Your own platelets, concentrated and delivered into the skin to drive collagen repair. Best for texture, fine lines, dullness and under-eye crepiness — not for volume.
A PRP facial uses a small sample of your own blood, spun to concentrate platelets and growth factors, then delivered through microneedling channels or fine injections to stimulate collagen repair.

We draw a small amount of your blood, spin it in a centrifuge to separate and concentrate the platelet-rich plasma, and then deliver that plasma into the skin. Delivery is either through the microchannels created by microneedling or by fine injections into specific areas such as under the eyes.
Platelets carry the growth factors your body uses for repair. Concentrating them and placing them in the dermis triggers a controlled healing response: new collagen, better vascular support, thicker and more resilient skin.
The change is biological rather than instant, so it builds over weeks and continues after the last session.
Good targets: rough or dull texture, fine lines, enlarged pores, shallow acne scarring, thin crepey skin under the eyes, and general loss of firmness in early ageing.
Not a target: volume. If your concern is a hollow under-eye, flat cheeks or a deep nasolabial fold, that is structural and belongs to dermal fillers — a comparison we set out in PRP vs. dermal fillers. Deep movement lines need Botox.
Pigment concerns such as melasma respond better to a pigment-specific plan; PRP can complement it but will not clear it.
The under-eye area is thin, mobile and unforgiving. Filler there can look puffy or bluish if it is placed too superficially, so many patients are better served by improving skin quality instead.
PRP thickens and firms that thin skin, softens fine crepiness and improves the dull, shadowed look that comes from translucency rather than from hollowing. It is deliberately conservative work in a delicate area.
Bruising is possible and usually minor. If the true problem is a hollow tear trough, we will tell you so and discuss under-eye rejuvenation options instead.
Most plans run three sessions four to six weeks apart, then maintenance once or twice a year. Fewer sessions produce less change; there is no shortcut around the collagen timeline.
Expect redness like a mild sunburn on the day, sometimes into the next day, with occasional pinpoint bruising. Skip makeup, gym and heat that evening. No actives — retinoids, acids, vitamin C — for a few days. Sun protection daily.
If you are also treating hair thinning with PRP, ask about scheduling both in one visit: see PRP for hair loss and its aftercare guide.
Most patients do a series of about three sessions spaced four to six weeks apart, then maintenance once or twice a year. Your plan depends on skin quality and what you are treating.
Yes, vampire facial is the popular nickname for microneedling combined with platelet-rich plasma from your own blood.
PRP improves thin, crepey under-eye skin and fine lines. It does not fill a hollow tear trough, which is a volume problem better addressed with filler or another approach.
