Vampire Facial (PRP) - Logan, Utah
Despite the intimidating name, a “vampire” facial is actually an extremely safe and peaceful experience. The procedure is done using Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) isolated from your own blood cells. These cells are injected into your face to circulate the platelets, growth factors, and nutrients contained in your plasma into the injection site.
Vampire Facials are used to:
- Boost skin cell turnover and collagen production
- Smooth skin tone and texture
- Reduce the size of pore and acne scars
- Reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines

If you’re struggling with an uneven skin tone due to UV damage or have premature wrinkles, A PRP vampire facial might be your best solution. Clients looking for a refreshed look or a more even skin tone may want to consider this treatment.
Vampire Facial® Pre and Post Care
- PRP Therapy is very safe because cells from the patient’s own blood are used, which means there are no preservatives and no chance of the body rejecting the cells.
- The primary risks and discomforts are related to the blood draw where there is a slight pinch to insert the needle for collection and there is a potential for bruising at the site. Please drink plenty of fluids the night prior to your treatment.
- For optimal results and to decrease the chance of bruising at the draw site, please avoid all blood thinning medications and herbal supplements for one week prior to your appointment if you can.
- Avoid taking Aspirin and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications (NSAIDS) such as Ibuprofen, Motrin, and Aleve. In addition, very high doses of some Vitamins and supplements can thin your blood and increase the chance of bruising.
- Please notify your provider if you are taking Coumadin, Plavix, or any other blood thinners for a medical condition.
- During the course of your treatments, notify my staff of any changes to your medical history, health status, or personal activities that may be relevant to your treatment.
- Please hydrate well the day the day before and the day of the procedure. Eat breakfast or lunch.
Post Care:
- Immediately following the procedure, the most commonly reported temporary side effects are redness, swelling, bruising, tenderness, tingling, numbness, lumpiness, and/or a feeling of pressure or fullness at the injection sites and/or in the treated area(s).
- Redness and dry skin is common. Use and apply Aquaphor to the face every 2 hours and before bedtime for the first 24 hours.
- Then use Aquaphor every morning and evening for the next 7 days. Avoid touching or scrubbing at the injection sites for 24 hours after treatment.
- To avoid bruising, avoid alcohol consumption for a minimum of 6 hours and refrain from taking blood thinners such as Aspirin and NSAIDS for several days.
- Tylenol is recommended if needed for discomfort.
- Sleep on your back with your head elevated and avoid rubbing the treated area for 3 to 4 days. Avoid direct high heat (blow dryer, sun exposure, sauna, steam room, very hot shower, hot yoga, strenuous exercise etc.) for 24 hours after treatment.
- Makeup may be applied immediately after the treatment if desired.
- Most patients see improvement starting at 2 to 4 weeks with continued Improvement for up to 12 weeks.
