What to Expect From Your Vampire Facial at Carolina Facial Plastics
Your Consultation
Your 60-minute consultation begins with a comprehensive review of your medical history. We’ll dive deep into your specific skin concerns and aesthetic goals. With your consent, we’ll take “before” photos to track your skin’s transformation.
Once your consultation is done, you can choose to schedule a future procedure date or receive treatment immediately after consultation. The $75 consultation fee is credited toward your treatment.
Before Your Procedure
Before your vampire facial, we’ll review your current medications and may recommend temporarily stopping blood thinners, aspirin, or similar drugs. We do this so your platelets function at peak performance during the treatment.
Day of Procedure
Your procedure begins by drawing a small amount of blood from your arm. You’ll have multiple numbing options available to maximize your comfort. Some of these include topical anesthetics and ProNox (laughing gas).
We’ll then place your blood in a centrifuge to separate it, isolating the platelet-rich plasma – the source of your treatment. The next step in the process is microneedling – we’ll use tiny needles to make controlled micro-injuries on the surface layers of your skin; these punctures stimulate collagen production and enable the PRP to penetrate deeper into your skin. PRP is applied topically. The entire procedure takes approximately 60 minutes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will the treatment be uncomfortable?
Most patients experience minimal discomfort thanks to our thorough numbing process. Many describe the sensation as a mild tingling or warm feeling. Our team checks your comfort level throughout the treatment to ensure a positive experience.
What is the downtime after a vampire facial?
Expect 2-3 days of redness, similar to a sunburn. Most patients return to normal activities within 24-48 hours, though we recommend avoiding makeup for 24 hours after treatment. Your skin may feel tight and appear pink for a few days, but these effects are temporary.
When will I see results from my vampire facial?
Initial improvements in skin texture and tone are often visible within a few days. However, the most significant results develop over 4-6 weeks as your body produces new collagen. Results continue to improve for up to 3 months post-treatment.
How many treatments will I need?
Most patients benefit from a series of 3-4 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart for optimal results. After achieving your desired outcome, maintenance treatments every 6-12 months can help preserve your results.
Is a vampire facial safe for all skin types?
Yes, vampire facials are generally safe for all skin types since we’re using your body’s own healing factors. However, certain conditions may affect your candidacy. During your consultation, we’ll review your medical history to ensure this treatment is right for you.
Can I combine a vampire facial with other treatments?
Absolutely. Many patients combine vampire facials with other treatments like dermal fillers or laser therapy for comprehensive rejuvenation. We’ll help create a treatment plan that safely combines procedures for optimal results.
What makes vampire facials so effective?
The combination of microneedling and PRP provides dual benefits: the microneedling creates controlled micro-injuries that stimulate collagen production, while the PRP delivers concentrated growth factors deep into the skin. Our advanced double-spin technique ensures the highest possible concentration of platelets for maximum effectiveness.
How should I prepare for my vampire facial?
We recommend:
- Avoiding blood thinners and alcohol for 24-48 hours before treatment
- Coming to your appointment well-hydrated
- Avoiding sun exposure for several days before treatment
- Not wearing makeup to your appointment
How long do results last?
Results typically last 12-18 months, though this varies between patients. Regular maintenance treatments and a good skincare routine can help extend your results. We’ll work with you to develop a long-term plan for maintaining your rejuvenated appearance.
