FAQ
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) or “vampire facial” is a medical aesthetic procedure that stimulates growth of collagen through microneedling, which helps improve the skin and tone texture.
This is a 3-step procedure that involves:
-
Having blood drawn from your arm
-
The blood sample is spun in a centrifuge machine to separate the proteins and platelets from the blood. Platelets are then removed, and concentrated to create the platelet-rich plasma
-
The platelet-rich plasma is re-injected into your face or scalp using a microneedling tool or a syringe
