What Is PRP Microneedling?

PRP microneedling, also known as a “vampire facial,” is a cosmetic treatment that combines the collagen-stimulating effects of microneedling with the healing properties of your body’s own platelet-rich plasma. The microneedling device uses fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin, which triggers the body’s repair process and promotes new collagen and elastin production.

Once the micro-channels are created, PRP — derived from your own blood — is applied to the skin, deeply penetrating the dermis to accelerate healing, reduce inflammation, and enhance results.

What to Expect During Treatment

Your PRP microneedling session in Orange County will begin with a thorough skin cleanse followed by a topical numbing cream to ensure comfort. A small blood sample will be drawn and spun in a centrifuge to isolate the PRP. Once your skin is ready, we’ll perform microneedling, followed by the application of PRP directly to the treated areas. The entire session typically takes 45 to 60 minutes. Most patients describe the sensation as mild to moderate, and our team will tailor the treatment to suit your comfort level and goals.

Aftercare and Recovery

Post-treatment, you can expect mild redness and pinpoint swelling similar to a sunburn, typically lasting 24 to 48 hours. Some patients may experience light peeling or dryness. You should avoid sun exposure, exercise, and applying makeup or harsh skincare for the first 24 hours.

Initial results are often visible within 1–2 weeks, with collagen production and skin quality improving steadily over 3–6 months. A series of 3–4 treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart is recommended for optimal results.
