How Long Does a Vampire Facial Last
A Vampire Facial has a cumulative effect, with results appearing within 1 – 2 weeks. While the results of a vampire facelift are not permanent, they can last for up to 18 months.
How Long Does It Take to Recover from a Vampire Facial?
There is minimal recovery from a vampire facial. Most patients experience redness and minor irritation to the skin after their treatments that will subside in 2-5 days.
What Is a Vampire Facial?
Microneedling with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a relatively new approach to treating a variety of skin concerns, from hyperpigmentation to scarring. This technique employs tiny needles that penetrate the outer layers of skin in order to stimulate natural healing processes within.
Using PRP with microneedling allows the body to generate even greater amounts of its own growth factors, thereby accelerating the type of repair and regeneration needed for healthy, glowing skin.
Overall, this innovative treatment method has been shown to be highly effective in improving many common skin issues, making it an increasingly popular choice for those looking to achieve their best complexion yet.
Are You a Candidate for a Vampire Facial?
Most people are good candidates for this procedure. However, those with sensitive skin may find that PRP microneedling causes unwanted side effects like redness or irritation. Additionally, people who suffer from certain medical conditions like diabetes or autoimmune disorders may not be able to receive this treatment safely.

How to Prepare for a Vampire Facial
Prior to your treatment, we ask that you avoid excessive sun exposure (or tanning) for at least 5 weeks before your appointment. On the day of your Vampire Facial, ensure that you are well hydrated and arrive with a bare, cleansed face. Any other requests will be made at your consultation.
What to Expect Post Vampire Facial
After your Vampire Facial, you may have some mild redness, swelling, and bruising. These side effects usually last for a few hours to a couple of days.
Vampire Facial Recovery & Timeline
We’ll give you some helpful information on protecting the area that’s been treated. For example, you need to avoid touching the skin with certain chemicals and avoid the sun for at least a few days. Otherwise, the treatment is unlikely to interrupt your scheduled activities at all. You will begin to see the treatment’s effects within 1 – 2 weeks of your appointment.
How does Dr. Christopher Pavlou perform a Vampire Facial?
This combination treatment delivers rejuvenated and glowing results by using the patient’s own blood. Platelets are the components of our blood that contain multiple growth factors and nutrients. The blood is drawn, and spun in a centrifuge that separates the PRP from the rest of the blood.
Our enriched platelets can rejuvenate the skin and target problem areas like acne scars, wrinkles, and volume loss when administered to skin.
