What is a vampire facial:
The vampire facial, also known as micro-needling with PRP, is a cosmetic procedure that involves drawing blood from your arm, separating platelets and applying them back onto your face.
TREATMENTS
The Vampire Facial "Platelet Rich Plasma"
Because of the increased, concentrated platelets and growth factors, PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) can be used for hair loss, thinning skin, wrinkles, sagging, healing, scarring and general skin rejuvenation, which is what makes it excellent for any anti-ageing, rejuvenation or regeneration treatment.

WHY WOULD ONE BENEFIT FROM THE PRP FACIAL TREATMENT?
Normal blood contains only 6% platelets however, in PRP, there is a concentration of 94% platelets, which translates to a powerful growth factor “cocktail” with a variety of growth factors and cytokines. This stimulates cellular tissue regeneration to dramatically accelerate healing.
For this reason this treatment is very successful in treating the signs of ageing, as well as assisting in hair regeneration and even muscle and joint regeneration.
WHAT PROCEDURES ARE COMMONLY PERFORMED WITH PRP?
Wrinkle Improvement: fine wrinkles, eye wrinkles, wrinkles around mouth and forehead wrinkles.
Skin Colour and Circulation: dark circles under the eyes, areas of poor colour and dull complexion.
Skin pores and Elasticity: reduction of skin pore size, improvement in skin elasticity and skin tone.
Hair Restoration: because the platelets contain vital growth hormones, PRP injections are naturally a good fit for stimulating lost hair follicles.
Other Applications: treatment of burn wounds, joint therapy, sports injuries (Muscle repair) etc.
WHAT ARE THE RISKS INVOLVED?
Due to the PRP coming from the patient’s own blood, there is no risk of allergy or reaction. The procedure can be mildly uncomfortable however the patient is well numbed before starting the treatment, so most find it quite comfortable. The greatest risk is mild bruising, redness, sensitivity, swelling and mild peeling while the patient heals.
