The vampire facial, also known as PRP (platelet-rich plasma) microneedling, is a non-surgical skin rejuvenation treatment that uses a person's own blood platelets combined with microneedling to stimulate collagen production and enhance skin texture, tone, and tightness. Before and after images show results such as brighter, dewier, more supple, and refreshed skin with reduced fine lines, smaller pores, faded acne scars, and improved sun damage. The skin often appears comically red immediately after the procedure but heals significantly over several days to a week, with lasting improvements continuing over months as collagen remodels. Key results seen in before and after photos include:
- Reduced scar visibility and sun damage
- Smaller pores and smoother texture
- Decreased fine lines and improved skin elasticity
- Overall younger and more radiant appearance
Typically, optimal results come after multiple treatments spaced several weeks apart, though even a single session shows noticeable improvements. The procedure requires minimal downtime but involves an initial healing period with redness and sensitivity.
