iPRF Microneedling Facials (Vampire Facial)
Also known as the vampire facial, injectable Platelet-Rich Fibrin (iPRF) microneedling is a cutting-edge, natural bio-revitalisation treatment that uses your body’s own healing power to rejuvenate and restore your skin. Unlike traditional facials or serums, iPRF leverages your platelets, white blood cells, growth factors, and fibrin to stimulate collagen and elastin production, improve skin texture, plump fine lines, and promote a youthful glow.
During the treatment, a small amount of your blood is drawn and spun in a centrifuge to separate the fibrin-enriched plasma, creating a concentrated, nutrient-rich solution. This iPRF concentrate is then carefully micro-needled into the skin using a fine, sterile device, activating your body’s natural repair and regeneration processes. The treatment encourages cell renewal, hydration, and overall skin health from within, making it a powerful alternative to chemical treatments or invasive procedures.
iPRF microneedling is suitable for:
- Facial rejuvenation and anti-ageing
- Reducing fine lines and wrinkles
- Improving skin texture, tone, and radiance
- Acne scarring and surgical scar reduction
- Promoting hair growth on the scalp
- Accelerating healing and overall skin healthÂ
Many clients notice immediate improvements in skin hydration and glow, with full collagen-stimulating effects visible over 4–6 weeks. Treatments can be tailored to the face, neck, décolleté, or scalp.
What is the difference between iPRF and traditional microneedling?
Traditional microneedling uses fine needles to create micro-channels in the skin, stimulating collagen naturally. iPRF microneedling combines this process with your own platelet-rich plasma, enhancing the skin’s natural healing response for faster, deeper, and longer-lasting rejuvenation.
Is iPRF the same as PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma)?
iPRF is a next-generation version of PRP. Unlike PRP, iPRF contains a fibrin matrix and more white blood cells, which act as a scaffold to slowly release growth factors into the skin. This provides enhanced collagen stimulation, longer-lasting results, and improved tissue regeneration.
What happens during an iPRF facial?
- A small amount of blood is drawn from your arm.
- The blood is spun in a centrifuge to separate the fibrin-enriched plasma.
- The iPRF concentrate is micro-needled into the skin with a sterile device.
- A soothing serum or mask is applied to enhance hydration and calm the skin.
The procedure usually takes 45–75 minutes, depending on the areas treated.
Topical numbing cream is applied before treatment to minimise discomfort if suitable. Most clients describe the sensation as a mild tingling or prickling, which is generally well tolerated.
How soon will I see results?
- Immediate: Skin appears plumper, hydrated, and radiant.
- Short-term: Reduced fine lines, improved texture, and brighter complexion.
- Long-term: Collagen stimulation continues over several weeks, with fuller, firmer skin and diminished scarring.
Are there any side effects?
Temporary redness, mild swelling, or tiny pinpoint marks may appear for a day or two. Bruising is rare. Because iPRF uses your own blood, allergic reactions are extremely unlikely. Redness usually subsides in 2-24 hours
Who is not suitable for iPRF microneedling?
Most adults seeking natural rejuvenation can benefit. It may not be suitable if you:
- Have active skin infections or inflammation in the treatment area
- Are pregnant or breastfeeding
- Have certain blood disorders or take blood-thinning medication
- Have a history of keloid scarring
How many sessions will I need?
For optimal results, a course of 3 treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart is recommended. Maintenance sessions can be scheduled every 6–12 months, depending on your skin’s needs and goals.
Can iPRF microneedling be combined with other treatments?
Yes! iPRF can be combined with skin boosters, polynucleotides, LED therapy, or cosmetic injectables to enhance skin rejuvenation, boost hydration, and maximise long-term results.
