Overview
What is a PRP facial?
A PRP facial combines microneedling with platelet-rich plasma prepared from a small sample of your blood. The plasma is applied to the skin during microneedling so it can reach deeper layers.
Platelets carry growth factors involved in tissue repair, which is why PRP is added to support collagen and improve skin quality.
What it treats
- Dull, tired skin

- Mild acne scars
- Uneven texture
- Under-eye crepiness
Who it’s for

What to Expect
Your treatment, step by step
01
Your Skin Evaluation
We start with an Alma IQ skin analysis to map texture, pigment and redness, then set goals together.
02
Your Treatment
A small blood draw is processed into PRP, then applied during microneedling after numbing.
03
Results & Follow-Up
Skin is pink for a day or two. Glow and texture improve over the following weeks.
Is a PRP facial painful?
Numbing cream keeps it comfortable. The blood draw is similar to routine lab work.
How many sessions do I need?
Three sessions about a month apart is typical.
How is it different from regular microneedling?
PRP adds your own growth factors to support healing and collagen.
When will I see results?
Most patients see improved glow in one to two weeks, with more change over months.
How much does a PRP facial cost?
Pricing depends on the area treated and the number of sessions you need. We give you a clear quote at your evaluation, and package pricing is often available.
Is a PRP facial the same as a vampire facial?
Yes. “Vampire facial” is a common name for microneedling with PRP.
How long do results last?
Results build over a series and can last many months with maintenance.
Who should not get a PRP facial?
People with certain blood disorders, active skin infections or some medical conditions may not be candidates. We review your history first.
When can I wear makeup?
Usually after 24 hours.
