PRP VAMPIRE FACIAL TREATMENT
What is a Vampire Facial?
A Vampire Facial is another name for a Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) Facial.
In this facial, your blood is drawn and spun in a centrifuge. The machine spins the blood to separate the blood cells from the platelets rich in growth factors.
The skin is then micro-needled with a special tool, and the plasma is massaged into the skin immediately afterwards.
The treatment should yield better skin tone, skin-tightening, and better skin volume, with results continuing to improve for up to a year.
Avoiding unprotected and excessive sun exposure or tanning several weeks before your appointment, drinking lots of water in the days before your appointment can help promote faster healing.
What are the PRP facial side effects?
Bruises and inflammation, including swelling and redness, are the most common side effects.
They typically appear immediately after the procedure and clear within four to six days.
You’ll also want to avoid sun exposure and harsh skin treatments during this time. It’s
important that you don’t rub or pick at your face. Sun protection is also very important.
The good news is that PRP contains your own blood, so there’s little chance of cross-contamination or infection. Rare, but serious complications include infection and scarring.
Vampire Facial Aftercare
Recovery from this procedure is relatively minimal. You can go back to work the next day if you wish.
There may still be some redness and other signs of minor irritation, but you’ll want to avoid applying too many products to your skin.
Simply cleanse once a day and moisturize as needed. If desired, follow with a lightweight foundation or powder to minimize redness.
We may also recommend or provide products to help your skin recover. You’ll want to avoid alcohol-based products and exfoliants during the recovery stage. Proper sun protection is also very important.
Until your skin has completely healed, avoid rigorous activities that might cause excessive sweating and heat production. Examples include running, playing tennis, and heavy workouts.
Sweating may cause additional irritation, and rigorous activities may increase the risk of swelling or bruising. This usually should be avoided for at least 72 hours after your treatment.
