Boost your skin’s natural collagen and repair processes, going beyond what traditional microneedling can do by using the power of your own blood’s growth factors. The Vampire Facial® right here in Barnegat, NJ, often called a PRP facial, combines the benefits of microneedling with platelet-rich plasma (PRP). We apply your own PRP during and after your treatment, letting your body’s natural healing signals lead the way, all without any synthetic additives.
We know the Barnegat Bay salt air, the summer sun reflecting off the water, and the tough winters along the Jersey Shore can really wear on your skin, leading to that tired, dull look or uneven texture. The Vampire Facial® offers a gentle, natural way to rebuild your skin’s foundation using materials derived entirely from you. If you’re curious to learn more, we’d love to see you at Euphoria Esthetics & Wellness, 770 Lighthouse Drive, Barnegat, NJ. We start every journey with a friendly consultation to make sure this is the perfect fit for your unique skin goals.
The Vampire Facial® is a trademarked PRP microneedling treatment developed by Dr. Charles Runels that combines microneedling with platelet-rich plasma. After taking a blood sample from your arm, a centrifuge separates and concentrates platelets, which contain growth factors that signal the body to repair and regenerate tissue. This concentrated PRP is then applied to the skin during microneedling, allowing it to penetrate the micro-channels created by the treatment and reach deeper layers of the skin than topical application alone would. The combination is intended to enhance the collagen-building response beyond what microneedling alone can achieve.
As a fine lines treatment and collagen stimulation facial, the Vampire Facial® addresses several common skin concerns:
The combined collagen-stimulating effect of microneedling and PRP growth factors supports smoother, firmer-looking skin over a series of treatments.
As new collagen forms and skin cell turnover accelerates, texture and tone become more even and consistent.
The regenerative properties of PRP, combined with the collagen-remodeling effect of microneedling, can help improve shallow-to-moderate acne scarring.
Many patients report a noticeable glow and improved skin quality following a series of treatments, which are attributed to the combined effects of exfoliation, collagen stimulation, and growth factor exposure.
The Vampire Facial® is part of a broader family of PRP-based treatments built on the same core idea: your own concentrated plasma, put to work rebuilding collagen and supporting the skin’s natural rejuvenation process. Euphoria Esthetics & Wellness also offers:
Pairs PRP with a dermal filler to address volume loss and deeper wrinkles simultaneously, providing lift and smoothing in areas where microneedling alone wouldn't reach.
Delivers PRP directly into breast tissue to support firmer skin texture and a mild lifting effect, an option for patients who want subtle improvement without surgery or implants.
Targets the labia majora and nearby tissue with PRP to support elasticity, circulation, and a firmer, smoother appearance in the treated area.
A consultation can help you determine whether the Vampire Facial® or one of these related treatments best matches your goals.
A small blood sample is drawn from your arm, similar to a routine lab draw, and then processed on-site using a centrifuge to isolate the PRP, while your skin is prepared with topical numbing cream
Your provider performs microneedling across the treatment area, then applies concentrated PRP to the skin, allowing it to be absorbed through the newly created microchannels. The full appointment, including the blood draw, typically takes 60 to 90 minutes.
Expect redness and mild swelling for 24 to 72 hours, which may be slightly more pronounced than with standard microneedling due to the added PRP application. Gentle cleansing and diligent sun protection are essential during healing.
The Vampire Facial® is not appropriate for patients with certain blood or platelet disorders, active skin infections, or those on specific blood-thinning medications without medical clearance. A consultation confirms candidacy for this treatment.
Your blood is drawn and processed in the same visit, with no need for outside lab coordination or a separate appointment.
Our providers are trained in both microneedling techniques and PRP preparation, ensuring this PRP microneedling treatment is performed with attention to detail in both components.
We confirm candidacy and set realistic expectations before recommending this treatment over standard microneedling or a related Vampire® treatment.
Patients from Manahawkin, Forked River, Tuckerton, and Long Beach Island choose Euphoria for advanced regenerative skin treatments close to home.
Most patients achieve meaningful results after a series of 3 sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart, with many choosing periodic maintenance sessions thereafter to sustain results.
Topical numbing cream is applied before treatment, so most patients describe the sensation as similar to standard microneedling, mild pressure, or light scratching rather than significant pain.
Standard microneedling relies solely on mechanical micro-injury to stimulate collagen production. The Vampire Facial® adds concentrated PRP from your own blood to enhance and accelerate the regenerative response beyond what microneedling alone can achieve.
Most patients experience redness and mild swelling for 24 to 72 hours, slightly longer than standard microneedling in some cases, due to the added PRP application.
Our office is conveniently located just 20 minutes outside of LBI and less than 10 minutes away from Lacey, Waretown, Forked River, Lanoka Harbor, Bayville and other surrounding towns.
