Vampire Facial Treatment
A Vampire Facial is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that combines microneedling with PRP (platelet-rich plasma) and PRF (platelet-rich fibrin) therapy. During the treatment, a small amount of your blood is drawn and processed to isolate PRP and/or PRF, which are then applied to the skin during and after microneedling. Microneedling creates controlled micro-injuries in the skin, which helps stimulate collagen production and encourages natural skin renewal. When paired with PRP and PRF, both rich in growth factors, this treatment helps support the skin’s healing and rejuvenation process for a smoother, brighter, and more youthful-looking complexion.
PRP and PRF are both derived from your own blood, but PRF contains a fibrin matrix that allows growth factors to be released more gradually over time. Using PRP and PRF therapy in our Vampire Facial enhances the rejuvenating benefits of the treatment and supports improved skin texture, tone, and overall radiance. This treatment is effective for reducing the appearance of fine lines, acne scars, uneven skin texture, enlarged pores, and dull skin. It is most commonly performed on the face but may also be used on other areas such as the neck, décolleté, and hands for more comprehensive rejuvenation.
A Vampire Facial in San Mateo, CA, is ideal for individuals seeking a natural way to refresh their skin’s appearance. It is especially beneficial for those concerned with wrinkles, fine lines, sun damage, acne scars, and uneven texture. The treatment is safe for most skin types and works with your body’s natural healing processes. Initial results are often visible within 2 to 3 weeks as the skin heals and regenerates, with continued improvement over the following months. Results can last anywhere from six months to a year, depending on skin type, age, and post-treatment care. Periodic maintenance treatments may be recommended for longer-lasting results.

This combination supports the skin’s natural healing process and helps improve texture, tone, and overall appearance.

Is there any downtime after a Vampire Facial?

The results of a Vampire Facial can last from six months to a year, depending on factors such as skin type, age, lifestyle, and aftercare. For longer-lasting results, some patients choose maintenance treatments every six months.
