Introduction
Discover the beauty of your own skin with PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy, also known as the Vampire Facial. At Urban Skin and Hair Clinic, we offer PRP treatments designed to rejuvenate your skin using your body’s own natural healing properties. This minimally invasive procedure helps improve skin texture, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, and promote a more youthful, glowing complexion.
What is Face PRP (Vampire Facial)?
The PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) Facial, commonly known as the Vampire Facial, is a cutting-edge treatment that uses your body’s own blood to rejuvenate and repair your skin. The process involves drawing a small amount of your blood, which is then processed to isolate the platelets. These concentrated platelets are then injected back into your skin to stimulate collagen production, enhance skin texture, and improve skin tone.
The treatment gained fame due to its association with celebrities, but it’s now available for everyone seeking non-surgical skin rejuvenation. PRP therapy can be used on the face, neck, and decolletage to address signs of aging, sun damage, and skin imperfections.
Causes of Skin Aging and Imperfections
Several factors contribute to the aging of the skin and the appearance of imperfections:
- Loss of Collagen: As we age, our skin loses collagen, which leads to the formation of wrinkles and sagging skin.
- Sun Damage: Prolonged sun exposure can cause pigmentation, fine lines, and uneven skin tone.
- Genetics: Your genetic makeup influences how your skin ages and its ability to regenerate.
- Environmental Factors: Pollution, harsh weather, and toxins contribute to skin aging and damage.
- Hormonal Changes: Hormonal shifts during pregnancy, menopause, and other life stages can cause skin changes such as dryness and pigmentation.
Treatment Benefits
✅ Natural Skin Rejuvenation: The treatment uses your body’s own platelets, offering a completely natural way to restore youth and glow.
✅ Improves Skin Texture: Helps reduce fine lines, wrinkles, and rough skin texture, making your skin feel smoother and softer.
✅ Enhances Collagen Production: Stimulates collagen and elastin production, essential for youthful, firm skin.
✅ Reduces Fine Lines & Wrinkles: PRP therapy helps smooth out fine lines and wrinkles by promoting skin renewal and tightening.
✅ Improves Skin Tone and Pigmentation: Reduces sun damage, hyperpigmentation, and uneven skin tone, resulting in a brighter complexion.
✅ Long-Lasting Results: The results of PRP therapy can last for several months to a year, depending on your skin’s condition and response to the treatment.
✅ Minimal Downtime: Since it uses your own blood, there’s minimal risk of allergic reactions. There’s usually only mild redness or swelling that lasts for a day or two.
Before-After Results
After undergoing PRP therapy, you can expect to see smoother skin, reduced fine lines, and a more youthful glow. Results are gradual as collagen production increases over time. The effects of PRP therapy often last anywhere between 6-12 months, with maintenance treatments recommended for sustained results.
How to Maintain Your Skin After PRP Therapy
- Hydrate and Moisturize: After the treatment, keep your skin hydrated and use gentle moisturizers to support skin healing.
- Avoid Sun Exposure: Protect your skin from sun damage by using a high SPF sunscreen regularly.
- Follow Skincare Recommendations: Your dermatologist may recommend a specific skincare routine to enhance and maintain the results of your treatment.

Introduction
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy has gained significant attention in the field of regenerative medicine and aesthetic treatments. This innovative procedure utilizes the healing properties of your body’s own blood to stimulate tissue repair, enhance healing processes, and promote rejuvenation. Whether used for its therapeutic benefits or cosmetic applications, PRP therapy has become a popular choice for individuals seeking natural and effective treatment options.
What is face PRP?
In the realm of aesthetic medicine, innovative treatments continue to emerge, offering individuals transformative solutions for rejuvenating their skin and achieving a more youthful appearance. One such treatment that has gained significant attention is face PRP, also known as platelet-rich plasma therapy for the face. Harnessing the healing potential of one’s own blood, face PRP has become a popular choice for those seeking natural and effective skin rejuvenation.
Process of Vampire facial/skin PRP
The procedure begins with a thorough consultation with a skilled and experienced aesthetic professional who will assess your skin concerns, explain the process, and address any questions or concerns you may have. Once you are ready, the Vampire Facial can be performed in several steps:
- Blood Collection: A small amount of blood is drawn from your arm, like a routine blood test. This blood sample is then processed in a centrifuge machine, which spins at a high speed to separate the platelet-rich plasma from the rest of the blood components. The resulting PRP is a golden-coloured substance that is rich in growth factors and proteins.
- Micro-needling: After the PRP is prepared, the next step involves micro-needling. A sterile device with fine, tiny needles is used to create controlled micro-injuries on the surface of the skin. This process, also known as collagen induction therapy, stimulates the skin’s natural healing response and enhances the absorption of the PRP.
- PRP Application: Once the micro-needling is complete, the platelet-rich plasma is applied to the skin. The PRP is carefully spread across the treated areas, allowing the growth factors and regenerative elements to penetrate deep into the skin. The micro-channels created by the needles provide a pathway for the PRP to reach the underlying layers of the skin, optimizing its rejuvenating effects.
