Collagen Induction Therapy
Collagen induction therapy or commonly known as microneedling facials, is a cosmetic procedure that involves creating tiny punctures in the skin using a device called a dermaroller or a pen-like device with fine needles.
Vampire facial, also known as platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy, is a technique that combines microneedling with the application of platelet-rich plasma derived from the patient’s blood. Here is a description of the microneedling vampire facial procedure:
- Preparation: Before the procedure, our dentist will evaluate your skin and discuss your concerns and goals. They may advise you to discontinue certain skincare products or medications before the treatment to minimize the risk of complications.
- Blood Collection: At the start of the procedure, a small amount of your blood is drawn, typically from your arm. The blood is then processed in a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich plasma (PRP) from the rest of the blood components.
- Microneedling: A sterile device with tiny needles is used to create controlled micro-injuries on the surface of your skin. The device is moved gently over the treatment area, stimulating the production of collagen and elastin fibers. This process helps improve skin texture, reduce fine lines, and promote overall skin rejuvenation.
- PRP Application: After the microneedling, the platelet-rich plasma (PRP) derived from your blood is applied to the treated area. The PRP contains growth factors that support tissue regeneration and stimulate healing. It is believed that the combination of microneedling and PRP can enhance the effectiveness of the treatment.
- Recovery and Aftercare: Following the procedure, your skin may appear red and slightly swollen, similar to a mild sunburn. This is a normal response and typically resolves within a few days. Your medical professional will provide instructions on post-treatment care, including the use of gentle skincare products and sun protection.
- Results and Maintenance: The results of the microneedling vampire facial can vary depending on individual factors and the number of treatments performed. Many people notice improvements in skin texture, reduction in fine lines, and a more youthful appearance over time. Maintenance treatments may be recommended to prolong the results and optimize skin health.

The treatment aims to improve skin texture, reduce fine lines, and enhance overall skin appearance.
