Radiance From Within
The vampire facial and PRP aesthetic procedures use your own platelet-rich plasma to stimulate collagen, rejuvenate skin texture, and restore a youthful glow — naturally.
What Is Vampire Procedures?
Vampire procedures — including the Vampire Facial, Vampire Facelift, and Vampire Breast Lift — use platelet-rich plasma (PRP) derived from your own blood, applied topically or injected into the face and other areas, to stimulate collagen production, improve skin texture and tone, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, and restore volume. The Vampire Facial combines microneedling (which creates micro-channels in the skin) with topical PRP application, dramatically enhancing PRP absorption into the dermal layer. The Vampire Facelift adds PRP injections and, optionally, hyaluronic acid fillers to restore volume and contour. Growth factors in PRP — particularly PDGF, EGF, and TGF-β — trigger fibroblast proliferation, new collagen synthesis, and angiogenesis (new blood vessel formation), producing a natural regeneration process that improves skin quality from the inside out.
Key Benefits
Stimulates Natural Collagen Production
PRP growth factors activate fibroblasts in the dermis to produce new collagen — the structural protein responsible for skin firmness and elasticity.
Improves Skin Texture & Tone
Patients notice smoother, more even skin texture and improved overall tone — including reduction of acne scars, large pores, and uneven pigmentation.
Reduces Fine Lines & Wrinkles
Increased collagen density and improved dermal hydration visibly soften fine lines around the eyes, mouth, and across the face.
Restores Youthful Radiance
Improved vascularization brings more oxygen and nutrients to skin cells, producing a natural, luminous glow that makeup cannot replicate.
Completely Natural — Your Own Biology
Unlike filler or Botox, PRP uses only your own blood — eliminating any risk of foreign material rejection or allergic reaction.
Minimal Downtime
Most patients experience 24–48 hours of redness (similar to a mild sunburn) before results begin to develop over the following weeks.
Conditions We Treat
Who Is This Treatment For?
- Adults 30+ seeking natural anti-aging skin rejuvenation
- Patients with acne scars or textural irregularities
- Anyone wanting to improve skin radiance and tone without surgery
- Patients seeking natural alternatives to filler or Botox
- Those looking to enhance and maintain previous aesthetic treatments
What to Expect
- 1
Skin Consultation
Assessment of your skin concerns, texture, tone, and anti-aging goals to determine the most appropriate vampire procedure for you.
- 2
Blood Draw & PRP Processing
A small blood draw is processed in a centrifuge to isolate concentrated PRP.
- 3
Skin Preparation & Numbing
Topical numbing cream is applied 30–45 minutes before treatment to ensure comfort.
- 4
Microneedling + PRP Application (Vampire Facial)
A microneedling device creates thousands of micro-channels in the skin. PRP is immediately applied topically and worked into the channels, maximizing absorption.
- 5
Recovery & Results
Mild redness and sensitivity for 24–48 hours. Makeup can typically be applied after 24 hours. Gradual improvement continues over 4–8 weeks as collagen remodeling occurs.
Results Timeline
Initial skin radiance improvement is often visible within 2–4 weeks. Full collagen remodeling and best results are typically seen at 6–8 weeks. A series of 3 treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart is recommended for optimal outcomes. Annual maintenance sessions sustain long-term skin quality improvements.
Frequently Asked Questions
The Vampire Facial combines microneedling with topical PRP application to improve skin texture and tone. The Vampire Facelift adds injected PRP (and sometimes hyaluronic acid fillers) to restore volume, contour the face, and address deeper structural concerns. Dr. Stratt will recommend the appropriate procedure based on your aesthetic goals.
Yes — because PRP is derived from your own blood, it is safe for all skin types and tones, including darker complexions that may be at risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation from other treatments.
The full Vampire Facial including blood draw, centrifuge processing, numbing, and treatment takes approximately 60–90 minutes in office.
