Skin Concerns
This service involves a microneedling plan and your own platelet-rich plasma. Assess scar type, texture, sensitivity, and treatment area before choosing the technique. Faster recovery or superior results from adding PRP should not be assumed.
Ideal Candidate
Suitability requires a review of skin condition, medical history, allergies, medications, and recent procedures. Pregnancy or breastfeeding, active infection or acne, open skin, bleeding disorders, immune suppression, and recent isotretinoin can affect eligibility. Discuss prior pigment changes, cold sores, or scarring. Do not stop prescribed medicines without the prescribing clinician’s approval. Using your own blood does not eliminate infection or other procedure risks.
PRP vs. Standard
SkinPen’s clearance covers specific indications and areas. FDA guidance states that microneedling devices are not approved to deliver cosmetics, medicines, vitamins, or PRP into skin. Device clearance does not establish clearance of an added serum or blood-product combination.
Your Own Growth Factors
Why You'll Love It
Microneedling and a blood-derived platelet preparation, with the combination reviewed separately.
Collagen Stimulation
Microneedling creates controlled skin punctures for specific cosmetic indications. PRP contains platelet-derived growth factors; the evidence for the exact combination and concern should be reviewed.
Scar & Line Reduction
Selected facial acne scars can improve with microneedling. Tethered or deeper scars may need another technique, and the added value of PRP varies by the protocol and evidence.
Plan Your Recovery
Redness, tenderness, swelling, or peeling can follow treatment. Your provider will explain the procedure-specific aftercare and risks.
Drawn On the Day
A blood sample is drawn and processed for the appointment. Careful handling and sterility are essential.
Skin Concerns We Treat
Assess scar type, texture, skin condition, and the intended treatment area before choosing a plan.
Acne Scars
Acne scars differ in depth and structure. Microneedling can improve selected facial scars but does not surgically release tethered bands. Active acne needs appropriate treatment before scar procedures.
Fine Lines & Wrinkles
Uneven Texture
Uneven texture can reflect scars, dryness, or sun damage. Choose the procedure from the cause and assess healing and benefit before adding a laser treatment.
Sun Damage & Tone
Sun damage and pigmentation need assessment and ongoing protection from UV. PRP should not be described as reversing sun damage at a cellular level. BBL is a separate option for selected pigment concerns.
Skin Laxity
Skin texture and substantial laxity are different concerns. Discuss the degree of change a skin procedure can reasonably provide and whether structural changes need another approach.
Sensitive & Reactive Skin
Sensitivity to skincare does not establish suitability for PRP or microneedling. Assess the skin barrier, allergies, active inflammation, and medical history before a procedure.
Vampire Facial vs. Standard Microneedling
Compare the device indication, proposed PRP application, evidence, recovery, and price. A blood-derived product does not establish a stronger result for every patient.
SkinPen’s clearance covers specific indications and areas. FDA guidance states that microneedling devices are not approved to deliver cosmetics, medicines, vitamins, or PRP into skin. Device clearance does not establish clearance of an added serum or blood-product combination.
What to Expect
A Vampire Facial appointment takes approximately 75–90 minutes including the blood draw and numbing time. Here’s what happens at each step.
Consultation & Blood Draw
Your aesthetician reviews your skin concerns and treatment goals. A small blood draw (similar to a routine lab test) is taken from your arm. The blood is placed in a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich plasma from the red blood cells.
Numbing
Numbing can reduce discomfort, though prickling, stinging, and tenderness can still occur.
Technique & PRP Review
Before treatment, confirm the exact product, how and when it will be applied, the treatment area, and the expected benefit and risks. Follow the device and product instructions and the provider’s written plan. SkinPen’s clearance covers specific indications and areas. FDA guidance states that microneedling devices are not approved to deliver cosmetics, medicines, vitamins, or PRP into skin. Device clearance does not establish clearance of an added serum or blood-product combination.
Aftercare Review
Use only the aftercare products and timing specified for the procedure. Ask when to resume cleansing, sunscreen, makeup, active skincare, and exercise. Avoid sun exposure while healing and do not pick or scrub irritated skin. See our post-care instructions.
Results Timeline
Redness, tenderness, swelling, dryness, or peeling can follow treatment and may last longer than a day or two. Allow recovery time before important events. Increasing pain, blistering, spreading redness, drainage, or unexpected pigment changes need prompt assessment. Any later improvement is assessed after healing and during follow-up.
Post-Treatment Tips
Use only the aftercare products and timing specified for the procedure. Ask when to resume cleansing, sunscreen, makeup, active skincare, and exercise. Avoid sun exposure while healing and do not pick or scrub irritated skin. See our post-care instructions.

