A PRP facial, sometimes called a vampire facial, uses platelet-rich plasma prepared from a small sample of the patient’s own blood. The plasma may be applied with microneedling or administered through another medical technique. The treatment is promoted for concerns such as texture, fine lines, or overall skin rejuvenation, although individual results vary.
During the appointment, blood is collected and processed before the facial procedure begins. Temporary redness, swelling, pinpoint bleeding, or sensitivity may occur, especially when microneedling is included. Ask about pain control, hygiene, downtime, number of sessions, and aftercare before consenting.
PRP should be performed by an appropriately qualified provider using sterile equipment and clear medical protocols. Share information about medications, blood conditions, pregnancy, skin infections, and recent procedures. A responsible clinic will discuss expected benefits, limitations, risks, and alternatives rather than presenting the treatment as a guaranteed transformation.
