Quick answer

What is a vampire facial?

A vampire facial is a PRP microneedling facial. A small amount of your blood is drawn and spun in a centrifuge to concentrate platelet-rich plasma (PRP), which is then applied to the skin during microneedling. The micro-channels stimulate repair while the growth factors in PRP support collagen renewal.

In Seoul it is chosen for fine lines, enlarged pores, dull texture and shallow acne scars. Because it uses your own plasma, allergic reactions are rare. Learn more about PRP therapy.

How Vampire Facial works at Umi

Every visit is doctor-led and explained in English, from the first skin check to aftercare.

Consult & skin check
The doctor checks texture, scarring and medical history, including blood thinners and skin infections.
Blood draw & PRP
A small blood sample is drawn and centrifuged to separate platelet-rich plasma.
Microneedling with PRP
After numbing, fine needles create micro-channels while PRP is applied across the face.
Aftercare
No make-up for 24 hours; gentle cleanser, moisturiser and strict sunscreen.

Before & after

How the vampire facial renews texture

Controlled micro-injury plus your own growth factors prompts the skin to rebuild collagen, so the surface becomes smoother and pores look finer over time.

Days 1–3

Pinkness like a mild sunburn, then fading.

Weeks 3–6

New collagen begins; skin looks fresher.

FAQ

Vampire Facial questions

Does the vampire facial hurt?

Numbing cream is applied for about 30 minutes, so most people feel only light pressure and prickling. The blood draw is similar to a routine blood test.

How many sessions do I need?

Most people benefit from 3 sessions about 4–6 weeks apart. Results build gradually rather than all at once.

Can I fly after a vampire facial?

Yes, usually the next day. Keep skin clean, moisturised and protected from the sun, and avoid touching it during the flight.

Is it the same as PRP injections?

Both use your own plasma. A vampire facial applies PRP with microneedling across the surface, while PRP injections place it into specific areas such as under the eyes.

Do foreigners pay more?

No. International patients pay the same price as local patients at Umi Clinic.
