This fancy name is a buzzword in the aesthetic industry, but for all those who have not opted for it yet, it isn't as dangerous and deadly as the name suggests. Vampire facials are executed with platelet-rich plasma and microneedling on the face to offer more collagen along with quality of collagen. The PRP is derived from your own blood, and then microneedling is done over it . Microneedling also induces controlled injury on the skin; hence, the name vampire facial is given to this procedure. The procedure harnesses your body’s innate healing tendencies by creating microchannels with tiny needles of a dermapen or dermaroller, and then plasma is injected and infused with a combination of needles and insulin syringes.
This blood facial became more popular after Kim Kardashian posted her photo with a blood-smeared face post her PRP with a microneedling session. This sensational treatment in the aesthetic industry was introduced to make your skin look younger and has shown remarkable results. The combination of PRP and microneedling is a power combo, as it triggers the repair mechanism and enhances skin function and skin structure by revitalizing aging cells and building elastin and collagen fibers. It definitely works on improving skin and is a safe procedure because your own plasma is used to bring improvement.
This unique regenerative therapy is best suited for guests looking for skin rejuvenation.
The cost of a vampire facial depends on the PRP tube and kit used to centrifuge blood. Because the quality of anticoagulant used in the PRP tube affects the plasma quality too. Also, the appliance used to centrifuge blood is also important, as the temperature should be maintained and the environment should be controlled appropriately to deliver the best outcome.
“You can become 10 years younger with this facial!” Oops…. This is a claim, and it is definitely not true. But yes, the results obtained from a vampire facelift are remarkably astonishing. And because of the notable difference it brings to you, this facial is so popular.
Post-procedure, the guest will experience mild erythema. The skin feels tight and sensitive to touch. One must avoid one's face for 24 hours. Also, owing to a lot of microchannels created in the skin by micro needling the skin can feel dry and flaky in the initial phase of healing.
The injection site at highly vascular points can exhibit a bruise, which is transient and subsides in 3 to 4 days. Sometimes there can be pinpoint scab formation visible at the tip of the injured site, which sheds off in a few days.