How Often to Treat
The number and timing of visits depend on the concern and your response.
The number and interval depend on your concern, recovery, and response. Review the change after healing before deciding on another visit; a package is an option when repeat treatment fits the plan.
Maintenance is optional and depends on whether benefit persists and whether further treatment is worthwhile.
A first visit allows you to assess healing and response. Discuss a generous recovery buffer before an event rather than assuming a fixed deadline.
Other facials can address separate needs after healing and screening. View all treatments.
How the Vampire Facial Works
A small blood draw is taken and spun in a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich plasma (PRP) — a concentrated source of growth factors that signal tissue repair and collagen production.
SkinPen’s clearance covers specific indications and areas. FDA guidance states that microneedling devices are not approved to deliver cosmetics, medicines, vitamins, or PRP into skin. Device clearance does not establish clearance of an added serum or blood-product combination.
PRP contains growth factors, but the presence of those proteins alone does not establish the degree of cosmetic benefit. The AAD explains uncertainties in cosmetic PRP evidence.

I see Christian at ELLEMES and she is absolutely amazing! I’ve been going to her for almost a year now and each time I leave my appointment my skin is glowing and I feel refreshed. From hydrafacial to microneedling, she truly has helped transform my skin’s appearance and texture. Thank you, Christian!!
I had an amazing experience at ELLEMES Med Spa. Thao performed my PRF EZ Gel under-eye treatment and was incredibly skilled, gentle, and attentive throughout the entire process. Jaycee did my HydraFacial, and it was one of the best I’ve ever had, so thorough, relaxing, and my skin looked instantly refreshed afterward. Both of them are extremely kind, professional, and made me feel completely comfortable from the moment I walked in.
I have been going to Ellemes for 2 years now for micro needling (3-4/year, 1 session with PRP). The results have been amazing, only possible because of the incredible Aestheticians. They are very informative and talked me through what to expect / at home instructions. They also followed up the next day to check in, a service I would consider going above and beyond, to see how my healing was progressing. I highly recommend!
Thank you ellemes for consistently giving great service. I have received sessions for microneedling/facials/peels with Lauren and Jaycee who are so skilled and knowledgeable about each procedure and provide excellent follow up care. Thank you Thao for your amazing precision work with injectables, you are truly an artist. I appreciate you all.
I recently went to Ellemes for a PRF ez Gel treatment for my under eyes. For years now I have had dark circles, decreasing volume and look consistency tired so I went for a consult with Thao, the Nurse Injector at Ellemes. This was such a quick and easy procedure and I had no down time or bruising. After two weeks I could tell that the darkness decreased and I looked well rested and my skin had more of a glow. I will 100% be getting PRF ez Gel again, I love my results!
I can't say this enough, I absolutely love Ellemes Medical Spa. Not only is it conveniently located in Atlanta near my work, it is also home to one of the most passionate estheticians I've ever had the pleasure to work with. I get regular hydrafacials from Lauren and also dermaplaning. My skin after leaving an appointment is seriously glowing and I always look forward to my next visit. I have also had microneedling and IPL treatments from lauren in the past and wow what a transformation. If you live in Atlanta, you have to go to this med spa hands down.
This review is long over due, I've been a customer here for nearly 4 years. | | Hands down the best Medical Spa within the Atlanta Metro area. | | They are so welcoming, professional, and the place is always clean. | | Jaycee is the primary Licensed Aesthetician who provides my Microneedling and Hydrafacial services. She is so gentle, knowledgeable across all skin tones, doesn't try to push unnecessary treatments on me, and has proven results. | | So grateful for her and the ELLEMES Team for all the support over the years with improving my skin.
My experience with Jaycee Zotti was so calming and therapeutic, I felt like I was a celebrity. She made me feel so relaxed and answered my questions about microneedling and after I was finished fully explained my home care routine to get the most out of my treatment. | After a few days my skin looked like a sunburn but applying the lotion treatments as Jaycee instructed, it slowly faded and my skin looked and felt 10 years younger. | I would highly recommend any treatment that she performs. She's a caring genius dedicated to her craft!
I've been seeing Jaycee Zotti at Ellemes Med Spa for over a year now, and I can say with total confidence that she is a master of her craft. | | Our journey began with 4 Microneedling sessions to address various fine lines and wrinkles, and I was immediately impressed by her results-driven attitude and her deep knowledge of skincare techniques. However, my trust in her was truly solidified when I suffered a severe breakout of shingles on the left side of my face. | | Knowing how much I trusted her hands, I turned t...
I cannot say enough wonderful things about my experience with Lauren at Ellemes Medical Spa.

She approached my treatment with such professionalism and care, making me feel comfortable and confident in the process from the very beginning. Her experience truly shines thr...
I have never been happier with my skin! The aestheticians at Ellemes have far exceeded my expectations. I've been going to Ellemes for a little over a year and they have completely transformed my skin and provided me with a skincare routine to keep my skin beautiful, youthful and healthy! I have had hydrafacials, chemical peels, micro needling with PRP, dermaplaning and laser hair removal with life hanging results. | | Recently I saw Jaycee for a chemical peel. She took the time to analyse my skin and listen to my ...
I have been coming to Ellemes for the past few years now for the SkinPen microneedling treatments. I found them one day when I had another practice recommend a Halo treatment. I ended up calling 8 different practices that offered the Halo to get thorough feedback and information. Ellemes was the ONLY one that asked in-depth, fact finding questions to see if I actually needed Halo treatments. Halo is pretty intense and is on the more expensive side, so you want to be sure you actually need it before blasting your de...
