What are PRP Facial or Vampire Facials?
A PRP facial, also known as a facial vampire, is an innovative skincare treatment technique that takes advantage of the body's natural healing ability. It is also referred to as a facial vampire because it involves drawing the blood. Your blood is comprised of four main components: red blood cells, white blood cells, plasma cells, and platelets.
When the plasma platelets are concentrated, magic occurs. In order to achieve concentrated plasma platelet levels, the four components of your blood are divided by density. Platelets are then pumped into the plasma, excluding red and white blood cells.

Who is a candidate?
One of the most underestimated advantages of a facial vampire is that it's perfect for almost everybody. Prescriptions, such as anti-aging ointments, creams, and lotions, can cause harmful side effects depending on your skin type, allergies, and other factors. A facial vampire, on the other hand, uses blood from your own body. There is no risk of an allergic reaction. There is no risk that your body would reject it as a foreign substance because it is a native substance.
You might be a successful facial vampire candidate if you:
- Suffering from acne marks
- Are affected by hyperpigmentation
- Want to lower the fine lines and wrinkles
- Want to tighter, firmer skin
- Have a rough skin tone
- Don't get ready for a facelift.
- Get your skin dry
- Feel the skin is older than it should be.
People with some clotting problems involving daily blood thinners or other blood-related disorders are not suitable candidates for facial vampires. In addition, you are not an ideal candidate if you expect this treatment to provide the same results as a facelift.
Is there any downtime after a PRP Facial treatment?
With conventional microneedling, you will experience severe redness for 5 to 7 days. You will remove this downtime by adding platelet-rich plasma to your treatment. Thanks to PRP, the "micro-injuries" caused by the microneedling are effectively healed as soon as they are inflicted.
What are the side effects or risks with PRP Facial?
The PRP process can seem to take a while. Your blood needs to be drawn into the syringes first. It must then be put in a centrifuge and processed. This method includes washing the blood so that it is ready for transfer and injection and separating the blood components by mass. It doesn't take a long time to draw your blood. It just takes three to five minutes to get the blood into the centrifuge. Finally, the procedure itself can only take between 30 and 60 minutes depending on the size and amount of places you are attempting to treat.
