Vampire Facial

A "vampire facial" is a popular term for a cosmetic procedure formally known as a Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) facial. This treatment involves using your own blood to rejuvenate your skin. Here’s a breakdown of how it works:
  1. Blood Draw: A small amount of your blood is drawn, typically from your arm.
  2. Processing: The blood is then placed in a centrifuge, which spins it rapidly to separate the components. This process isolates the platelet-rich plasma (PRP) from the rest of the blood.
  3. Application: The PRP is either injected into targeted areas of the face or applied to the skin during a microneedling session. Microneedling involves using a device with tiny needles to create micro-injuries in the skin, which helps the PRP penetrate deeper.
  4. Results: PRP is rich in growth factors that can help stimulate collagen production and promote healing. This can lead to improved skin texture, tone, and elasticity. Results are generally gradual and can take several weeks to become fully visible.
  5. Recovery: There’s typically minimal downtime. You might experience some redness, swelling, or bruising, but these effects usually subside within a few days.
  6. Risks: While PRP is derived from your own blood, making it generally safe, there’s still a small risk of infection or adverse reactions. It’s important to have the procedure done by a trained and experienced professional.

The term “vampire facial” comes from the use of your own blood, and it gained a lot of media attention after some celebrities and influencers underwent the treatment. If you’re considering it, make sure to consult with our certified practitioner to discuss your goals and any potential risks.
