The PRP Facial, also known as the vampire facial, harnesses your body’s natural growth factors to enhance skin tone and texture—revealing a smoother, more radiant, and rejuvenated complexion.
What is a PRP Facial? Vampire Facial
Platelet-rich plasma involves a simple blood draw—about the same amount drawn for a blood test. This is why this treatment is sometimes referred to as a vampire facial. Your blood is placed in a specialized vial and spun in a centrifuge, which separates the plasma or fibrin from the other blood components and separates them into concentrated layers. This valuable plasma is then drawn from the vial with a syringe and immediately prepared for application or injection.
Because we are reintroducing your own plasma back into your body rather than a foreign substance, there’s no possibility of an allergic reaction, and the chance of infection is minimal. At Hayes Valley Medical Esthetics, our vampire facial in San Francisco uses this natural, regenerative technique to stimulate collagen and restore skin vitality.
