PRP Facial
Refresh Your Skin Using Your Body’s Own Platelet-Rich Plasma
A platelet-rich plasma facial —often called a PRP facial or a “vampire facial”— is a skin-rejuvenation treatment that uses components from your own blood to support the body’s natural repair processes.
At Alpha Health, PRP facials may be used to help improve the appearance of uneven texture, fine lines, acne scarring, enlarged pores, and dull or aging skin.
Rather than simply covering up concerns, the treatment is designed to encourage healthier-looking skin from within.
What Is a PRP / Vampire Facial?
Platelet-rich plasma is prepared from a small sample of your own blood.
During the appointment, your blood is drawn and placed into a centrifuge, which separates the platelet-rich plasma from the other blood components. The concentrated plasma contains platelets and naturally occurring growth factors involved in tissue repair and regeneration.
The PRP is then applied to the treatment area in combination with microneedling. The microneedling process creates controlled microchannels in the skin, allowing the PRP to reach the targeted tissue while also stimulating the skin’s natural healing response.
Because the PRP comes from your own blood, the treatment does not rely on synthetic filler or an outside donor product.
What Can a PRP Facial Help Address?
Depending on your skin, goals, and treatment plan, a PRP facial may help improve the appearance of:
- Fine lines and early signs of aging
- Uneven skin tone and texture
- Acne scars and other mild facial scarring
- Enlarged or visible pores
- Sun-damaged or dull-looking skin
- Mild skin laxity
- Areas that have lost a healthy, refreshed appearance
Results vary from person to person. PRP facial treatments are generally intended to produce gradual, natural-looking improvement rather than an immediate or dramatic change.
What Happens During the Treatment?
Your appointment will typically include:
1. Consultation and Skin Assessment
We will review your goals, medical history, current skincare routine, and any factors that could affect treatment or recovery.
2. Blood Draw
A small amount of blood is collected, similar to a routine lab draw.
3. PRP Preparation
The blood is processed in a centrifuge to isolate the platelet-rich plasma.
4. Microneedling and PRP Application
A microneedling device creates controlled microchannels in the skin. The PRP is applied to the treatment area as part of the procedure.
5. Aftercare Instructions
You will receive guidance on cleansing, sun protection, skincare products, exercise, and other activities following treatment.
What Is the Recovery Like?
Temporary redness, sensitivity, tightness, mild swelling, pinpoint bleeding, or a sunburn-like appearance may occur following a PRP facial.
These effects commonly improve over the next several days, although recovery can vary based on treatment intensity and individual skin sensitivity.
During the initial recovery period, you may be instructed to:
- Avoid direct sun exposure
- Use gentle skincare products
- Avoid retinoids, acids, exfoliants, and harsh ingredients
- Avoid excessive heat, sweating, and strenuous exercise for a limited period
- Avoid applying makeup until advised
- Follow all personalized aftercare instructions
Proper aftercare is important for protecting the treated skin and supporting the healing process.
When Will I See Results?
Some patients notice that their skin appears brighter or more refreshed as the initial redness resolves. Changes related to collagen production and tissue remodeling generally develop more gradually over the following weeks.
The number of treatments recommended will depend on your skin condition and goals. Some patients pursue a single treatment, while others may benefit from a planned series followed by periodic maintenance.
Your Alpha Health provider will discuss what may be appropriate for you during your consultation.
Is a PRP Facial Right for Everyone?
PRP facials may not be appropriate for every patient.
Treatment may need to be delayed or avoided for individuals with certain blood disorders, active skin infections, uncontrolled medical conditions, impaired healing, active acne outbreaks, or medications that affect clotting or platelet function.
Pregnant or breastfeeding patients and anyone with a history of abnormal scarring should also discuss their circumstances with a qualified healthcare provider before treatment.
A consultation is necessary to determine whether PRP is appropriate for your health, skin, and treatment goals.