- Absorption and Recovery: The PRP is left on the skin for a specified period, allowing it to be absorbed fully. The growth factors in the PRP stimulate the production of collagen, elastin, and new skin cells, contributing to the renewal and rejuvenation of the skin. The treatment area is then cleansed, and a soothing serum or moisturizer may be applied to aid in the healing process.
Benefits of PRP Therapy
PRP therapy offers several benefits that have contributed to its growing popularity. Some key advantages include:
- Natural Approach: PRP therapy utilizes your body’s own healing components, minimizing the risk of adverse reactions or complications.
- Versatility: PRP can be used in various medical and aesthetic applications, making it a versatile treatment option for a range of conditions.
- Reduced Downtime: In many cases, PRP therapy involves minimal downtime, allowing individuals to resume their daily activities shortly after the procedure.
- Long-lasting Results: The effects of PRP therapy can be long-lasting, especially when combined with appropriate post-treatment care and maintenance.
It’s important to note that the effectiveness of PRP therapy may vary depending on individual factors and the specific condition being treated. Consulting with a qualified healthcare professional or specialist is crucial to determine if PRP therapy is suitable for your needs and to receive personalized recommendations.
Who is the right candidate for Face PRP treatment?
Face PRP treatment is suitable for individuals who desire to improve the overall appearance of their skin, address specific skin concerns, or achieve a more youthful complexion. It can benefit individuals of various age groups, from those in their thirties and beyond to younger individuals proactively addressing early signs of aging or specific skin concerns.
Pre Care for skin PRP treatment
To ensure optimal results and a smooth treatment experience, it’s important to follow a pre-care routine. Here are some essential guidelines to help you prepare for your skin PRP treatment:
Schedule a consultation with a qualified healthcare professional or aesthetic specialist who specializes in PRP therapy. During this consultation, your provider will assess your skin, discuss your goals and expectations, and address any concerns you may have. They will evaluate your medical history to ensure that PRP treatment is safe and suitable for you.
Your provider may ask you to discontinue certain skincare products or treatments that could potentially interfere with the PRP treatment. This may include retinoids, exfoliating agents, and harsh chemicals. Follow your provider’s instructions regarding skincare products and treatments leading up to your PRP session.
Some medications and supplements, such as aspirin, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), and certain herbal supplements, can thin the blood and increase the risk of bruising during the PRP treatment. It’s important to inform your healthcare professional about any medications or supplements you are taking and follow their guidance regarding their use before the procedure.
Maintaining good hydration and a healthy diet can contribute to the overall health of your skin and improve the effectiveness of the PRP treatment. Drink an adequate amount of water daily and consume a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins. Avoid excessive alcohol consumption and maintain a healthy lifestyle in the days leading up to your treatment.
Protecting your skin from sun exposure is crucial both before and after PRP treatment. Avoid prolonged sun exposure, especially in the days leading up to your treatment session. If you have to be outside, wear a broad-spectrum sunscreen with a high SPF, protective clothing, and a wide-brimmed hat to shield your skin from harmful UV rays.
On the day of your PRP treatment, ensure that your face is clean and free of makeup, lotions, and creams. Follow any specific instructions provided by your healthcare professional regarding cleansing routines or special skincare products to be used prior to the procedure.
It’s important to get a good night’s sleep before your PRP treatment to help your body and skin rejuvenate effectively. Aim for 7-8 hours of quality sleep to optimize your skin’s healing and recovery process.
After Care for Vampire facial
To ensure optimal results and support the healing process, it’s essential to follow a proper aftercare routine. Here are some crucial guidelines to help you care for your skin after the Vampire Facial:
Treatment Instructions: Your healthcare professional or aesthetic specialist will provide you with specific post-treatment instructions tailored to your needs. It’s important to carefully follow these instructions to ensure proper healing and maximize the benefits of the Vampire Facial. This may include guidelines on skincare products, activities to avoid, and any necessary follow-up appointments.
After the Vampire Facial, gently cleanse your face with a mild, non-irritating cleanser recommended by your healthcare professional. Avoid harsh scrubbing or using abrasive cleansers that can irritate the skin. Pat your skin dry with a clean towel instead of rubbing it.
Protecting your skin from sun exposure is crucial during the healing process. Avoid direct sun exposure, especially during peak hours when the sun is strongest. If you need to go outside, wear a broad-spectrum sunscreen with a high SPF, protective clothing, and a wide-brimmed hat to shield your skin from harmful UV rays.
Keep your skin well-hydrated by applying a gentle, moisturizing cream or serum as recommended by your healthcare professional. Hydration helps promote healing and maintains the skin’s moisture balance, enhancing the overall results of the Vampire Facial.
It’s advisable to avoid wearing makeup or using harsh skincare products for a few days after the Vampire Facial. Give your skin time to recover and allow the PRP to penetrate and work its magic. When you do resume using makeup and skincare products, choose gentle, non-comedogenic formulas that won’t clog your pores or irritate your skin.
During the initial healing phase, be gentle with your skin to avoid unnecessary irritation or damage. Avoid excessive touching, rubbing, or scratching the treated area. Use gentle motions when applying skincare products or drying your face.
Your healthcare professional may schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your progress and assess the results of the Vampire Facial. It’s important to attend these appointments as scheduled and communicate any concerns or questions you may have.
