Overview
What to know about prp & vampire facial
A Vampire Facial® combines microneedling with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) drawn from your own blood. Concentrated growth factors in the PRP are applied to freshly created micro-channels, amplifying the skin's natural healing and collagen response.
Because it uses your own biology, PRP is a natural approach to improving tone, texture, and glow — with results that build over the weeks following treatment.
A closer look
PRP & Vampire Facial in Bend & Central Oregon, explained
What is a vampire facial, and is it the same as PRP?
“Vampire facial” is the popular nickname for a treatment that combines microneedling with your own platelet-rich plasma (PRP). We draw a small amount of your blood, spin it in a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets and growth factors, then apply that PRP as microneedling drives it into the skin — so the two work together to stimulate collagen and repair.
So if you’ve seen “vampire facial” online and wondered what’s actually in it, that’s it: no filler, no synthetic product — just your own regenerative plasma. At Juniper in Bend it’s performed under dermatologist direction, which matters for a treatment that involves both a blood draw and micro-injury to the skin.
PRP vs. PRF: what’s the difference?
You may also see PRF (platelet-rich fibrin). Both start from your own blood; PRF is spun more gently and without additives, so it forms a fibrin scaffold that releases growth factors more slowly over time. PRP delivers a higher immediate concentration of platelets. Neither is universally “better” — the right one depends on the goal and the area.
Your dermatologist explains which preparation suits your treatment, whether it’s facial rejuvenation, under-eye work, or scalp treatment for thinning hair.
What does PRP treat, and does it help hair loss?
For skin, PRP with microneedling improves overall tone and texture, fine lines, acne scarring, and that dull, tired look — a natural, gradual glow-up rather than a filled or frozen change. Because it uses your own biology, it’s well tolerated across skin tones.
PRP is also injected into the scalp to help stimulate thinning hair. If hair loss is your concern, Juniper’s dedicated hair-restoration program pairs PRP with other physician-guided options — ask us and we’ll point you there.
How many PRP sessions and what’s the downtime?
Most patients do a short series — commonly three sessions spaced about a month apart — with collagen continuing to build for months after. Downtime is modest: redness and a mild sunburn-like feel for a day or two, similar to microneedling alone.
Results develop gradually and look natural because they come from your own repair process. Individual results vary.
What to expect
Downtime & recovery
Because we use your own platelet-rich plasma with microneedling, expect redness and a mild sunburn-like feeling for a day or two. Since it's your own biology at work, reactions are typically gentle.
Renewal builds over the following weeks as growth factors stimulate collagen - tone, texture, and glow improve progressively across a series.

What is a Vampire Facial?
It's microneedling combined with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) from your own blood. The PRP's growth factors boost the skin's healing response for improved tone, texture, and glow.
How many PRP treatments do I need?
A series of about three sessions spaced a few weeks apart typically gives the best results, with improvement continuing between visits.
Is there downtime after a PRP facial?
Expect redness similar to a mild sunburn for a day or two. Most patients return to normal activities quickly.

Yes — 'vampire facial' is the nickname for microneedling combined with your own platelet-rich plasma (PRP). The two are the same treatment; ours is performed under dermatologist direction in Bend.
