Vampire Facelift

A vampire facial is also known as a Platelet-rich Plasma (PRP) facial.

In this treatment, blood is drawn from the patient’s arm and processed in order to separate platelet rich plasma (PRP) from the other components of blood.

This PRP is then reinserted into the facial areas to be treated via microneedlingor injected into the skin dermis.

The entire process helps to promote the rejuvenation of elastin fibers and collagen and heal the skin while giving it a more youthful appearance. The rejuvenation power comes from platelets that have growth factors in them. 

BENEFITS OF VAMPIRE FACIAL

Vampire facial or PRP facial, uses one’s own internal components of blood cells. These are responsible for cell growth, healing, tissue regeneration, and oxidative stress; so, it helps in healing and rejuvenation action

  • Healing acne scars
  • Reducing fine lines and wrinkles
  • Minimizing pores
  • Making the skin appear fresh and plump
  • Improving the skin texture and tone
  • Reducing dark circles
  • Improving the absorption rate of skin products
  • Improving the glow and brightness of the skin
  • Reducing skin pigmentation
  • Improving neck and hand rejuvenation     

Steps

  1. Blood is drawn from your arm. This is processed in a centrifuge to separate the platelet rich plasma from the rest of the blood components.
  2. Local anaesthetic cream is applied on your treatment area for 30-40 minutes.
  3. PRP is then injected via microneedling technique into your skin to stimulate the healing process.
  4. After the vampire facial,your skin will be soothed with a cream or some ice. 

Once your treatment is done, your skin will start healing itself the natural way over the course of few weeks.

So, you will gradually see great results.

One of the main advantages of a vampire facial is that it uses the patient’s own blood. So, there is hardly any chance of allergy or rejection of the plasma.

DOES IT HURT?

As it is done after anaesthesia,  the treatment is almost painless.

You will feel very minor discomfort. Again, each person’s tolerance levels for pain differs.

Also, do note that the treatment results in a bit of inflammation and bruising, as it is a minimally invasive procedure. So, you need to be prepared for these side-effects.

 We always give our patients a proper aftercare regime to help manage this. 

HOW MANY SESSIONS NEEDED?

The frequency of your facial will vary based on your skin condition so your dermatologist will advise you on how often you need a treatment.

Generally, we recommend a session once every three to four weeks, and at least three to four sessions should be performed for long-lasting results.

TIME TAKEN

The whole procedure should take a little over an hour. 

If you are seeking the ultimate solution to tackling your skin problems, a vampire facial is just the answer.
