About
A radiant, refreshed complexion using nothing but your own body's healing resources is the appeal behind the Vampire Facial. At Riva Skin, Hair & Aesthetics, PRP Vampire Facial combines microneedling with platelet-rich plasma from your own blood to support natural skin rejuvenation.
What Is a PRP Vampire Facial?
The treatment uses platelet-rich plasma (PRP), drawn from your own blood, applied to the face alongside microneedling. This is intended to stimulate the skin's natural collagen production and support improved texture and tone over time.
Is It Safe?
Because PRP is derived from your own blood, the risk of allergic reaction or rejection is minimal compared to treatments using external substances. Your dermatologist will review your medical history at consultation to confirm suitability.
What to Expect: Procedure, Downtime & Aftercare
A numbing cream is typically applied before the microneedling portion of the treatment.
Redness and mild swelling, similar to a mild sunburn, are common for one to three days afterward.
Makeup is usually avoidable for at least a day to let the skin settle.
Most treatment plans involve multiple sessions spaced several weeks apart for cumulative benefit.
