Vampire Facial in Dubai
The vampire facial combines Dermapen microneedling with PRP therapy — using your body’s own growth factors to rebuild skin texture, reduce scarring, and restore radiance. Dr Azra Vaziri performs this treatment at her Dubai clinic on Sheikh Zayed Road.
What Is a Vampire Facial
A vampire facial — clinically known as PRP microneedling — combines two of the most effective skin rejuvenation treatments into a single session. A small sample of your blood is drawn, processed to isolate the platelet-rich plasma, and then applied during Dermapen microneedling to deliver concentrated growth factors deep into the skin.
The vampire facial uses PRP — a concentrated serum of growth factors from your own blood — applied during microneedling to supercharge skin healing. It treats acne scars, fine lines, dull skin, and uneven texture. Treatment takes 60–90 minutes, results build over 4–6 weeks, and 3 sessions are recommended for best results.
The PRP contains concentrated growth factors, cytokines, and proteins that accelerate cellular repair, stimulate collagen and elastin production, and promote tissue regeneration. Combined with the controlled micro-injury of microneedling, the result is significantly enhanced skin healing and renewal compared to either treatment performed alone. Because the treatment uses your own blood, there is no risk of allergic reaction or rejection.
For patients seeking even more intensive regenerative results, Dr Azra can replace or supplement the PRP with exosome therapy, which delivers an even higher concentration of growth factors and signalling molecules. Read our PRP vs exosome comparison for details.
