PRP + Microneedling · Manchester
The Vampire Facial — also known as PRP with microneedling — combines SkinPen collagen induction with your own platelet-rich plasma for a glow that reads as health, not treatment. A small blood draw, spun and separated in clinic, becomes a growth-factor serum worked deep into freshly micro-channelled skin. Doctor-led, with minimal downtime.

How It Works
The vampire facial pairs two of the most trusted regenerative treatments in aesthetic medicine. First, the SkinPen — an FDA-cleared medical-grade microneedling device — creates thousands of controlled micro-channels that trigger your skin's natural collagen and elastin renewal. Then comes the signature step: a small amount of your blood is drawn, spun in a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich plasma, and applied across the treated skin.
The timing is what makes it work. Those fresh micro-channels are at their most absorbent immediately after needling — a genuine drug-delivery window. Your plasma, rich in the growth factors your body uses to heal itself, sinks deep into the skin exactly where the renewal response is at its peak, enhancing and accelerating the result beyond microneedling alone.
Because everything comes from you — your skin's repair response, your own plasma — the result reads as healthy and rested rather than 'treated'. It's a favourite before events for exactly this reason, and it pairs beautifully with skin boosters for hydration or polynucleotides for deeper cellular regeneration.
The Result
True cellular renewal: your plasma and your skin's own repair, working together. The change builds over weeks and reads as health.
The Result
The combined effect is skin that looks genuinely revitalised — a lit-from-within glow in the first week, followed by months of quietly building collagen renewal. Texture softens, pores refine, scarring flattens and fine lines ease. Because the treatment uses nothing but your own biology, the result never looks artificial — it looks like you, at your best.
PRP + microneedling in one doctor-led session — the vampire facial enhances glow, texture and scarring with your own growth factors.
The Treatment
Day 0
Blood draw + microneedling + PRP
Topical anaesthetic, then the SkinPen passes across the skin. Your blood is drawn and spun, and the plasma is massaged into the fresh channels. A 60-minute session.
Day 1–2
Settle
Redness like a mild sunburn fades within 24–48 hours. Mineral SPF supports healthy renewal.
Week 1
The glow
Plasma settles in and skin looks visibly brighter and hydrated — a favourite effect before events.
Month 1–3
Collagen builds
A course of 3 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart refines texture, pores and scarring. Maintain every 6–12 months.
Suitability
Dull, tired skin that's lost its glow and bounce
Fine lines, uneven texture or mild acne marks you'd like refined
You like the idea of regeneration using your own blood — nothing synthetic
You want minimal downtime and a comfortable treatment
You're happy with gradual improvement that builds over a course of sessions

FAQs
The vampire facial is PRP combined with microneedling. After a SkinPen treatment creates thousands of micro-channels in the skin, a small amount of your own blood is drawn, spun in a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich plasma, and then worked into those channels. The growth factors in your plasma accelerate and enhance the collagen renewal microneedling already triggers — a favourite for glow, texture, fine lines and scarring.
The Vampire Facial (PRP + microneedling) at Skiin starts from £314 per session, with courses available. All pricing is discussed transparently during your consultation — we never recommend more than your skin genuinely benefits from.
Yes — and it's one of the most natural treatments in aesthetics. The plasma is drawn from your own blood on the day, so there's no synthetic product, filler or donor material involved. At Skiin the entire process is performed by our aesthetic doctors in a clinical setting, from the blood draw to the final serum application.
A topical anaesthetic is applied before treatment, so most patients feel only a mild prickling as the SkinPen passes over the skin. The blood draw is a quick, standard procedure — no different to a routine blood test.
A single session delivers a visible glow and refresh. For established concerns — acne scarring, texture, fine lines — a course of 3 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart is typically recommended, with maintenance every 6–12 months. Your doctor will tailor the plan to your skin at consultation.
Microneedling creates controlled micro-channels that trigger collagen renewal on their own. The vampire facial takes that same microneedling treatment and supercharges it: your platelet-rich plasma is absorbed through the fresh channels, flooding the skin with your own growth factors while the healing response is at its peak. Many patients choose to alternate the two across a course.
Downtime is minimal. Expect redness like a mild sunburn for 24–48 hours, occasionally with light flaking as the skin renews. Mineral SPF is essential while the skin heals, and most patients return to normal activities the next day.
The glow effect is often noticeable within a week, as plasma and hydration settle in. The deeper collagen remodelling builds over the following 2–3 months, with texture, pores and scarring continuing to refine across a course.
