PRP in Hastings (Vampire Facial)

PRP (platelet-rich plasma), often referred to as the “vampire facial”, is a regenerative treatment that uses your own blood to improve skin quality and support hair restoration. It works by isolating the platelet-rich plasma, which contains growth factors that help stimulate collagen production, support tissue repair and improve overall skin and scalp health.

Rather than adding volume or using synthetic products, PRP works by encouraging your body’s natural healing response. It can be used to improve skin texture, fine lines and overall skin quality, as well as support hair growth in areas affected by thinning.

At La Cara Aesthetics in Hastings, PRP treatment is tailored to your individual concerns following a full consultation. A course of treatments is usually recommended to achieve the best and most consistent results, with gradual, natural improvements over time.

How Does PRP Treatment Work?

Consultation
Your treatment starts with a detailed consultation where I assess your skin or scalp, discuss your concerns and determine whether PRP is suitable. This allows me to create a personalised treatment plan based on your goals.
Treatment
A small sample of your blood is taken and processed to isolate the platelet-rich plasma, which contains growth factors. This is then carefully applied or injected into the skin or scalp to stimulate collagen production, support tissue repair and encourage natural regeneration.
Aftercare
You may experience mild redness, swelling or tenderness after treatment, particularly if microneedling is used. I will provide clear aftercare advice to support healing and help you achieve the best possible results as improvements develop over time.

Frequently Asked Questions

PRP (platelet-rich plasma) is a regenerative treatment that uses a small sample of your own blood to improve skin quality and support hair growth.

The blood is processed to isolate the platelet-rich plasma, which contains growth factors that help stimulate collagen, support tissue repair and encourage natural regeneration.

PRP stands for platelet-rich plasma.

It refers to a concentrated part of your blood that is rich in growth factors, which play a key role in healing and regeneration within the body.

PRP works by using your body’s own healing response to improve skin and hair.

After your blood is taken, it is processed to separate the platelet-rich plasma, which is then applied or injected into the skin or scalp. These growth factors help stimulate collagen production, improve skin quality and support hair follicles.

PRP for the face, often referred to as a “vampire facial”, is used to improve skin texture, tone and overall quality.

It is commonly combined with microneedling to allow the plasma to penetrate deeper into the skin, helping to reduce fine lines, improve texture and support a healthier, more refreshed appearance.

PRP can help support hair growth in certain types of hair loss.

It works by stimulating the hair follicles and improving blood supply to the scalp. Results can vary, but it is often most effective in the early stages of thinning rather than advanced hair loss.

PRP is usually carried out as a course of treatments rather than a single session.

Most people have three sessions spaced a few weeks apart, followed by maintenance treatments depending on their goals and how they respond.

PRP works gradually, with results developing over several weeks.

For skin, improvements in texture and quality are often seen within 3 to 6 weeks. For hair, it can take a few months to notice changes, as hair growth cycles take time.

The cost of PRP depends on whether it is being used for skin or hair and how many sessions are needed.

As it is typically delivered as a course, pricing is tailored to your treatment plan and goals. Full costs will be discussed during your consultation.
