Personalized care in Lenexa
Understand the treatment before you choose it.
A Vampire Facial begins with a small blood draw used to prepare platelet-rich plasma (PRP). SkinPen microneedling creates controlled microchannels, and PRP is used as a regenerative adjunct. The treatment is chosen for patients who want a collagen-focused approach using material derived from their own blood.
Start with clarity. Every new patient can begin with a complimentary consultation and Alma IQ skin analysis when appropriate.

Is it right for you?
Candidacy is personal.
Many people explore Vampire Facial because they want a nonsurgical, personalized option. You may be a reasonable candidate if:
- You want more intensive renewal than a maintenance facial
- You are comfortable with a small blood draw
- You can plan around short-term redness and sensitivity
- You have no contraindication to microneedling or blood-derived treatment
A consultation is also where we identify reasons to delay treatment, choose another approach, or seek additional medical evaluation.
Timing & results
Your treatment cadence
A common starting protocol is three sessions spaced four to six weeks apart, followed by individualized maintenance every six to twelve months.
Aftercare matters
Follow the instructions provided for your exact treatment. Protect the area, avoid picking or aggressive products, and contact the clinic if healing differs from the guidance you received.
