PRP and iPRF for the face (vampire facial)
PRP and iPRF are advanced regenerative treatments based on components derived from the patient’s own blood, aimed at encouraging the skin’s natural renewal mechanisms and improving tissue quality.
The treatment uses platelets, growth factors, and natural biological proteins that are released gradually and support tissue repair, collagen production, and improvement of the cellular environment. As a result, skin texture, elasticity, tone uniformity, and overall appearance can improve.

What is PRP and iPRF for the face (vampire facial)?
At the clinic we use a combination of PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) and iPRF (Injectable Platelet Rich Fibrin) — two advanced technologies based on components derived from the patient’s own blood.
PRP contains a high concentration of platelets and growth factors, while iPRF also contains a natural fibrin network that allows a more gradual and sustained release of growth factors. This combination lets us leverage the benefits of both technologies and encourage the skin’s natural renewal processes effectively and over time.
The treatment suits patients who want to improve skin quality, encourage collagen production, treat acne scars, hyperpigmentation, fine lines, and early signs of aging, using biological components derived from their own blood.
Natural skin renewal
PRP and iPRF for the face (vampire facial) are based on components derived from the patient’s own blood.
Unlike filler treatments, the goal is not to add significant volume or change facial structure, but to improve the skin itself and restore a healthier, fresher, more radiant appearance.
Treatment areas
PRP and iPRF treatments are suitable for a range of areas on the face and body, according to treatment goals and tissue condition.
The treatment is tailored individually according to skin condition, treatment goals, and the overall treatment plan.

Questions & answers
How does the treatment work?
After blood is drawn from the patient, it is processed by centrifugation to separate the active components. The resulting product is rich in platelets, growth factors, and natural biological proteins that help encourage the skin’s renewal mechanisms and improve tissue quality.
Who is the treatment suitable for?
The treatment is suitable for men and women who want to improve tissue quality and encourage the skin's natural renewal mechanisms.
Common indications include:
- Improving skin quality and texture
- Fine lines and early signs of aging
- Improving skin vitality and elasticity
- Acne scars, as part of a personalized treatment plan
- Hyperpigmentation, as part of a treatment plan tailored to the type of pigmentation and the condition of the skin
- Eye area
- Face
- Neck and décolletage
The treatment may also suit patients who prefer a treatment based on components derived from their own blood, without the use of fillers, as part of a regenerative approach that encourages the body's natural renewal mechanisms.
In many cases, PRP and iPRF are part of a broader treatment plan that combines additional treatments according to the medical diagnosis, the condition of the skin and the treatment goals.
What is the difference between PRP and iPRF?
PRP contains a high concentration of platelets and growth factors that are released relatively quickly. iPRF also contains a natural fibrin network that allows a more gradual and sustained release of growth factors. Combining both lets you benefit from both technologies and encourage a longer renewal process.
How many treatments are needed?
In most cases a series of 3–4 treatments is recommended, spaced 4–6 weeks apart.
The number of treatments, the intervals between them and the need for maintenance treatments are tailored individually according to the condition of the skin, the treatment goals, the clinical response and the treating physician's assessment.
When are results visible?
Improvement usually begins after a few weeks, as the skin’s natural renewal processes and collagen production continue during the months after treatment.
Can the treatment be combined with other treatments?
Yes. PRP and iPRF can be combined with Microneedling, medical peels, laser treatments, biostimulators, and other skin quality treatments, according to medical assessment and treatment goals.
Is the treatment safe?
Yes. Because the treatment is based on components derived from the patient’s own blood, the risk of allergic reaction or rejection is very low. A comprehensive medical assessment is performed before each treatment to confirm suitability.
Is the treatment painful?
The treatment is performed after applying anesthetic cream, so discomfort is usually mild to moderate. After treatment, mild redness, local sensitivity, or mild swelling may occur and usually resolve within a few days.
What are the possible side effects?
After treatment, redness, mild swelling, sensitivity, small bruises, or discomfort in the treated area may occur. These are expected and usually resolve within a few days.
As with any medical treatment, rarer risks and side effects also exist. Before each treatment, a medical consultation is held to assess suitability and fully explain benefits, risks, and possible side effects as part of informed consent.
In summary
The vampire facial is a biological treatment based on PRP and iPRF from the patient’s own blood, to encourage natural collagen production and improve skin quality, without fillers and without changing facial features.
The plan is tailored to skin quality and treatment goals at a consultation.
