PRP for the face (Platelet-Rich Plasma therapy), often called the “vampire facial”, is a regenerative skin treatment that uses your own blood to rejuvenate the skin. A small amount of blood is drawn and spun in a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich plasma, which is rich in growth factors. This plasma is then either injected into targeted areas of the face or applied topically after microneedling.
PRP works by stimulating collagen and elastin production, improving skin healing, and boosting cell renewal. It is commonly used to treat fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, under-eye hollows, dull skin, and uneven texture. Since it uses your own blood, there’s almost no risk of allergic reaction.
The procedure usually takes about 45–60 minutes. After treatment, the face may appear red or slightly swollen for 1–2 days, similar to a mild sunburn. Recovery is quick, and results develop gradually over 4–6 weeks as collagen builds up, with the best results often after 3 sessions spaced a month apart.
The best point about PRP for the face is that it offers a natural, safe, and non-surgical way to rejuvenate the skin, using the body’s own healing power to achieve a fresher, healthier, and more youthful look.
