What is a vampire facial?

Also known as Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP), a vampire facial uses the body and skill cells’ own natural resources for healing and skin care. These resources can be found in the blood, specifically the components plasma and platelets.

Platelets are a source of great healing potential, as they promote cell regeneration, collagen production, increase blood flow and reduce inflammation.

During a vampire facial, blood is extracted and separated in a centrifuge so that the plasma can be concentrated. Then, it’s injected back into the skin to promote new collagen growth and reduce the signs of age.

A vampire facial is a powerful non-surgical procedure that can help you with:

• Improving the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, as well as acne scars

Is an RPR Facial painful?

The vampire facial is a non-surgical and minimally invasive treatment. The procedure involves creating tiny puncture holes on your face, stimulating the regenerating plasma production into the skin.

A vampire facial is a relatively painless experience. The puncture holes are microscopic and the overall procedure is comfortable and quick.

Is a Vampire Facial safe?

Yes, an RPR facial is a safe and effective treatment. Similar procedures are used for medical purposes, such as healing injured muscles, joints and tendons.

More importantly, this procedure only uses your own platelets. This means that there is no risk of allergies or other adverse reactions.

You may experience some mild redness and swelling due to the tiny microneedles for the first 24-48 hours after the treatment. No rest or healing time is required after a vampire facial.

Vampire Facial Aftercare

After the procedure, it is recommended to apply sunscreen every day to avoid any sun damage. You should also avoid any acids, including hyaluronic acid, retinol, and active ingredients for at least one week.

It is very important to avoid anything that could irritate your skin. You should only use gentle cleansers and moisturisers.

How long will the results of a Vampire Facial last?

You will start seeing the results of your vampire facial a couple of days after the treatment. This will last for six to 12 months, depending on your skin condition and how many sessions you’ve had.

During this time, you will notice an overall improvement in your skin appearance. Your dark circles will be diminished, wrinkles and soft lines will look softened, and any discolouration will fade. Your skin will look brighter, healthier and younger.

Conditions such as dull skin, acne and dark circles are all common occurrences and may affect the overall quality of the skin. Age is another factor that gradually changes appearance, making it harder for skin to bounce back because of a reduction in collagen, a compound that’s integral for promoting a healthy body.
