Vampire Facial (Microneedling with PRF)
The Surgical Microneedling Procedure
During your treatment, PRF is applied topically to the face both prior to and after the microneedling process. The specialized device uses tiny needles to create microscopic holes in the epidermis, effectively pushing the PRF subdermally into the skin. In the days and weeks following your procedure, your cells will release growth factors to promote fresh collagen, resulting in noticeable skin tightening, smoothing of fine lines, reduction of pores, and continued cosmetic improvement over several months.
FAQ
Advanced Anti-Aging with PRF Therapy
At our clinics in North Vancouver and West Vancouver, the Vampire Facial is a specialized anti-aging procedure performed exclusively by our surgeon. This innovative treatment combines microneedling with Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) therapy to significantly improve the appearance of skin texture, wrinkles, active acne, acne scars, undereye circles, sun damage, and rosacea. Clinical studies have shown that utilizing microneedling in combination with PRF yields far superior and beneficial results compared to microneedling alone, making PRF the future of aesthetic medicine.
Why PRF is Superior to Traditional PRP
Dr. Chau has utilized platelet concentrates for over a decade to safely promote healing and tissue regeneration. While traditional Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) relies on added chemical anticoagulants that can reduce wound healing power, PRF has emerged as a superior, completely natural alternative. Because PRF does not incorporate any anticoagulants, it allows for a higher, prolonged release of growth factors over an extended period of time, ensuring a deeper and longer-lasting rejuvenation for your skin.
