The Vampire Facial: A Game-Changer for Healthy, Glowing Skin

You’ve probably heard about the vampire facial—it’s one of those treatments that’s been trending for years. But is it worth the hype? At Skin Reform, we believe in cutting through the noise and offering treatments that deliver results.
Let’s walk you through what the vampire facial is, how it works, and why it’s more than just a beauty buzzword.
What is a Vampire Facial?
A vampire facial is a natural, non-surgical skin treatment that uses your body’s healing power to rejuvenate your skin. It combines microneedling with PRP therapy—that’s platelet-rich plasma extracted from your blood.
Here’s the magic:
- Microneedling creates tiny micro-injuries on your skin’s surface.
- PRP is applied immediately after, allowing all those powerful growth factors to penetrate deeply and work from the inside out.
The result? Smoother, firmer, more radiant skin, all powered by your own body.
Why Clients Love It: Key Benefits
- Boosts your natural collagen production
- Helps reduce fine lines and acne scars
- Improves skin tone and texture
- Speeds up healing for a glowing, fresh look
- Minimally invasive with little downtime
It’s especially great for Joburg’s harsh climate, where dry winters and intense sun can leave skin dull and dehydrated.
How the Process Works
We’ll start by drawing a small amount of blood from your arm—quick and simple. This is spun in a centrifuge to separate the PRP, which is packed with growth factors. We then perform microneedling to prep your skin, followed by applying the PRP directly onto your face.
This “supercharges” your skin’s ability to heal, rebuild, and glow.
Who Should Consider a Vampire Facial?
If you’re struggling with:
- Fine lines
- Dull, tired-looking skin
- Acne scars or pigmentation
- Uneven skin texture
This treatment could be perfect for you! We always recommend booking a personalised skin consultation at Skin Reform to check whether you’re a good candidate.
Note: The vampire facial isn’t suitable if you’re pregnant, have blood disorders, or have active skin infections.
Aftercare: Keep It Simple
Post-treatment care is key to getting the best results:
- Avoid makeup and sun exposure for 48 hours.
- Stick to gentle, hydrating skincare.
- Skip retinol and exfoliants for at least 5 days.
- Keep your skin moisturised and stay hydrated.
Don’t worry—we’ll give you a clear, step-by-step aftercare guide.
