Vampire Facial
What is a Vampire Facial?
The name sounds dramatic, but the treatment is straightforward and rooted in your own biology. Your provider draws a small sample of your blood, then spins it in a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets and growth factors into PRP. That PRP is applied during microneedling, so it travels through the fresh micro-channels to where it can support repair. At SpaRx Medical Aesthetics of Thonotosassa, the treatment is performed under physician oversight, with a numbing cream for comfort, and it is tailored to your skin and goals. Because the PRP comes from you, there is nothing foreign added to your skin.
What a Vampire Facial treats
Pairing microneedling with your own PRP makes it a versatile treatment for skin that needs repair and renewal. These are the concerns patients at SpaRx Medical Aesthetics of Thonotosassa ask about most.
Acne scars & texture
Microneedling with PRP rebuilds collagen to help soften the look of acne scarring and rough, uneven texture over a series.
Fine lines & wrinkles
New collagen, elastin and your own growth factors help firm the skin and soften the appearance of fine lines.
Enlarged pores
By renewing the skin and boosting collagen around each pore, it can help refine the look of enlarged pores.
Dull, uneven tone
Concentrated growth factors and fresh collagen help brighten a tired complexion and even out dull, uneven tone.
Vampire Facial vs standard microneedling
The Vampire Facial is microneedling with one powerful addition: your own PRP. Standard microneedling relies on the skin's repair response alone, while the Vampire Facial adds concentrated growth factors from your blood to support that healing. Here is where it sits among our microneedling options.
Foundational microneedling infused with hyaluronic acid to deeply hydrate and plump while collagen rebuilds.
Adds lab-sourced growth factors to support the skin's repair response, for extra firmness, tone and glow.
Microneedling with your own platelet-rich plasma, for maximum rejuvenation using your body's own growth factors.
Our most advanced option, using exosomes to amplify skin renewal and results after each session.

What is Vampire Facial recovery like?
To help your skin recover comfortably, your provider will give you simple aftercare: keep the skin clean and hydrated, avoid heavy makeup, hot workouts and direct sun for a day or two, and wear SPF every day, which matters year round in the Florida sun. Skipping harsh actives like retinol and exfoliants for a few days helps your skin heal well. Because the PRP comes from your own body, many people find recovery calm and comfortable.

How many Vampire Facial sessions will I need?
You may notice a fresh glow within a week of your first session, but the smoothing and firming build over the weeks and months as collagen develops and your own growth factors do their work. Many patients then come back for occasional maintenance sessions to keep their results. Individual results vary with your skin, your concern and your plan, and your provider will recommend a schedule at your consultation.
Is a Vampire Facial right for you?
The Vampire Facial is a great option for most healthy adults who want to improve acne scars, texture, fine lines or tone, and it is safe for every skin tone when performed by a trained professional. Because your PRP is made from your own blood, there is nothing foreign added to your skin, and the whole treatment is done in a medical spa under physician oversight, with your skin and history reviewed first.
A Vampire Facial may not be recommended if you have an active breakout or skin infection in the area, certain blood or skin conditions, a history of keloid scarring, or if you are pregnant, and it is usually spaced out from recent strong treatments or medications. If any of these apply to you, let us know. Your provider will talk through your options and, when the Vampire Facial is not ideal, suggest an alternative that fits your skin.
A note on how PRP works: your Vampire Facial is made from your own blood, and the PRP is prepared with FDA-cleared systems by a physician assistant, then applied during microneedling. Using your own plasma this way for aesthetic skin treatment is considered off-label, which is a routine and lawful part of medical practice. Results build over a series and vary from person to person, so your provider will set honest expectations at your consultation.

Vampire Facial FAQs
What is a Vampire Facial and how does it work? +
A Vampire Facial is microneedling combined with PRP, platelet-rich plasma made from your own blood. Your provider draws a small blood sample, spins it in a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets and growth factors, then works that PRP into the skin during microneedling. The micro-channels build new collagen while your own growth factors support healing, so skin looks smoother and fresher over the following weeks.
What is the difference between a Vampire Facial and regular microneedling? +
Regular microneedling relies on the skin's own repair response, and it can be paired with hyaluronic acid, growth factor or exosomes. The Vampire Facial adds your own PRP, so concentrated growth factors from your blood are delivered through the fresh micro-channels for an extra boost in healing and rejuvenation. You can compare all the options on our microneedling page.
How much does a Vampire Facial cost in Thonotosassa, FL? +
The Vampire Facial (microneedling with PRP) at SpaRx Medical Aesthetics is $249. Because it works best as a series, ask about package pricing for a course of sessions when you book. Other microneedling options start at $149.
Does a Vampire Facial hurt, and what is the downtime? +
Most people find it very tolerable. A numbing cream is applied before microneedling, so you usually feel light pressure or vibration rather than pain, and the blood draw feels like a routine lab draw. Downtime is usually mild: redness like a light sunburn for about 24 to 48 hours, sometimes light flaking. Most people return to normal activities the same day.
Is PRP FDA-approved? +
Your PRP is made from your own blood and prepared with FDA-cleared systems by a physician assistant. Using your own plasma this way for aesthetic skin treatment is considered off-label, which is a routine and lawful part of medical practice. Your provider will explain how it works and set honest expectations at your consultation.
How many Vampire Facial sessions will I need? +
Most people get the best results from a series of about 3 to 6 sessions, spaced roughly 4 to 6 weeks apart, since results build as new collagen develops. Concerns like acne scarring often benefit from a longer series. Your provider will recommend a plan at your consultation. Individual results vary.
Is the Vampire Facial made from my own blood? +
Yes. The PRP used in your Vampire Facial comes from a small sample of your own blood, drawn at the start of your visit and concentrated into platelet-rich plasma. Because it comes from you, there is nothing foreign added to your skin.
Who is a good candidate, and who should not get it? +
Most healthy adults who want to improve acne scars, texture, fine lines or tone are good candidates, and it is safe for every skin tone when performed by a trained professional. It may not be recommended if you have an active breakout or skin infection in the area, certain blood or skin conditions, a history of keloid scarring, or if you are pregnant. Your provider reviews your history first and will suggest an alternative if it is not ideal for you.
