Evolve Medical Associates is a trusted provider of wellness and aesthetic treatments in Charlotte, and you can rely on our trained medical professionals to deliver results that look natural and help you feel great, both inside and out. One of the most innovative aesthetic treatments we’re proud to offer is the Vampire Facial, a PRP treatment that promotes healthy skin. But what is PRP, and what makes a Vampire Facial so effective?
What is Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)?
PRP is a treatment where a small amount of blood is taken from the patient, and the platelets in the blood are isolated and applied back into the skin to improve texture and tone. Platelets are a type of blood cell that contain rich growth factors, so PRP can also be used medically to help injuries heal faster. Since PRP uses your body’s own cells to promote healing, it helps increase collagen and elastin production for natural facial and skin rejuvenation. While having your blood drawn may seem like a bit much for a facial, our medical professionals at Evolve are trained to safely carry out this procedure.
Expert PRP Care
Our own founder, Dr. Donald Sudy, is a member of the American Cellular Cosmetic Medicine Association and is an authorized Vampire treatment provider, and is also an experienced emergency medicine physician. We also have a trained phlebotomist on-site to assist, so you can rest assured your PRP treatment is in the safest hands.
What is a Vampire Facial?
A Vampire Facial combines microneedling with PRP for a unique skin rejuvenation experience. Microneedling creates tiny, controlled wounds in the skin, which will trigger the body’s natural healing process and collagen production. The Vampire Facial takes this a step further.
After platelets are isolated from the patient’s blood, they are then applied topically to the freshly microneedled face, where they can penetrate deeper into the skin layers and provide an extra energy boost to collagen and elastin production for even more effective results.
Is a Vampire Facial Right for Me?
If your face is showing signs of aging — such as your skin becoming gray due to less blood flow, your skin texture becoming less smooth, and your face feeling droopy or worn — you may benefit from a Vampire PRP Facial, but this treatment is not right for everyone. When you come to Evolve Medical Associates for a consultation, we will get to know a little bit more about you, your lifestyle and medical history, and your skin care concerns in order to craft a treatment plan just for you.

Patient Reviews
Excellent experience. Fast, friendly, and a real experienced doctor doing my injections.
I have been going there for 15 years. Everyone is so nice. It is not pretentious and very chill.
Dr Sudy is the best! I have been seeing him for Dysport for over a year and always have such a wonderful experience. The rest of the staff is also great - shout out to Courtney. I couldn’t recommend Evolve more!
I've had several sessions with Isabella for microneedling. She does a wonderful job of making the process as comfortable as possible. She is a pleasure to talk with and is always upbeat and positive. I really enjoy my time with her. She goes above and beyond to explain the process and what is the best treatment for your skin.
Have been a patient / client of Evolve for over 10 years having had vitamin infusions before /after surgery, multiple varicose vein treatments and 3-4 different types of facials / treatments offered. The staff has always been pleasant, professional and always answered any questions I might have. Drs Sudy / Yousuff have also referred me to specialists when felt it was the right option instead of trying to lure me into a procedure that wouldn’t really suit my needs or be in my best interest. Would recommend their practice without any doubts!
I have been going to Dr Sudy for years. ALWAYS a wonderful experience and outcome. This time I had Monica do my work. She is very professional & knowledgeable. Such a sweetheart! Everyone at the office is so nice. Always a great experience
I am immensely grateful to Isabella for the remarkable care and expertise she has provided during my BBL treatments. In just four sessions, my skin has undergone a significant transformation, and I couldn't be happier.From the very first consultation, Isabella's meticulous approach stood out. She took the time to understand my skin concerns and walked me through the entire process. Despite the unique challenges of my skin, she provided detailed explanations, even specifying the optimal wavelength for the procedure.I am thrilled with the progress my skin has made under her care. Each visit leaves me not only with improved skin but also with a genuine sense of happiness. Isabella even provided acne treatment samples, emphasizing her dedication to addressing every concern.In just four BBL treatments, Isabella has worked wonders for my skin. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking top-notch dermatological care.
Vampire Facial FAQs
Do Vampire Facials Hurt?
While you may feel a slight pinch when you get your blood drawn in order to isolate your platelets, Vampire Facials are about as painful as microneedling — which is to say, there is typically only a minor pricking sensation involved in the procedure, and topical numbing cream is used to minimize discomfort.
Is There Downtime for Vampire Facials?
Vampire Facials, like microneedling, are non-invasive and will result in some redness and irritation for a few days after treatment, but patients can return to most daily activities immediately afterwards.
When Will I See Vampire Facial Results?
Most patients will see results from a Vampire Facial within a week, with full results visible about one to two months after treatment as collagen production continues to improve the tone and texture of the skin over time.
How Long Will Results Last?
The results of a Vampire Facial can last anywhere from one to two years, but collagen production will eventually decrease as part of the body’s natural aging process. Vampire Facials can be performed as often as once every year for youthful, rejuvenated skin.
