Vampire Facial®
A Vampire Facial is a cosmetic procedure that combines microneedling with the application of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) to rejuvenate and revitalise the skin.
During the treatment, a small sample of the patient's blood is drawn and processed to isolate the platelet-rich plasma, which is then applied to the skin following microneedling.
The platelet-rich plasma contains growth factors that promote collagen production, improve skin texture, and enhance overall skin quality. The microneedling component of the treatment creates channels into the dermis to facilitate delivery of the growth factors.
Vampire Facials are popular for addressing concerns such as fine lines, wrinkles, uneven skin tone, and scarring, as well as for promoting a more youthful appearance. The combination of PRP and microdermabrasion is designed to stimulate the skin's natural healing process and encourage the regeneration of healthy skin cells.
