Vampire facial in the Maldives
Collagen-induction microneedling combined with your own platelet-rich plasma, worked into the skin for a more natural regenerative effect than needling alone.
How it works
A small blood sample is spun down to concentrate its platelets and growth factors. Microneedling then creates micro-channels that let this plasma work more deeply into the skin, encouraging collagen and repair using your own biology.
Areas we treat
Full face, particularly for acne scarring, early fine lines and overall skin quality; often chosen instead of standalone PRP & PRF Facial when texture is the main concern.
The session and aftercare
About 60 minutes including the blood draw and prep. Redness and mild swelling for 1-2 days. A course of 3 sessions, 4 weeks apart, is typical.
Who it suits
- Acne scarring or textural concerns
- Wanting a natural, blood-derived regenerative option
- No known blood or clotting disorders
Combining two proven techniques
Microneedling with PRP pairs controlled micro-injury from fine needles with platelet-rich plasma drawn from your own blood, so the growth factors that drive collagen remodelling are delivered directly into the channels created by the needling. This combination is a step up from microneedling alone for concerns like acne scarring, enlarged pores, uneven texture and early photoageing, and because PRP is autologous there is no risk of an allergic reaction to a foreign filler.
