PRP / The Vampire Facial

Platelet Rich Plasma/The Vampire Facial

Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP), also commonly known as the Vampire Facial is a form of regenerative medicine that uses the body’s own natural growth factors and stem cells harnessed from the patient’s own blood to remodel the skin, stimulate collagen production and heal tissue. 

PRP injections are prepared by taking a small sample of blood from the patient and then using a centrifuge to separate the plasma from the red blood cells. This plasma holds a concentrated volume of platelets. Platelets enable the blood to clot and other necessary growth healing functions. The activated platelets are then injected directly into the skin of the affected area.

PRP is an extremely safe and effective treatment that can be used on any part of the body. It is especially effective in treating the tear trough area (the under-eye region), crows feet, hands, face, neck and decolletage. At Skin& we use The PRP Lab system to deliver this treatment.
