WHAT IS A VAMPIRE FACIAL?
Available at Revitalize Aesthetics & Wellness in Columbus Georgia and Warner Robins Georgia The Vampire Facial is a highly sought-after cosmetic procedure that promotes collagen production and facial rejuvenation by restoring and promoting skin elasticity. Due to the procedure being minimally invasive with minimal downtime, it has become one of today’s most sought-after cosmetic treatments.
WHAT DOES A VAMPIRE FACIAL DO?
Vampire Facials use your own blood to create a mask that will stimulate collagen and elastin production, resulting in facial skin rehydration and restoration of a youthful appearance. Vampire facials can help improve skin tone, fill in acne scars, and reduce the appearance of fine lines.
HOW DOES A VAMPIRE FACIAL WORK?
Vampire facials are a type of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) treatment. PRP treatments extract a concentrated amount of platelets from your blood, which contain hundreds of proteins called growth factors.
During a vampire facial your practitioner will use microdermabrasion or micro-needling technique to prime your face, followed by a mask made of the patient’s blood from the initial draw. When your plasma is delivered back into your face, growth factors help stimulate the production of new collagen, and elastin that will give your face a rejuvenated appearance.
WHAT HAPPENS DURING A VAMPIRE FACIAL PROCEDURE?
As with other PRP treatments, the Vampire Facial procedure begins with drawing red blood cells that get sent through a centrifuge to separate out the platelet-rich plasma.
While the blood is being processed, the technician will apply a topical numbing cream to the patient’s face to prepare it for the micro-needling device. This device uses tiny needles to prime the skin cells for the blood mask.
The next step is the mask application: the practitioner uses the Pixel 8-RF Micro-Needling to apply your platelet-rich plasma back into your skin cells, which will quickly absorb the growth factors and prompt skin rejuvenation.
WHAT CAN I EXPECT AFTER MY VAMPIRE FACIAL PROCEDURE?
Patients may experience some mild redness, swelling, and skin sensitivity after their Vampire Facial procedure, but this typically subsides within 24 hours.
There is no downtime for recovery from the procedure, meaning patients can resume most of their normal activities immediately after treatment. However, patients should refrain from resuming their normal skincare routine for at least 48 hours after their procedure.
HOW QUICKLY WILL I SEE RESULTS FROM A VAMPIRE FACIAL?
Most patients notice results from their Vampire facial within the first week. The longevity of results varies between patients, but effects can last 4-12 months. For optimal results, patients typically do four treatments.
