01Natural Rejuvenation
The PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) vampire facial uses your own blood platelets to stimulate natural skin rejuvenation. This treatment harnesses your body's healing factors to improve skin texture, tone, and firmness.
Individual results vary. Your plan and timing are confirmed at consultation.
The PRP vampire facial in Christchurch at Silk Clinical Aesthetics combines microneedling with platelet-rich plasma from your own blood to stimulate collagen, improve texture, and firm the skin. Treatment takes 60 to 90 minutes including blood preparation and numbing. A series of three sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart is recommended: $600 per session or $1,550 prepaid for three. Results develop over 4 to 6 weeks. Performed by registered nurses.
A PRP vampire facial combines microneedling with platelet-rich plasma derived from your own blood. A small blood sample is taken and processed to concentrate the platelets and growth factors. This PRP is then applied to the skin during microneedling, allowing the growth factors to penetrate deep into the skin and stimulate natural healing and collagen production.
Platelets contain growth factors that play a crucial role in tissue repair and regeneration. When concentrated and reintroduced to the skin, these growth factors stimulate fibroblast activity, collagen synthesis, and new blood vessel formation. The microneedling creates channels that allow the PRP to reach the deeper layers of the skin where it can have the greatest effect.
Your nurse will draw a small blood sample and process it in a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich plasma. Numbing cream is applied to the treatment area. The microneedling device then creates micro-channels while the PRP is applied. Treatment takes approximately 60 to 90 minutes including blood preparation and numbing time.
Expect redness for 24 to 72 hours, similar to sunburn. Some mild swelling and sensitivity is normal. Results develop gradually over 4 to 6 weeks as collagen remodelling occurs. A series of three treatments spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart is recommended for optimal results. Benefits include improved skin texture, reduced fine lines, enhanced tone and radiance, and firmer skin.

Most well-built treatment plans use more than one tool. The device below is the one we lean on most often alongside this treatment. The rationale for the pairing is explained below.

PRP works on skin quality through autologous growth factors. Volnewmer works on skin quality through dermal heating and collagen remodelling. They address the same concern from two different mechanisms, and pairing them gives a more complete answer than either alone.
