Facials are essential in our skincare routine due to their extensive benefits and long-lasting results. The platelet-rich plasma (PRP) facial, however, is more than a simple facial. The treatment provides results worthy of a surgical facelift with none of the side effects. Yes, there is blood involved, but there is nothing to be afraid of. The platelet-rich therapy is not a form of surgery, and the risks are significantly lower.

What exactly is a PRP facial rejuvenation?

The platelet-rich plasma procedure, also known as a vampire facial or vampire facelift, is an advanced cosmetic treatment that uses the body’s natural healing process to improve collagen production and promote skin rejuvenation. 

The procedure combines microneedling and PRP to encourage cell growth and accelerate the collagen production process to treat a variety of age-related skin concerns. This minimally invasive treatment uses growth factors obtained from the patient’s body to trigger the wound healing mechanism and create healthy skin cells for better-looking skin and a youthful appearance. 

The facial uses platelet rich plasma, a golden yellow growth substance extracted from the patient’s own blood. The microneedling portion of the treatment creates micro-channels on the skin to activate the natural healing process, while the properties of platelet-rich plasma improve skin texture, reduce the appearance of wrinkles, and promote brighter skin.

Who is an ideal candidate for PRP facial injections?

PRP treatment for the face is best suited for individuals who:

  • Experience Signs of Aging:
    If you’re looking to reduce fine lines and wrinkles and improve skin texture, PRP can stimulate collagen production for a more youthful appearance.
  • Have Acne or Surgical Scars:
    The treatment can help reduce the appearance of scars by promoting cell regeneration and improving overall skin tone.
  • Struggle with Hyperpigmentation or Uneven Skin Tone:
    PRP can enhance skin brightness and even out discoloration, making it a good option for those with mild to moderate pigmentation issues.
  • Prefer Non-Surgical Options:
    If you want rejuvenating results without the risks and downtime of surgery, a PRP facial is an excellent alternative.
  • Maintain Overall Good Health:
    Ideal candidates are typically in good health, without significant blood disorders or severe sun damage that could interfere with the healing process.

Individuals with conditions such as clotting disorders, a history of severe sun damage, or those on certain blood-thinning medications may not be suited for the plasma facial treatment. If this is the case, we can discuss other options during your consultation.

What are the benefits of PRP injections for your face?

Our blood is made of plasma, red and white blood cells, and platelets. Platelets play an essential role in the healing process of our body. Our expert team of professionals uses the platelets in your own blood to boost the production of collagen and improve the appearance of the skin. The procedure is often used to:

  • reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles
  • improve the aspect of acne scars and surgical scars
  • enhance skin tone
  • combat uneven skin texture
  • improve moisture retention
  • reduce the appearance of large pores
  • improve the aspect of dark spots
  • reduce the effects of sun damage

What to expect during the PRP facial treatment

The procedure lasts between 30 minutes and one hour. One of our specialists will draw a small vial of blood from you to extract the platelet-rich plasma. The vial will be placed in a centrifuge to separate the PRP from the red cells.

We will apply a numbing cream about 20 minutes prior to treatment. This anti-aging skin treatment is non-surgical and doesn’t involve the use of a scalpel. We will simply apply the plasma over your face and proceed with microneedling to create the micro-channels necessary to allow full absorption of the plasma into the skin. The areas targeted are usually the forehead and cheeks, but also other parts of your face.

Microneedling achieves collagen stimulation while the infusion of PRP improves the collagen production rate and promotes skin tightening and improved skin texture.

Aftercare for your PRP treatment

The procedure is simple and doesn’t involve downtime. The patient may experience superficial pain and minor bruising due to the use of the microneedling device, but the plasma accelerates the healing process of the skin. Some redness and irritation are also common with vampire facials, but they usually disappear on their own in four to six days. 

For a smooth recovery, it is best to avoid wearing makeup for a while and only use the recommended serum or moisturizer. Avoid sun exposure, and always use sunscreen when exposing your skin to the sun. It is best not to use skincare products with active ingredients, like retinol, vitamin C, or alcohol in the week following the procedure, and avoid products with fragrances and colorings.

The results are not instantaneous, but you will be able to notice a tighter, brighter skin in the next few days after the procedure. This anti-aging treatment delivers effects that can last several months with proper skin care and products. However, for the best results, patients should have about one to three treatments spaced one to two months apart. These indications may vary, especially if struggling with hyperpigmentation, scarring, or other types of skin damage.

Results are typically seen two to three weeks after the first treatment. A series of one to three treatments spaced about one to two months apart is recommended, although this can vary by individual.
