What is a Vampire Facial?
The vampire facial is a type of beauty treatment procedure. It involves a combination of Platelet-rich Plasma (PRP) (1) and microneedle stimulation. This procedure aims to rejuvenate the skin of a patient’s face by triggering collagen production using their blood. As a result, the procedure helps enhance their skin tone, texture, and elasticity. Plus, it may help reduce their acne scars, fine lines, and large pores.
How does the platelet-rich plasma treatment work?
If you’re not aware of the human blood, it consists of red blood cells (RBC), white blood cells (WBC), platelets, and plasma. The platelets in the human blood, in particular, helps boost the process of blood clotting or coagulation (a natural response of the body to prevent excessive blood loss in case of an injury or wound).
In this regard, Platelet-rich Plasma (PRP) can help heal wounds faster, trigger the collagen production and tissue regeneration as it offers a higher concentration of platelets than normal blood.
A small amount of blood is usually extracted from the patient’s body in a vampire facial treatment and then put in a centrifuge. Then this device is spun at high speed to separate PRP for the treatment purpose.
Once the platelet-rich plasma is ready, a unique device, which is in the form of a pen or derma roller, is used to puncture the skin and administer the PRP concentrate.
Benefits of Vampire Facials
Now, let’s take a look at some of the primary benefits of vampire facials.
Improved collagen production
After 25, the collagen production rate drops significantly, and the skin starts looking unhealthy if a person is not taking good care of it.
Since a vampire facial triggers collagen production, it improves skin quality by reducing folds, wrinkles, and fine lines. The increase of collagen production in the human body after this type of treatment responds to skin cell trauma when the fine needles penetrate the skin’s top layer.
