What is Microneedling with PRP

Microneedling with PRP, often called a “Vampire Facial,” is an advanced treatment that helps reduce fine lines, wrinkles, and dullness while boosting the skin’s natural radiance. The procedure begins with a small blood draw, which is then processed to isolate platelet-rich plasma—an element packed with growth factors and healing proteins.

After microneedling creates tiny micro-injuries in the skin, the PRP is applied directly to the treated area, allowing it to deeply penetrate and accelerate collagen production. This combination enhances skin texture, firmness, and overall glow. The treatment is minimally uncomfortable, with numbing cream typically used, and requires little downtime.

Because collagen and elastin production slow down with age, microneedling with PRP is a safe and effective way to maintain youthful skin. Typically performed in a series of three sessions, it delivers long-lasting, natural-looking results, with improvements continuing over time as the skin regenerates and strengthens.

Before and After Results

Aim of the Treatment

Microneedling with PRP therapy is an effective treatment designed to reduce the appearance of enlarged pores, fine lines, wrinkles, and spots, helping to achieve smoother, clearer skin. The microneedling process creates tiny microchannels in the skin, allowing platelet-rich plasma (PRP) to penetrate more deeply and enhance the skin’s healing response.
