ABOUT THE PRP 'VAMPIRE' FACIAL 🎃

No, the PRP ‘Vampire’ Facial has nothing to do with vampires! The nickname was coined by the beauty industry because of the process it requires. The PRP ‘Vampire’ Facial at Lubbock Family Medicine combines micro-needling and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) to stimulate the production of collagen, elastin, and new blood vessels, creating a more youthful appearance on the face, neck, and chest. 

The procedure involves a quick, in-office blood draw while the face is numbing. The PRP, which contains high levels of growth factors, is then extracted from your blood and applied to your skin using a special micro-needling pen. When applied to your skin, these growth factors can give a number of benefits, such as helping in boosting cell turnover rate, improving collagen and elastin production, increasing the skin’s hydration levels, and infusing the skin with antioxidants. This procedure also improves the absorbing power of your skin – which means your skin can absorb other skincare products better. In summary, the PRP ‘Vampire’ Facial is a natural procedure designed to provide younger, healthier-looking skin. It’s a fairly quick process that requires no down-time.
