Vampire Facial

Treatment time: 45 minutes

What is a Vampire Facial?

The Vampire Facial is a procedure which creates tiny channels along the skin surface. PRP is then applied topically to the skin, allowing the full penetration of PRP deep down into the dermis and epidermis layers of the skin.

This is a procedure that involves withdrawing a patient’s blood, processing it to isolate the platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and growth factors, then placing it into the folds of the face to erase wrinkles and create a more youthful appearance.

PRP contains several potent growth factors along with other rebuilding platelets that stimulate the healing of soft tissue. In the body, platelets are responsible for helping rebuild damaged tissue and increasing the circulation to add glow into the skin. Externally, studies have shown that platelets can stimulate your stem cells resulting in the growth of new healthy tissue providing an excellent foundation for your skin.

Topically applying the PRP enables it to get wider and deeper into the skin, compared to injections where the PRP is isolated into the injected area. The microneedling allows PRP to get into the skin more evenly affecting the total face. This application can be used for the face, neck, and decollate.

A Vampire Facial will improve skin texture and tone and can be used to soften acne scars, surgical scars, stretch marks, and fine lines.

How Does the Vampire Facial Work?

Traditional microneedling is used to treat everything from age spots and wrinkles to scarring and other forms of hyperpigmentation. PRP injections may boost these effects and help you achieve your desired results faster.

Although microneedling can be used to treat scars and stretch marks on other areas of the body, PRP is designed for the face only.

The Vampire Facial works by making controlled micro injuries in your skin, which your body will then heal while producing collagen. More collagen means smoother, younger looking skin

How Long Can I Expect My Results To Last?

Because PRP stimulates collagen production, results may continue to improve several months after the initial treatments. That’s because the plasma stimulates their skin’s stem cells to produce more collagen, grow new cells, and literally rejuvenate the skin. The new cell growth in skin generated by the platelet rich plasma takes weeks to months, which is why it looks so much better after more time passes. Therefore, platelet rich plasma lasts and looks better as long as 18 months to two years.

What’s the downtime of Vampire Facial?

The downtime is about 3–5 days. According to Whitney, on days 1–3, it may look like you have a sunburn, and your skin may feel tight, dry, swollen, or sensitive to the touch. On days 3–5, your skin should start to return to its normal tone and any swelling should subside, though there is still the possibility of some minor peeling or flaking.
