Microneedling with PRP is often called the Vampire Facial. It uses your own blood to help your skin heal itself and look better. Many patients see smoother texture, fewer fine lines, and fewer acne scars after treatment.
Skin Artistry Clinic offers this treatment in Alamo, CA. Our provider, Dr. Faiqa Chaudhry, MD, is a board-certified physician trained at UCSF. She has over a decade of medical experience and training in aesthetic treatments like this one.

Microneedling uses a small handheld device with tiny needles. The needles create small, controlled injuries in your skin. This may sound intense, but it’s actually a safe way to trigger your skin’s own healing process. As your skin heals, it builds new collagen, which is the protein that keeps skin firm and smooth.
PRP stands for Platelet-Rich Plasma. We draw a small amount of your blood and spin it in a machine to separate out the platelets. When we apply this platelet-rich plasma to your skin right after microneedling, it penetrates the tiny channels and further accelerates healing.
Together, microneedling and PRP make a stronger treatment than either one alone. That combination is what people mean by “Vampire Facial.”

Most patients notice smoother, more even skin texture, a brighter skin tone, and healthier-looking skin within a few weeks. Fine lines and wrinkles often soften, and acne scars or sun damage can fade over time as new collagen builds up underneath.
Many patients also say their skincare products seem to work better afterward because their skin absorbs them more easily. This treatment is non-surgical, so there’s no cutting and very little downtime. It’s also considered safe for all skin types, though your provider will confirm that during your consultation.
We commonly treat the neck, hands, décolletage (the skin across your upper chest), and stretch marks on the body. If you’re interested in treating an area outside the face, let us know during your consultation, and we’ll walk you through what to expect.
Here’s what a typical visit for PRP looks like at our clinic:
The full session usually takes 60 to 75 minutes. Most patients feel only mild discomfort during treatment.
Your skin will need a few days to heal, and following these steps will help you get the best results:
It’s normal to see some redness and mild swelling for one to three days. Many patients say it feels similar to a light sunburn. Once that settles, you’ll start to notice a fresher, healthier glow.
Skin tone and smoothness usually start improving within one to two weeks. Acne scars, fine lines, and enlarged pores show more visible improvement by around week four. Collagen keeps rebuilding underneath your skin for another three to six months after that, so your results actually keep getting better over time.
For most patients, we recommend a series of sessions every four to six weeks, followed by maintenance sessions throughout the year to maintain your results.
This treatment tends to work well if you have:
It’s not the right fit for everyone. We generally hold off on treatment if you’re pregnant or breastfeeding, or if you have an active skin infection, open wound, or certain skin conditions in the treatment area.
Dr. Faiqa Chaudhry will review your health history with you during your consultation to confirm that this treatment is safe and right for you.

Here’s why patients trust us for their Vampire Facial and other anti-aging treatments:
We believe your skin deserves expert care, and we strive to provide it every day!
Your skin will likely look mildly pink, similar to a light sunburn. Most swelling subsides within a day or two, though you might notice some mild dryness or flaking as it heals.
Results usually build for about three months and then last 12 to 18 months. After that, your skin continues to age naturally, so most patients return for occasional touch-up sessions.
For patients dealing with scarring, uneven tone, or early signs of aging, most find it worthwhile. It speeds up your skin’s own healing and collagen production in a way most skincare products can’t match on their own. Like any treatment, the right choice depends on your goals and budget, which we’re happy to talk through during your consultation.
No, facial PRP is not permanent. Results such as improved texture and glow typically peak around 3 months and last 12 to 18 months as natural aging and collagen breakdown continue.
Not everyone is a candidate. Your provider will review your health history and current skin condition during your consultation to confirm it’s safe for you. This includes checking for active infections or other health conditions that would need to be addressed first.
Bad candidates include anyone with active acne, skin infections, a history of keloid scarring, eczema, psoriasis, blood-clotting disorders, or who is currently using systemic blood thinners or has recently received isotretinoin treatment.
