Benefits of a Vampire Facial

Younger, brighter looking skin

The vampire facial is a non-surgical, minimally invasive way to achieve younger, brighter looking skin.

Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy (Vampire Facial)

Utilising the body’s natural healing abilities, platelet rich plasma therapy promotes the creation of new tissue, giving your skin a healthy, youthful appearance.

A small amount of the patients own blood is taken and the plasma is then separated out from the rest of the blood, by means of a centrifuge to create the platelet rich plasma. This plasma is then injected into the area of concern where the platelets release their growth factors.

PRP helps restore a healthy, young glow by enhancing the texture, tone, and elasticity of the skin as well as by regenerating collagen. It is well known to rejuvenate the skin while adding volume and enhancing skin tone and texture.

The Vampire Facial, Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy is a highly acclaimed treatment which uses the body’s own resources to repair and rebuild skin cells with a combination of medical microneedling and prp. Amalgamating this popular treatment with medical-grade microneedling, synergistic collagen-boosting effects are achieved.

When PRP is massaged into the skin following microneedling, it is better absorbed through the micro-channels, reaching deeper and more evenly into the skin for optimal rejuvenation.

Patients can expect excellent results very quickly, seeing a reduction in unwanted concerns such as fine lines, wrinkles and scars, in addition to improved skin elasticity and overall skin condition.

FAQs

What is the process?

The first step is the initial blood draw, which is relatively painless. Your blood is then placed in a centrifuge to separate the plasma and platelets from the red blood cells.

Before the microneedling portion of the treatment begins, a topical numbing cream is applied to the face to manage any discomfort of the needling.

Once the numbing cream is active and the microneedling has been completed, the PRP is rubbed on the skin. The PRP should remain on the skin for the rest of the day to maximize results. Patients will notice dry, red, sensitive skin, much like a light sunburn for the first few days after treatment.

What are the benefits?

There are many benefits to the vampire facial, including boosting the turnover of skin cells, improving skin tone and texture. Microneedling with PRP will also reduce fine lines and signs of aging. This treatment can be especially helpful for those who suffered from acne and have visible acne scars or skin damage from prolonged exposure to the sun.

How long will the results last?

Again, each client is different, however, on average you should expect to see results for 6-12 months.

Can anyone have this treatment?

Most everyone is a candidate for microneedling with PRP. This procedure can give a fresher appearance to those with wrinkles and fine lines, high levels of solar damage, or uneven skin tones. You may not be a candidate if you have a history of blood disease, including clotting or bleeding disorders.

When can I get started?

We will need to book you in for a consultation where the treatment can be discussed in more detail so we can assess your suitability. Once you have had this discussion with Hollie, a registered nurse, you can go ahead with your treatment.
