PRP and the Vampire Facial in Wellington, FL
A Minimally Invasive Treatment With Natural Results
PRP, or platelet rich plasma, in Wellington is a minimally invasive treatment that uses a small sample of your own blood to help your skin heal, boost collagen, and look younger, naturally. At Palm Beach Anti Aging, PRP is performed by our physician, Dr. Saulis Banionis, M.D., and is used on its own or as the popular Vampire Facial, where PRP is paired with microneedling. Because it uses your own blood, it is a safe, natural option with very low risk of allergic reaction, and delivers noticeable results without surgery or harsh chemicals. Serving Wellington, Royal Palm Beach, and West Palm Beach.
What is PRP?
PRP stands for platelet rich plasma. A small sample of your own blood is spun in a special machine to separate the platelet rich plasma, which is full of natural growth factors. This plasma is then applied or injected into targeted areas of the face, body, or scalp, where it works by stimulating collagen production and your body’s own repair processes. The result is firmer, smoother, healthier looking skin, achieved naturally using your own biology.
How does PRP work?
PRP works by concentrating the growth factors already in your blood and delivering them where they are needed. Those growth factors signal your skin to produce new collagen, renew tissue, and repair itself, which helps tighten skin, smooth fine lines, and improve tone and texture. Because it relies on your body’s natural renewal, results build gradually over the weeks after treatment and look completely natural.
What does PRP treat?
PRP is versatile and can address many concerns naturally, including:
| Concern | How PRP helps |
|---|---|
| Dull, tired skin | Refreshes and restores a healthy glow |
| Fine lines and wrinkles | Boosts collagen to soften early signs of aging |
| Acne scars and texture | Encourages repair for smoother skin |
| Skin laxity | Supports firmer, tighter skin over time |
| Uneven tone | Improves overall clarity and radiance |
| Thinning hair | Supports the scalp and hair follicles when used for hair restoration |
What is the difference between PRP and PRF?
Both PRP and PRF use your own blood, and both are natural and safe. The difference is in processing. PRP is spun faster to concentrate platelet rich plasma and growth factors. PRF, platelet rich fibrin, is spun more slowly and without additives, which retains more healing cells and forms a thicker matrix that releases growth factors gradually. In practice, PRP is excellent for facials and overall rejuvenation, while PRF is often chosen for delicate areas like under the eyes. Dr. Banionis will recommend the best option for you.
| PRP | PRF |
|---|---|
| Spun faster to concentrate plasma | Spun slower, no additives |
| Rich in growth factors | Retains more healing cells and fibrin |
| Great for facials and glow | Great for delicate areas and gradual release |
What is the Vampire Facial (PRP facial)?
The PRP Facial, also known as the Vampire Facial, has become popular thanks to celebrities using it to keep their skin looking camera ready and glowing. It combines platelet rich plasma with sterile microneedling: the microneedling creates tiny channels that stimulate collagen, and the PRP, full of your own growth and healing factors, is delivered into the deeper levels of the skin through those channels. Together they amplify each other for brighter, smoother, more rejuvenated skin.
The medical microneedling part is a method of collagen induction therapy, or CIT: the tiny entries into the dermis prompt the skin to respond with new collagen, which softens fine lines, wrinkles, and superficial sun damage. Delivering PRP into those channels enhances the effect, because the growth factors in your plasma further stimulate collagen and skin supporting renewal. PRP also contains factors that stimulate blood supply to the skin, creating a glow and luster that is unique to platelet rich plasma. When done correctly, the procedure is comfortable, essentially painless, and without bleeding.
The Vampire Facial is a favorite for overall glow, texture, pores, and fine lines, with a natural result and minimal downtime. Benefits can be appreciated as soon as one week, continue to improve over several weeks, and can last for months. Each facial is customized to your skin.

Is PRP safe, and who performs it?
PRP has an excellent safety profile because it is made entirely from your own blood, so there is very low risk of allergic reaction or rejection. As with any injectable or microneedling treatment, it should be performed by a qualified medical provider. At Palm Beach Anti Aging, PRP is performed by our physician, Dr. Saulis Banionis, M.D., for safe, expert, natural results.
Is PRP good for acne scars and texture?
Yes. PRP, especially as a Vampire Facial with microneedling, is a popular natural option for improving acne scars, texture, and pores. The microneedling remodels scarred tissue while the PRP delivers growth factors that support healing and collagen, so skin becomes smoother and more even over a series of treatments. It is a great choice for patients who want real improvement without synthetic fillers or harsh treatments.
Can PRP be used for hair restoration?
Yes. PRP is also used as a natural treatment for thinning hair. When injected into the scalp, the concentrated growth factors can support the hair follicles and encourage healthier, fuller looking hair over a series of sessions. Results vary from person to person, and Dr. Banionis will discuss whether PRP for hair is a good fit for your goals at your consultation.
What are the benefits of PRP?
Patients choose PRP for a natural, low risk approach with real benefits:
- Uses your own blood, so it is natural with very low risk of allergic reaction
- Stimulates your own collagen and skin repair
- Improves tone, texture, fine lines, and glow
- No synthetic fillers or harsh chemicals
- Quick, minimally invasive, with little to no downtime
- Natural looking results that build over a few weeks
- Can be combined with microneedling as a Vampire Facial
Is there downtime after PRP?
PRP and the Vampire Facial have minimal downtime. After a microneedling based PRP facial, expect mild redness, like a light sunburn, for about a day or two. Injected PRP may cause minor swelling or bruising that resolves quickly. Most people return to normal activities right away, and daily SPF is important afterward, especially in the Florida sun. Your provider will share simple aftercare steps.
How many PRP treatments will I need?
Because PRP stimulates your own renewal, most patients see the best results from a series of treatments spaced several weeks apart, followed by periodic maintenance. Concerns like acne scars or hair often need more sessions than a general glow treatment. Dr. Banionis will recommend a plan and realistic timeline for your goals.
