Vampire Facial (Platelet Rich Plasma Treatment)

The Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) Treatment, more commonly known as the ‘Vampire Facial’ is an extremely popular and highly effective treatment in skin rejuvenation and cell regeneration.

Your blood is extracted and put through the medical-grade centrifuge process, separating your own ‘platelet rich plasma’ from the blood.

The PRP (platelet rich plasma) is derived from the serum portion of the blood, which contains platelets. The platelets contain high levels of growth factors, which, when applied to the skin, will stimulate cell turnover.

A lot like stem cell regeneration, your platelet rich plasma is then transported deep into the skin’s cellular level sparking off a cell healing and regeneration process.

The process highly stimulates collagen production, kick-starting a rejuvenation process, leading to tighter, lifted, clearer, brighter, and more youthful looking skin.

As we age our own body’s healing and cell regeneration slows down, the PRP treatment can reverse the ageing process by using your own body’s natural reaction to the platelet rich plasma and the proteins this harnesses.

Those with premature wrinkles, high levels of solar damage, or anyone who wants an even tone and fresher appearance to their skin, is an ideal candidate for the procedure. 

However, if you have a history of blood diseases, including clotting or bleeding disorders, you should not seek PRP treatment.

Other than potential bruising at the time of the venipuncture (blood extraction), there are minimal side effects. The whole procedure is relatively painless and extremely safe, as it’s essentially recycling your body’s own blood.

As for recovery, it might take a day or two of downtime before you’re ready to hit the streets. You may need one or two days as you’ll emerge from treatment a bit red, almost like a sunburn, which means post-procedure sunscreen is highly recommended. Applying makeup, though, is discouraged.
