Vampire Facial

scroll

Vampire facials are a cutting-edge skin rejuvenation treatment ideal for helping you reverse the effects of aged skin while rejuvenating your look. This innovative procedure, also known as PRP or Platelet-Rich Plasma therapy, utilizes the body’s natural healing responses to stimulate collagen production, improve skin texture, and enhance overall complexion.

What is a Vampire Facial?

A vampire facial involves micro-needling and PRP therapy. During the treatment, a small amount of your blood is drawn and placed in a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich plasma from the rest of the blood components. The PRP, rich in growth factors and cytokines, is applied topically to the skin or injected into your targeted areas. Micro-needling, performed using a device with fine needles, creates controlled micro-injuries in the skin, stimulating collagen and elastin production and enhancing the absorption of PRP.

Candidates for Vampire Facials

Ideal candidates for vampire facials include individuals wishing to improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, hyperpigmentation, and overall skin texture. Vampire facials are suitable for individuals of all skin types and can address a wide range of concerns. Candidates should be in good overall health and have realistic expectations about the treatment’s outcomes. The best way to determine your candidacy is through a private consultation with Dr. Nowak.

Vampire Facial Procedure

The vampire facial procedure begins with a consultation with Dr. Nowak to assess your skin concerns and create a customized treatment plan for your needs. During the treatment, the skin is cleansed and prepared, and the PRP solution is applied either topically or injected into the skin using a fine needle. Micro-needling is then performed, creating controlled micro-injuries to stimulate the skin’s natural healing response and enhance the absorption of PRP. The entire procedure typically takes about 60-90 minutes to complete, depending on the size of the area being treated.

Vampire Facial Recovery

Recovery after a vampire facial requires minimal downtime. Patients may experience mild redness, swelling, or bruising in the treated area, which typically subsides within a few days. You must follow the aftercare instructions provided by your specialist, which include avoiding direct sunlight, wearing sunscreen, and using gentle skincare products to support the skin’s healing process.

Vampire Facial Results

The results of a vampire facial become noticeable within weeks to months following the procedure, as collagen production is stimulated, and the skin’s texture and tone improve. Many patients report reduced fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, hyperpigmentation, overall skin rejuvenation, and a more youthful appearance. With proper maintenance and a healthy skincare regimen, the results of a vampire facial can be long-lasting, providing individuals with renewed confidence in their skin’s appearance.

Frequently Asked Questions About the Vampire Facial

Is a vampire facial the same as PRP?

A vampire facial is not the same as PRP. It uses PRP, but a vampire facial is not only PRP alone. It uses PRP along with microneedling to stimulate collagen and elastin production, reduce pore size, and address a variety of skin concerns like fine lines and wrinkles, acne scars, and hyperpigmentation.

How do vampire facials work?

Vampire facials work by using components from your own blood to rejuvenate the skin. On top of that, it includes microneedling, which makes tiny punctures in the skin to stimulate collagen and elastin production. Together, the PRP and microneedling smooth out lines and wrinkles and reduce the appearance of other skin imperfections.

How long do the results of vampire facials last?

How long the results of your vampire facial last will depend on how well you take care of your skin and whether you receive maintenance treatments or not. With proper care, you can expect the result to last for a year or more.

What is the difference between microneedling and vampire facials?

The biggest difference between microneedling and vampire facials is the use of platelet-rich plasma (PRP). Microneedling on its own doesn’t use PRP, while a vampire facial combines microneedling and PRP.

How much does a vampire facial treatment cost?

On average, a vampire facial treatment can cost anywhere from $1,000 to $1,500 per session. The price can depend on the number of sessions you receive and the microneedling device used.

How many vampire facial treatments will I need?

We typically recommend 3-6 vampire facial treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart for the best results. How many treatments you will need will depend on the results you’re looking for and your current skin condition.

Who is not a candidate for PRP?

While PRP is typically a good option for many patients, some people are not good candidates for treatment. If you have an active infection, have a bleeding disorder, are pregnant, or have certain medical conditions, you may not be a good candidate for PRP.

How do you prepare for a vampire facial?

To prepare for a vampire facial, you’ll want to drink plenty of water, avoid excess sun exposure, and avoid taking blood thinners. You will also need to come to your appointment with a completely clean, makeup-free face.

What is recovery like after a vampire facial?

Recovery from a vampire facial is relatively simple. You may have some mild discomfort, bruising, and swelling, but those side effects will dissipate within a couple of days to a week. You will want to avoid excess sun exposure and harsh skincare products. You will be able to return to your normal routine within three to four days.

How long will it take to notice the results of a vampire facial?

It usually takes a few weeks to a month before you notice the results of a vampire facial and you may continue to see improvement for the next 3 months. It takes time for the PRP to go into effect and for the collagen and elastin to build up in the skin.

What is PRP?

PRP, or platelet-rich plasma, is a natural treatment made from your own blood that is concentrated to contain high levels of growth factors. When injected or applied to targeted areas, PRP stimulates healing, boosts collagen production, and improves tissue regeneration. It’s widely used in aesthetics and wellness for skin rejuvenation, hair restoration, sexual health, and joint repair.
