What is a Vampire Facial?
The Vampire Facial is a method that involves the use of platelet rich plasma (PRP) combined with microneedling for more comprehensive rejuvenation and results. It involves drawing a small amount of your blood, processing it to concentrate the platelets, and then applying this enriched plasma to your skin. This process stimulates collagen production and accelerates tissue regeneration, providing a natural and effective means of skin rejuvenation.
Benefits of a Vampire Facial
The benefits of a Vampire Facial are numerous, including:
- • Improved skin tone and texture
- • Reduced appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
- • Decreased visibility of scars and acne marks
- • Enhanced overall complexion and radiance
- • Natural-looking results utilizing your body’s own growth factors
- • Minimal risk of allergic reactions or side effects
- • Stimulated collagen production for long-term skin rejuvenation
The Procedure
Platelet-rich plasma is a substance made from the patient’s own blood. It is obtained through the process of extracting the blood and spinning the whole blood through a centrifuge to separate the platelets and plasma from the other components of the blood. The liquid that is obtained has a higher concentration of growth cells than whole blood and can be used to accelerate the healing and repairing of tissue. Platelet Rich Plasma injections can help to stimulate collagen production as well. The procedure helps improve the appearance of scars, corrects of skin damaged by the sun, and reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Vampire Facial Candidates
People who are suffering from sun-damaged skin, premature wrinkles and want even toned, fresher-looking skin are suitable candidates to opt for this procedure.
How It’s Done
Blood is withdrawn from the patient. It is put in a centrifuge. About ten to thirty milliliters of blood are used to get platelet-rich plasma. It takes about thirty minutes for the machine to separate plasma cells from red blood cells. Plasma is injected into the areas of the face being treated.
This can take several minutes. The procedure takes about 45 minutes to 60 minutes to complete. The concentrated platelet-rich plasma, with its growth factor, stimulates collagen and rejuvenates the skin. It also helps tighten the skin. Despite the local anesthesia, you might feel a slight sensation of the needle going through.
Dr. Marcos Ikeda will ask you to consume plenty of water one night before. He/she may advise you to refrain from drinking coffee before coming for the procedure. Eating a healthy breakfast in the morning is recommended. Blood thinning medicines are not allowed before the procedure.
What to Expect After the Vampire Facial
After your vampire facial treatment, you may experience some mild redness and swelling, similar to a sunburn, which typically subsides within a few hours. Most patients notice an improvement in their skin’s texture and tone within a few days, with optimal results appearing over several weeks as collagen continues to develop.
