Aging, stress, sun exposure, and everyday environmental factors can leave skin looking tired, uneven, or dull. At Advanced Body & Laser Center (ABLC) in Porterville, we offer Vampire Facials to help restore vitality, tone, and smoothness without harsh chemicals or surgery. By combining microneedling with platelet-rich plasma (PRP), this treatment works with your body to stimulate collagen, promote healing, and rejuvenate your complexion from the inside out.
Discover the science and beauty behind one of today’s most in-demand skin rejuvenation treatments.
A Vampire Facial is a non-surgical cosmetic treatment that combines microneedling with your body’s own platelet-rich plasma (PRP). The procedure is designed to address a wide range of skin concerns—such as texture irregularities, dullness, and fine lines—by activating your skin’s natural repair mechanisms.
The term “Vampire Facial” comes from the use of PRP, which is derived from a small sample of your own blood. This rich concentration of growth factors is applied to the skin after microneedling, enhancing the skin’s healing and regeneration processes for visibly smoother, firmer, and brighter skin.
The Vampire Facial is performed in two parts. First, your provider performs microneedling, a technique that creates tiny, controlled micro-injuries in the skin to stimulate collagen and elastin production. Immediately after this step, the PRP—extracted from your own blood using a centrifuge—is applied to the treated areas.
The microneedling channels allow the PRP to penetrate the skin deeply, enhancing cellular regeneration and speeding up the healing process. Over the following weeks, the skin gradually improves in texture, tone, and firmness.
Vampire Facials are an ideal treatment for clients looking to:
It’s a versatile treatment that rejuvenates without the need for injectables or invasive procedures, making it a popular option for all ages and skin types.
At ABLC in Porterville, we tailor every Vampire Facial to your unique skin needs. Our providers use PRP therapy to address a wide range of cosmetic concerns in these common treatment areas:
Face: Most clients choose to treat the face to reduce signs of aging, improve overall tone, and restore radiance.
Neck & Décolletage: This delicate area is prone to sun damage and fine lines, making it an ideal target for PRP therapy.
Hands: Vampire Facials can restore a smoother texture and more youthful appearance to aging hands.
Acne Scars & Stretch Marks: By stimulating collagen, Vampire Facials help improve the appearance of old scars and uneven skin.
No matter your goals, we’ll design a treatment plan that addresses your skin concerns and supports long-term skin health.
This treatment is suitable for a wide range of clients looking for a non-surgical approach to skin rejuvenation.
Vampire Facials are safe for most adults who want to enhance their skin’s appearance naturally. It’s especially effective for those concerned about fine lines, scarring, sun damage, or overall dullness. Since PRP comes from your own body, there’s minimal risk of allergic reaction or irritation.
This treatment may not be suitable for individuals with active skin infections, severe acne breakouts, certain blood disorders, or those currently taking blood-thinning medications. Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals should also avoid this treatment. Our team will review your health history during a consultation to determine if this treatment is right for you.
Here’s what to expect during and after your PRP facial at ABLC:
We begin with a thorough consultation to assess your skin, understand your goals, and determine whether a Vampire Facial is your best option. We’ll also discuss your medical history to ensure a safe and personalized treatment plan.
Before the treatment, your skin is cleansed and numbed with a topical anesthetic for comfort. We then draw a small amount of your blood and place it in a centrifuge to isolate the platelet-rich plasma.
Microneedling is performed first to create controlled microchannels in the skin. Your PRP is then applied topically, where it can seep into these channels and begin stimulating the repair process.
Post-treatment, your skin may appear red and feel slightly tight—similar to a mild sunburn—for 24 to 48 hours. You’ll be advised to avoid makeup, sun exposure, and intense physical activity for the first day. Hydration and SPF use are essential during recovery.
Results begin to emerge within the first week, with continued improvement over the next 4–6 weeks as collagen production increases. Many clients choose a series of treatments for long-lasting benefits.
At Advanced Body & Laser Center, we blend the science of aesthetic medicine with a compassionate, client-focused approach. Our experienced team of licensed professionals ensures that every treatment is performed with precision, care, and attention to detail.
With decades of experience and a reputation built on trust, safety, and consistent results, we’re proud to serve clients across Porterville and the surrounding communities. Whether it’s your first facial or your fifth, we’re committed to helping you feel radiant and confident in your skin.

Many clients see benefits after just one treatment. However, we often recommend a series of three sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart for optimal and long-lasting results.
Downtime is minimal. You may experience some redness and mild sensitivity for 24–48 hours. Most clients return to normal activities the next day.
