Who Is a Candidate for a Vampire Facial?

Because the Vampire Facial is completely nonsurgical and does not involve synthetic medications, harsh chemicals, or lasers, most people are eligible for treatment. Ideal candidates include men and women with mild to moderate skin concerns and early signs of aging, such as fine lines, wrinkles, enlarged pores, and sun damage.

Patients with certain blood disorders, a history of keloid scarring, active infections or open wounds, or those who are pregnant may not be suitable for this treatment. Our knowledgeable team can recommend safe alternatives to help you achieve radiant, youthful-looking skin.

Techniques Used in a Vampire Facial

The procedure combines microneedling and PRP (platelet-rich plasma) therapy to maximize skin rejuvenation. Microneedling creates tiny, controlled punctures in the skin, stimulating natural repair and new cell growth.

For an added boost, PRP is prepared from your own blood. Our medical team draws a small blood sample, processes it to isolate platelets and plasma, and combines it with nutrient-rich serums. This PRP mixture is then applied to the treatment area, enhancing collagen and elastin production while promoting healthier, smoother skin. Once fully absorbed, the area is cleansed and any remaining serum is removed.

What to Expect After a Vampire Facial

Following treatment, it is normal to experience mild redness, swelling, or bruising. To protect your skin, avoid makeup, exfoliating cleansers, swimming, and prolonged sun exposure for approximately 72 hours post-treatment. Full results typically appear within several weeks as your skin continues to heal and regenerate.

Vampire Facial FAQ

Do Vampire Facials hurt?
Most patients experience only minimal discomfort. The PRP blood draw feels similar to a routine blood test, usually a brief pinch.

Are Vampire Facials safe?
Yes. When performed by experienced practitioners like the team at Altogether You Med Spa, Vampire Facials are safe and effective with minimal risk of complications.

How long will results last?
Results vary depending on skin condition, overall health, and other factors, but most patients enjoy improvements for approximately one year.

Will a Vampire Facial restore lost facial volume?
No. Vampire Facials improve skin texture and stimulate collagen and elastin production but do not replace lost volume. Dermal fillers may be recommended if restoring volume is your goal. During your consultation, we will develop a customized plan tailored to your aesthetic objectives.
