What is a vampire facial?

​

The 'proper' name for a vampire facial is Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy.

​

In PRP, a needle is used to draw blood from the client's arm. The blood is then spun in a machine, to remove the platelets.

The plasma from the blood is extracted, and spattered on the client's face using tiny acupuncture-style needles to rejuvenate their face.

 

Those promoting PRP say it should:

​​

• Improve the appearance of wrinkles, scars and stretch marks

• Rejuvenate the under-eye area

• Tighten stubborn open pours

• Plump and volumise any area (e.g. cheeks) where someone might otherwise gets fillers.
