Vampire Facial or PRP (platelet-rich plasma) therapy is a skin rejuvenation treatment. It is often called a “Vampire Facial" because it uses the patient’s own blood. Platelets found in plasma are removed from a sample of the patient’s blood, then injected into areas of the face to rejuvenate your skin.
The plasma, when injected into specific areas of the skin, acts as a booster that promotes collagen to grow, regenerates tissue, and thus will help naturally smooth and tighten the skin.
The treatment is non-invasive and patients can resume normal activity almost immediately after the procedure.
Blood is collected from you in 1-2 specially designed tubes which are then centrifuged for 5-10 minutes.
During centrifugation, a patented gel within the tubes isolates PRP from other unrequired cells within the blood.

This treatment involves the use of an ‘aerating’ MicroPen for microneedling or collagen induction therapy.
The MicroPen is used to gently aerate the skin, and then a topical cream is applied serums or skincare products.
The tiny micro-perforations made by the MicroPen allow for easier absorption of serum, product or even your own Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP); hence the name Vampire Facial. The MicroPen has proven extremely useful in the treatment of skin scarring, acne, sun damage and a host of other skin care procedures.
