The vampire facial (also known as microneedling with PRP) at Fort Worth MedSpa is a popular service for rejuvenating overall skin texture and tone. This advanced treatment is performed by our experienced aesthetic team under the leadership of board-certified plastic surgeons Dr. Robert G. Anderson and Dr. Mark A. Daniels.

What Is a Vampire Facial?

A vampire facial combines two cutting-edge methods: microneedling and platelet-rich fibrin matrix (PRFM). The main idea is to increase cellular turnover and stimulate collagen development to reveal beautiful, vibrant skin at any age. It is an excellent standalone treatment and can also complement other aesthetic procedures as part of a comprehensive skin rejuvenation plan.

At Fort Worth MedSpa, we elevate the traditional vampire facial with two advanced technologies:

SkinPen® Microneedling

SkinPen® was the first microneedling device cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). It creates precise, shallow punctures in the skin that prompt natural collagen and elastin production, while allowing the PRFM to penetrate more deeply.

PRFM

Platelet-rich fibrin matrix is a superior version of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) with a higher concentration of enriched plasma. This encourages better tissue regeneration, promoting a younger appearance.

Good Candidates for a Vampire Facial

Vampire facials are effective for adults of all ages and skin types. You may be a good candidate if you are experiencing:

Uneven skin tone or texture
Hyperpigmentation or age spots
Dull or fatigued-looking skin
Mild surface irregularities
Dark circles around the eyes
Loss of skin firmness or elasticity

Those with active skin infections, certain autoimmune conditions, clotting disorders, or who are pregnant or breastfeeding may not be suitable candidates. Our team will review your medical history during your consultation to confirm eligibility.

The Procedure

A numbing cream is applied to the skin before the vampire facial to ensure your comfort. Once the skin is fully numbed, a small blood sample is drawn to prepare your personalized PRFM. The blood is processed in a centrifuge to isolate and concentrate the platelet-rich fibrin matrix.

The SkinPen® device is then used to create controlled micro-channels across the treatment area. Finally, the prepared PRFM is applied topically, where it absorbs through the micro-channels to maximize tissue regeneration. The average procedure time is 45-60 minutes.

After Your Fort Worth Vampire Vacial

The average recovery period is two to four days; the skin will fully heal in approximately one week. During recovery, avoid makeup, active skincare ingredients, direct sun exposure, and excessive heat for the first 48 to 72 hours. Use a gentle cleanser and broad-spectrum SPF daily. Strenuous exercise should be avoided for the first 24 to 48 hours.

How far in advance of a special event should I schedule my treatment?

It’s generally recommended to schedule your vampire facial at least two to three weeks before a major event to allow adequate time for initial redness to resolve and early results to emerge. Booking too close to an event is not advised, as the skin needs time to heal and rejuvenate.

Will my own blood always be used, and is there a risk of reaction?

Yes, it will be your blood only. Because the PRFM is derived entirely from your own blood, the risk of allergic reaction or rejection is extremely low compared to treatments using synthetic or foreign substances. The autologous nature of the treatment is one of its key safety advantages.
