A vampire facial utilizes microneedling, but it is not the same procedure. Microneedling involves a device that contains dozens of needles that can penetrate the skin. This creates micro-injuries that induce neocollagenesis (the production of new collagen), promoting skin health and reducing the signs of aging such as wrinkles and fine lines. It can be performed on its own, but may also be combined with other products, such as serums, to improve their efficacy. Vampire facials use microneedling to deliver platelet-rich plasma (PRP) to the skin, which provides a number of incredible benefits.
