If you’re looking for a natural way to refresh dull, tired or ageing skin without synthetic fillers or downtime, the PRP Face Treatment (often called the Vampire Facial) at Velvet Skin & Laser Clinic is one of the most requested skin rejuvenation options in the UK right now.
This autologous treatment uses your own blood’s healing factors to boost circulation, improve skin texture, restore elasticity and reduce the appearance of fine lines — all with zero risk of allergic reaction because it comes from your own body.
In this complete 2026 guide we explain exactly how the PRP Face Treatment and Vampire Facial work, what kind of before-and-after results you can realistically expect, and why so many clients choose it at our clinic.
What Is PRP Face Treatment & the Vampire Facial?
PRP stands for Platelet-Rich Plasma. It is a three-step treatment that harnesses the natural growth factors in your own blood to rejuvenate the skin from within.
The Vampire Facial is the specific name for the version where the PRP is applied as a mask onto the face after tiny micro-channels are created (or in some cases gently injected into the skin). This allows the powerful plasma to penetrate deeply and deliver its benefits exactly where they are needed.
Because it uses only your own blood components, it is completely risk-free — there is no chance of transmitting disease or triggering an allergic reaction.
How the PRP Face Treatment Works
The process is straightforward and takes place entirely in-clinic:
- A small sample of your blood is drawn (exactly like a routine blood test).
- The blood is spun in a specialised centrifuge to separate and concentrate the platelet-rich plasma.
- The PRP is either applied as a mask (Vampire Facial) or gently injected into the face where it works to increase blood supply to the skin cells.
The alpha granules in the platelets release growth factors at up to 20% higher rates. These growth factors stimulate collagen and elastin production, improve skin elasticity, restore volume and texture, and support natural wound healing — all of which visibly reduce fine lines and wrinkles.
PRP Face Treatment Before & After – What Results Can You Expect?
Clients typically notice:
- Smoother, fresher-looking skin
- Improved skin tone and radiance
- Reduced appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
- Better elasticity and firmness
- A more youthful, rejuvenated overall appearance
Because the treatment works by boosting your own natural processes, results continue to develop in the weeks following the session as new collagen forms. The Vampire Facial method is especially popular for clients who want a gentle yet effective “glow” treatment with no downtime.
Every person’s skin is unique, so individual results vary. A consultation is always required to assess your skin and set realistic expectations.
Cost & Treatment Sessions in 2026
The PRP Face Treatment is priced as a premium regenerative procedure. Exact costs and package options for 2026 are available directly from the clinic — many clients choose a course of treatments for the best cumulative results.
The Vampire Facial is often selected as a single-session “red-carpet” treatment or as part of a maintenance plan. Your practitioner will recommend the right number of sessions based on your skin goals during your consultation.
