About Vampire PRP Facials with Microneedling

Our vampire PRP facial with microneedling is a great way to give your skin a boost or address more targeted concerns.

Microneedling is a non-surgical skin rejuvenation treatment. (1) At Gorin Plastic Surgery & Medspa, we use SkinPen, a medical-grade, FDA-approved device that has rows of small needles to create micro-punctures on the skin’s surface. (1) These micro-punctures stimulate collagen while enhancing the absorption and effectiveness of skincare products.

After microneedling, the application of platelet-rich plasma supports tissue repair, cell growth, and the formation of new red blood cells. The serum contains four to seven times the amount of platelets compared to whole blood. (2)

By combining these rejuvenating treatments, the vampire PRP facial with microneedling offers a safe and highly effective option for anyone looking to improve their skin’s appearance.

Benefits

Vampire PRP facials with microneedling provide several notable benefits, including:

  • Increased Collagen Production: Microneedling treatments stimulate your body’s collagen production, helping you maintain firm and youthful-looking skin.
  • Smoother Skin: This treatment can soften rough patches of skin and acne scars.
  • Brighter Skin: This treatment can address dull areas and pigmentation issues, leading to a brighter and clearer appearance.
  • Softened Signs of Aging: Vampire PRP facials with microneedling can reduce the appearance of wrinkles, creases, and fine lines on the face and neck.

Candidates

Candidates for our vampire PRP facial with microneedling include patients who are interested in improving the texture and appearance of their skin. This treatment is highly effective for addressing visible signs of aging, such as fine lines or wrinkles, and may also benefit those who have noticed their skin is rough or uneven.

Anyone interested in this procedure should be in good general health and have realistic expectations regarding the results of their procedure. This treatment may not suit those with certain chronic skin conditions, immunosuppressed patients, or those with bleeding disorders. Our team of specialists will finalize each patient’s candidacy during their consultation.

Personal Consultation

During a consultation, your specialist will meet with you individually to determine whether a vampire PRP facial with microneeding is suitable for your concerns. They will discuss your medical history, concerns, and treatment goals, and perform an examination to assess the condition and quality of your skin. They will tailor aspects of your treatment to address your specific concerns, and they may recommend additional treatments based on your aesthetic goals.

If you are ready to schedule your consultation, please contact us online or call our office directly at (503) 692-7222.

Procedure

When you arrive for your procedure, your specialist will cleanse and sanitize your skin, then apply a topical anesthetic to the treatment area.

Your specialist will draw a small sample of blood from your arm. They process this sample to separate the platelet-rich plasma from the other components in the blood. While the topical serum is being developed, your specialist will use the SkinPen device to evenly address your skin and create the collagen-stimulating microchannels. When this is complete, they will apply the PRP serum to the face to absorb into the skin.

Recovery

One of the many benefits of our vampire PRP facial with microneedling is its minimal downtime. You will be able to return to most of your daily activities immediately after your treatment, with certain guidelines you should follow as your skin heals.

You may experience some tenderness or redness, which will subside within the following few days. You should avoid direct or excessive sun exposure and make sure you wear proper sun protection when going outside. You will also need to avoid using harsh skincare products, as well as the use of makeup, until your skin fully heals.

Results

While you will see immediate improvements in skin brightness and hydration, the full results of your vampire PRP facial with microneedling will gradually develop as your skin’s collagen levels rise. Many patients experience improvements in the texture of their skin as wrinkles, creases, acne scars, pigmentation irregularities, and dull patches soften, as well as enhancements in the elasticity and firmness of their skin. Most patients experience the best effects after undergoing a series of treatment sessions.

Corresponding Procedures

Botox

Botox (BOTOX®) is an injectable treatment that relaxes your facial muscles and restores a more youthful-looking appearance. This treatment is a neuromodulator, which means it blocks the neurotransmitters responsible for the repeated facial movements responsible for the wear on your skin. This allows your skin to smooth itself out, eliminating any wrinkles, lines, or creases in the process. Your specialist may combine your treatment with Botox to address any deep wrinkles or creases, allowing you to achieve a more youthful-looking appearance.

Dermal Fillers

For added volume, dermal fillers can provide excellent temporary results. At Gorin Plastic Surgery & Medspa, we carry Juvederm, Restylane, Radiesse, and Sculptra. Juvederm and Radiesse are hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers; they provide immediate volumizing results. Sculptra and Restylane, on the other hand, are biostimulatory injectables that provide results that improve over time.

Laser Treatments

Laser treatments can address a wide range of skin concerns, such as texture issues, redness, scarring, and other imperfections. We carry several types of lasers that can each be customized to suit different skin types and tones. Laser treatments make a great addition to patients’ prejuvenation routines, boosting skin health and appearance.

FAQ

How do you make a PRP serum for a facial?

To create your PRP serum, your specialist will collect a small sample of blood from your arm, similar to a normal doctor’s appointment. Your specialist will then process this blood to separate your plasma from the other components. This serum is incredibly biocompatible due to its being made from patients’ own blood, reducing the risks of negative reactions.

How many treatment sessions will I need to see my ideal results?

The number of treatment sessions will vary depending on your skin type, your desired results, and several other factors. While you will be able to see significant results after just one treatment session, most patients will benefit from a series of treatment sessions to see optimal results.
