A vampire facelift involves withdrawing a small amount of your blood, spinning it in a centrifuge to isolate the platelets from the red and white blood cells, then re-injecting the platelet-rich plasma into targeted areas of the face to produce brighter, smoother skin. Platelets contain hundreds of proteins called growth factors that help heal injured tissue and damaged skin, allowing the skin to repair and rejuvenate itself. It’s a non-surgical treatment that relies on your body’s own natural healing powers.
The two terms are often used interchangeably, but there is a difference. A vampire facelift uses PRP injected into targeted areas of the face to plump, firm and rejuvenate. A vampire facial combines PRP with microneedling, so the plasma is applied across the skin’s surface through microchannels. At London Real Skin we offer both. Our practitioner will advise which is best for your skin and goals at your consultation.

Your aesthetic nurse assesses your skin, takes ‘before’ photos and explains the plan. Your skin is cleansed, a small amount of blood is drawn and centrifuged, and the activated platelets are injected into targeted areas. Start to finish takes about 30 minutes.
Avoid sun and makeup for a few hours, moisturise, drink plenty of water, avoid hot water for 12–24 hours, and ice on and off to reduce any swelling.
It’s not suitable for those with certain blood or platelet disorders, active facial infections or cold sores, or those pregnant or breastfeeding, among others. Our practitioner will advise at consultation.
