PRP ('Vampire Facial') treatments use platelet-rich plasma from your own blood to support skin texture, tone, and a brighter appearance. A small blood sample is concentrated and applied or microneedled into the skin to support collagen and elastin, which can help improve the look of fine lines, texture, and dullness, with minimal downtime. Dr. Srivastava will review whether it's appropriate for you at your consultation.

How Do vampire facials Work?

Dr. Srivastava begins the Vampire Facial process by drawing blood from your body then separating the platelets and plasma from red blood cells using a centrifuge.


The concentrated solution is then applied or microneedled into specific areas of the face to support collagen and elastin, which can help improve the appearance of skin texture, tone, fine lines, and dullness. Platelets contain growth factors that play a role in the body's normal repair processes. Results vary by individual.


The whole process takes about 30-45 minutes depending on the area being treated and has minimal side effects such as itching or redness.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How do I know if a Vampire Facial is right for me?

    PRP may be appropriate for patients looking to support skin texture, tone, and overall radiance, but suitability is individual. Dr. Srivastava will assess your skin and goals at consultation and recommend whether PRP or an alternative is the right fit.

  • Are Vampire Facials painful?

    The Vampire Facial is a non-invasive procedure that produces no more pain than a small needle would inflict.

  • What concerns can a Vampire Facial help improve?

    Static wrinkles come from age, collagen and elastin loss, and sun exposure rather than muscle movement. Wrinkle-relaxing treatments such as Botox® have limited effect on static wrinkles; dermal fillers or PRP are usually more appropriate. Dr. Srivastava can advise at your consultation.

  • How does a Vampire Facial work?

    A small amount of blood is drawn, then spun in a centrifuge to separate platelet-rich plasma (PRP). That PRP is applied and/or delivered into targeted areas with tiny needles to support healing and stimulate collagen and elastin production.

  • How long does the treatment take?

    Most appointments take about 30–45 minutes, depending on the areas treated and your personalized plan.

  • What is downtime like and what should I expect after?

    Downtime is typically minimal. You may have redness, mild swelling, or a sunburn-like sensation for a short period after treatment. Some patients also experience minor itchiness as the skin calms and recovers.

  • When will I see results and how long do they last?

    Many patients notice their skin looking brighter and more refreshed as healing begins, with continued improvement as collagen builds over the following weeks. Results and longevity vary by individual and are best maintained with a recommended treatment schedule.

Post Treatment

  • After care tips

    • Avoid touching your face for the rest of the day. Use clean hands only.
    • Skip makeup for 24 hours (or until any redness has calmed), to reduce irritation and keep pores clean.
    • Use gentle skincare only for 48 hours: mild cleanser + bland moisturizer. Avoid anything “active.”
    • Avoid active ingredients for 3–5 days, including retinoids/retinol, AHAs/BHAs, benzoyl peroxide, vitamin C (if irritating), and strong exfoliants.
    • No intense exercise, saunas, steam rooms, or hot yoga for 24–48 hours (heat and sweat can increase redness and sensitivity).
    • Avoid direct sun exposure for 1 week. If you’re outside, use a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ and reapply.
    • Do not pick or scrub if you experience dryness or light flaking—let skin heal naturally.
    • Avoid swimming for 48–72 hours (pools/hot tubs/ocean), as chlorine and bacteria can irritate healing skin.
    • Hydrate well and keep skin moisturized—hydration supports recovery and glow.
    • Sleep on a clean pillowcase and keep hats/helmets/face coverings off the treated area as much as possible for the first day.
