The Treatment
What Is a Vampire Facial?
The vampire facial in Danville at LA ViE MD — clinically known as microneedling with PRP — combines two proven skin treatments in a single session. A small amount of your own blood is drawn and spun in a centrifuge to isolate platelet-rich plasma. Then SkinPen creates thousands of controlled micro-channels in the skin, and your PRP is applied topically so it can penetrate where it does the most work.
The result: your skin’s own growth factors drive collagen production, speed cell turnover, and support tissue repair — without synthetic ingredients or significant downtime.
It earned its name from the blood draw and the redness that follows. The results are anything but dramatic in appearance — most patients describe it as a natural, healthy glow that builds over weeks.
Who is it for?
What Can a Vampire Facial Treat?
This treatment is particularly effective for patients dealing with the following skin concerns. It works across all skin tones, including deeper complexions that may not be candidates for more aggressive resurfacing.
- Uneven skin texture and enlarged pores
- Acne scarring and post-inflammatory marks
- Mild skin laxity on the face, neck, or décolletage
- Fine lines and early wrinkles
- Dull, fatigued-looking skin that's lost its radiance
- Hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone
The Process
How It Works at LA ViE MD Danville
Improvement is gradual, not overnight. Here’s what most patients experience across a full treatment series.
Consultation
We assess your skin, discuss your goals, and confirm you're a good candidate. Medical history, current skincare, and any medications are reviewed before anything is scheduled.
Blood Draw
A small vial of blood is drawn in-house — the same process as a routine lab draw. It's spun in our centrifuge on-site to isolate your platelet-rich plasma.
Numbing
Topical numbing cream is applied for 20–30 minutes so the treatment is comfortable throughout.
SkinPen Microneedling
Your provider uses SkinPen — an FDA-cleared device — to create controlled micro-channels across the treatment area. Needle depth is adjusted to your skin type and concern.
PRP Application
Your PRP is applied directly while the micro-channels are open, maximizing absorption. Growth factors begin working immediately.
Recovery
Expect redness for 24–48 hours — similar to a mild sunburn. Most patients return to normal activities the next day. Avoid direct sun and active skincare for 48–72 hours.
Know The Difference
Vampire Facial vs. Regular Microneedling
Both treatments use SkinPen to stimulate collagen. The difference is what happens next. Adding PRP amplifies the healing response by delivering concentrated growth factors directly into the micro-channels.

Common Questions
Vampire Facial FAQ — Danville, CA
What is a vampire facial?
A vampire facial is microneedling combined with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) drawn from your own blood. The PRP is applied during the SkinPen session to enhance the skin’s collagen response and accelerate renewal.
How much does a vampire facial cost in Danville?
Pricing depends on the treatment area and number of sessions recommended. Call or book a free consultation at LA ViE MD Danville for a personalized quote based on your skin goals.
Is a vampire facial painful?
Most patients find it very tolerable with numbing cream applied beforehand. During the session you’ll feel warmth and mild pressure. The 24–48 hours after can feel like a mild sunburn, which resolves quickly.
How many sessions do I need?
Most patients do 3 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart for optimal results. Maintenance once or twice a year helps sustain improvement over the long term.
How long do vampire facial results last?
Initial results typically last 6–12 months. With proper skincare and annual maintenance, many patients sustain their results much longer. Collagen response varies by age, skin condition, and lifestyle.
Can I get a vampire facial if I have darker skin?
Yes. Because PRP comes from your own blood and microneedling doesn’t use heat or light energy, this treatment is safe across all skin tones, including deeper complexions. It’s often recommended for patients who aren’t candidates for laser resurfacing.
What should I avoid before my appointment?
Avoid blood thinners (including aspirin and ibuprofen), alcohol, and retinoids for 3–5 days before. Don’t wax or use chemical exfoliants on the treatment area for at least 2 days prior. Arrive with clean, product-free skin.
What's the difference between a vampire facial and Morpheus8?
Morpheus8 combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy for skin tightening and deeper tissue remodeling. A vampire facial focuses on surface texture, tone, radiance, and collagen renewal. They treat different concerns — sometimes we recommend both as part of a longer treatment plan.
