What is PRP Facial Treatment?

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) facial treatment, also known as the "vampire facial," is a non-surgical, rejuvenating procedure that uses your body’s blood to promote healthier, youthful-looking skin. It's important to note that this procedure involving blood is entirely safe and proven effective. It involves extracting a small amount of blood from the patient, processing it to concentrate the platelets, and then re-injecting this PRP into targeted face areas.

PRP Facial Treatment Procedure

The steps involved in a PRP Facial treatment procedure are as follows.

  • Cleaning the Skin :

    On the day of the procedure, the practitioner will thoroughly clean your face to remove dirt, oil, and makeup, ensuring the area is free from contaminants before the PRP treatment begins.

  • Numbing the Skin :

    A topical numbing cream is applied to the treatment area to minimize discomfort during the procedure. The numbing cream typically sits on your skin for about 15-20 minutes.

  • Blood Collection :

    Once your face is numbed, a small amount of blood (typically around 10-20 milliliters) is drawn from your arm. This process may cause a [mild discomfort similar to a routine blood test], though the feeling may be slightly different due to the amount of collected blood.

  • Preparing the PRP :

    The blood is placed into a centrifuge, which spins the blood at high speed. This process separates the plasma, rich in platelets, from the red blood cells and other components. The result is a golden-yellow liquid, the platelet-rich plasma (PRP).

  • Concentrating Platelets :

    The centrifugation process concentrates the platelets rich in growth factors that help stimulate collagen production and tissue repair.

  • Ready for Application :

    The extracted PRP is now prepared for use in your facial treatment.

There are two primary ways to apply the PRP to your skin, and the method depends on the practitioner’s technique and your specific goals:

Microneedling with PRP

  • Microneedling :

    A derma roller or a derma pen is used to create tiny micro-injuries (microneedles) on the surface of your skin. This process stimulates collagen production, allowing the PRP to penetrate deeper into the skin.

  • PRP Application :

    After microneedling, the PRP is applied directly to the skin. The microchannels created during microneedling help the PRP penetrate deeper into the dermal layers, enhancing its rejuvenating effects.

PRP Injections

In some cases, PRP is injected directly into specific areas of concern, such as deeper wrinkles or under-eye hollows. The PRP is injected using a fine needle to promote healing, collagen production, and skin regeneration in targeted areas. This is different from the [microneedling] process, which involves creating tiny micro-injuries on the skin's surface to stimulate collagen production and allow the PRP to penetrate deeper into the skin.

Frequently Asked Questions

Before your PRP facial, your skin will be cleaned, and a topical numbing cream will be applied. After one session, you may experience some redness, swelling, or mild bruising, mainly if microneedling was used. However, these are normal and temporary side effects that will subside within a few days. Results usually start to appear after a few weeks, with improved skin texture, reduced fine lines, and a more youthful glow. For optimal results, our doctors recommend multiple sessions.

Vampire facials (PRP facials) are used to treat a variety of skin concerns, including:

  • Fine lines and wrinkles.
  • Sun damage and pigmentation.
  • Acne scars and other types of scarring.
  • Uneven skin tone and texture.
  • Loss of skin elasticity and volume.
  • Overall skin rejuvenation and anti-aging effects.

PRP facial microneedling combines microneedling with the application of platelet-rich plasma. During the procedure, tiny needles create micro-injuries in the skin, stimulating collagen production. Simultaneously, PRP is applied to the skin, enhancing the healing process and promoting healthy skin cell regeneration. This combination enhances skin texture, reduces wrinkles, and improves overall skin appearance.

The recovery time for a PRP facial is generally minimal. After the procedure, you may experience some redness, swelling, and slight bruising, mainly if microneedling is involved. These effects typically subside within a few hours to a day.

PRP facials are generally safe, as they use your blood, minimizing the risk of allergic reactions or complications. However, it’s essential to undergo the procedure with a qualified practitioner to ensure safety and proper technique. Some mild redness, swelling, or bruising can occur, but these side effects typically resolve quickly.
