What does
Vampire Facial
target?

Acne scars, fine lines, uneven texture, enlarged pores, dull complexion, and patients who want an aggressive collagen-stimulating treatment using their body's own growth factors for enhanced healing and regeneration.

How does
Vampire Facial
work?

A small blood draw is processed to concentrate PRP rich in growth factors. Microneedling creates thousands of micro-channels across the skin, and PRP is applied topically and driven into these channels. The growth factors amplify the skin's natural healing response, producing more collagen and faster tissue turnover than microneedling alone.

Why choose
Vampire Facial
at Better Med Spa?

The Vampire Facial works because it combines two proven mechanisms: controlled micro-injury and growth factor delivery. Our Lincoln Park providers adjust microneedling depth and PRP application technique based on your skin type and goals. Consultation first, always.

Questions?

We're here to answer your questions and provide the best services for your needs. Schedule a consultation to learn how to reach your aesthetic goals.

Is a vampire facial safe?

Yes, a vampire facial is very safe because it uses your own natural platelets to revitalize your skin — reducing the risk of allergic reactions or complications. At Better Med Spa, our expert providers use advanced sterile techniques for a comfortable, gentle experience with minimal downtime. Enjoy radiant, refreshed skin with a treatment you can trust!

Is there downtime after a vampire facial?

Most people have mild redness, swelling, or sensitivity for 1–2 days, much like a light sunburn. You can usually return to your daily activities quickly.

Does a vampire facial hurt?

A topical numbing cream is used before microneedling. Most people find the treatment very tolerable, with only mild discomfort.

How many sessions will I need?

Visible improvement may occur after one treatment, but for optimal results, 2–3 sessions spaced a few months apart are recommended. By booking a skin consultation, one of our skin experts can analyze your complexion and create a custom treatment plan to meet your skin goals!

How long do results last?

Results can last 6–12 months, with ongoing collagen stimulation keeping skin firmer and more radiant for months after treatment.

Past Client Experiences

"I have noticed a significant difference in the overall appearance of my skin and my friends and family have as well. I am excited to come in for follow-up sessions!"

"I came in 2 weeks ago for their Green Peel, which is a natural facial peel formulated with algae. It was my first time doing a skin peel so I was a bit anxious, but my tech Priscilla did a great job of informing me about the treatment throughout the process and about the aftercare."

"Overall - phenomenal experience. Staff from the estheticians to the front desk were so knowledgeable and kind."

"I got the Personalized Facial with a complimentary skin consultation with Xia. And it was so beyond amazing. This was by far one of the most intensive facials that I have ever gotten and I loved how much attention to detail Xia had throughout our entire session."

Signature from Annie Y.

"Outstanding service and spa."

"The Glass Facial was amazing. They specialize in Korean Beauty and only use products gentle for your skin unlike many Western treatments. My skin looks great even days later. I still have a glow and glass look with just simple skin care and moisturizing like I normally do. I definitely recommend this salon and suggest you try the K-Beauty services!"

"This is definitely a place I trust and will keep coming back to for my future skincare treatments. Plus, reasonable price! Highly recommended!"

"It has been a month since I got Rejuran, and at least six people have complimented my skin since then! Izzy is amazing, her technique is professional and surprisingly painless, but what impressed me the most is her sense of aesthetics. She really listened to what I wanted, communicated actively with me, and confirmed everything carefully until I felt completely comfortable."

"The spa was clean, relaxing, and welcoming. My skin feels so smooth and fresh, and I left glowing."

"I had my very first facial today with Hailey and it was such a great experience! I booked the aromatherapy, dermaplaning, glass skin facial, and LED light treatment, and she walked me through every step so I felt comfortable the whole time. She made sure I was comfortable and explained what each product was doing. I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending this place to friends!"

"Grace did a fantastic job. I don't have anything to compare it with, but the full service felt amazing. I was surprised by the number of steps included and how involved it ended up being. Head massage, facial massage, neck and shoulder massage, forearm and hand massage, all while working through multiple steps of the facial cleanse and treatment process. It was great. I'll be back again."

The Vampire Facial combines your own Platelet-Rich Plasma with microneedling to powerfully stimulate collagen, smooth fine lines, and rejuvenate your skin. Experience a naturally refreshed, radiant complexion with this innovative, celebrity-loved treatment.

How It Works

Experience dramatic skin renewal with our Vampire Facial — a cutting-edge treatment combining microneedling and Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) for a natural, powerful glow. The process starts as a small amount of your own blood is drawn and spun in a centrifuge, separating out PRP packed with cell-renewing growth factors. This PRP is then applied topically and microneedled into your entire face, where it penetrates micro-channels created by the device. The result: accelerated collagen production, increased blood flow, and amplified skin rejuvenation — all while harnessing your body’s own healing potential for true transformation.

  • Fine lines, wrinkles, and laxity
