into a broader plan for skin affected by cumulative sun exposure.
From blood draw to skin renewal.
The treatment is completed during one coordinated appointment. Every step, from PRP preparation to microneedling depth, is selected and performed as part of the licensed protocol.
- 01
Assess
We evaluate your skin, goals, health history and treatment timing.
- 02
Collect & Prepare
A small blood sample is drawn and centrifuged to isolate your PRP.
- 03
Numb & Treat
The skin is prepared and treated with medical microneedling at individualized settings.
- 04
Apply PRP
Your PRP is incorporated into the microneedling treatment according to the protocol.
- 05
Recover & Remodel
Visible redness settles while the regenerative response continues to develop.
A short recovery. A longer renewal process.
Immediately after treatment, the skin commonly looks red and may feel warm, tight or sensitive, similar to a sunburn. Mild swelling, dryness or light flaking may follow as the surface recovers.
An early glow may become noticeable after the initial redness settles. A personalized series may be recommended for more established concerns.
- Treatment DayRedness, warmth, tightness and sensitivity are expected.
- Days 1 to 3Redness begins to settle; dryness, mild swelling or flaking may occur.
- Following WeeksSkin renewal and collagen remodeling continue beyond visible recovery.

Know what to expect.
Is a Vampire Facial® the same as a Vampire Facelift®?
No. The Vampire Facial® combines PRP with microneedling and primarily targets skin quality. The Vampire Facelift® is a different branded procedure that combines PRP injections with hyaluronic-acid dermal filler for facial rejuvenation and contour.
Does the treatment hurt?
A topical numbing agent is generally used before microneedling. Most patients feel pressure, vibration or prickling, with sensitivity varying by facial area and treatment intensity.
How much downtime should I expect?
Redness is common for one to three days. Individual recovery varies, so allow additional time before an important event.
When will I see results?
Many patients notice a fresh glow after the initial recovery period. Because collagen remodeling takes time, improvements in texture and overall skin quality may continue developing over the following weeks.
How many Vampire Facial® treatments will I need?
A single treatment may be appropriate for general renewal, while a series may be recommended for acne scarring, more established texture concerns or a progressive skin-maintenance plan. Your provider will recommend the appropriate schedule after assessment.
Who may not be a candidate?
Active infection, inflamed skin, certain blood or platelet disorders, impaired healing, pregnancy, some medications and other clinical factors may require postponement or an alternative treatment. Your provider will review candidacy before proceeding.
