The ‘Vampire Facial’ is a favourite among Hollywood stars and works to stimulate collagen production in your skin using your own blood. PRGF® stands for ‘Plasma Rich in Growth Factor’ and, due to extensive scientific backing, is even used by dentists for bone grafting procedure to encourage new cell growth.
Used to rejuvenate the skin from the inside out, the platelet-rich plasma created from your own blood is injected back into the problem areas to smooth away lines and wrinkles as well as reducing the appearance of scars! This procedure uses microneedles to create a multitude of small puncture sites allowing the formula to penetrate into the skin barrier.

How do anti-wrinkle injections work?
We place the anti-wrinkle treatment in targeted areas to block the signal from the nerve to the nerve endings – effectively ‘freezing’ the underlying muscle. So when you laugh or frown, your skin looks and feels smoother.
Do fillers or anti-wrinkle injections have side effects?
The whole process is incredibly quick and requires almost no downtime for recovery. You will be able to return to your normal activities the same day but avoid strenuous exercise for the first 24 hours. Do not massage the treated areas as this may result in drooping which then takes another few weeks to resolve. There may be minor pain or swelling at the injection site and on rare occasions, headaches which will resolve in 24-48 hours. It is best to avoid alcohol starting at least one week before the procedure. You should also stop taking aspirin and anti-inflammatory medications two weeks before treatment to reduce bruising.
Are dermal fillers right for me?
If you are bothered by those early signs of ageing – sunken cheeks, pronounced lines between the nose and corners of the mouth, hollow eyes or deep lines and wrinkles – dermal fillers could be the ideal solution for creating a youthful, rejuvenating complexion boost. At Pro Dental, our experienced dentists use their aesthetic judgement and skill to create subtle, natural-looking results.
How does vampire facial treatment work?
Blood is first drawn from the arm, and then rapidly spun in a centrifuge, separating the sample into individual components – plasma, PRGF and the cellular layer containing red and white blood cells. We harvest the PRGF and reinject it into the face, in the same way you might administer botulinum toxin or dermal fillers.
Does the vampire facial have any side effects?
No – over half a million patients have been treated with PRGF® and no adverse outcome has been observed in any one of these patients.
