Reveal Radiant, Youthful Skin with PRP Microneedling at Advanced Physical Medicine
Looking for a natural way to rejuvenate your skin and reduce the signs of aging? The Vampire Facial, also known as PRP Microneedling, is a cutting-edge, non-surgical treatment that uses your body’s own healing power to restore a youthful glow. At Advanced Physical Medicine in Gilbert, AZ, we provide this advanced skin treatment to help you look refreshed and revitalized—without surgery or synthetic chemicals.
What Is a Vampire Facial?
A Vampire Facial combines microneedling with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy. First, a small blood sample is taken and processed to extract PRP—rich in growth factors that promote healing. Next, microneedling is used to create microchannels in the skin, and the PRP is applied to boost collagen production and stimulate tissue regeneration.
This dual-action treatment improves skin tone, texture, and firmness with natural-looking results.

What to Expect
Each treatment begins with a personalized consultation. During your session, we’ll draw a small blood sample and extract PRP using a medical-grade centrifuge. Microneedling is performed to stimulate the skin’s natural repair process, followed by the topical application of PRP to maximize penetration and results.
For best results, a series of 3 sessions spaced about 4–6 weeks apart is often recommended.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Does the Vampire Facial hurt?
Most patients report minimal discomfort. A topical numbing cream is applied before the procedure to ensure your comfort throughout the treatment.
How long does the procedure take?
A typical session takes about 60–90 minutes, including preparation, PRP extraction, microneedling, and post-care instructions.

You may notice a brighter complexion within a few days. Full results—including firmer, smoother skin—typically develop over 2–4 weeks and continue to improve with additional sessions.
Is there any downtime?
Downtime is minimal. You may experience slight redness or sensitivity for 1–2 days post-treatment, similar to a mild sunburn.
