A vampire facial is a form of facial treatment that uses platelet-rich plasma obtained from the blood of the patient. With this procedure, you can help to enhance the appearance of the skin on your face, relieve wrinkles, sun damage, and more.

Determining if the Vampire Facial is Right for You

Vampire facial is a procedure for patients who want to correct premature wrinkles, significant sun damage, and give their skin an even tone and youthful appearance. However, the treatment is not advisable for patients with a record of blood diseases such as clotting or bleeding disorders. This procedure involves drawing blood from the patient and isolating the platelet-rich plasma from it.

We then isolate the growth factors in the plasma before reinjecting it back into the face. This process will help to promote the growth factors in skin cells and revitalize them. A benefit of this treatment is that it involves the use of the patient's blood. The only risks would be bruising during injection or micro-needling and the uneasiness of blood draw.

Our team will take the necessary precautions to ensure the patient's safety. Before the procedure, we will go over the patient's medical history and any current conditions to determine if they are candidates for this treatment.

How the Vampire Facial Works

Platelets possess growth factors, which, when reinjected into the skin tissue, will promote collagen production over time. The skin of young people is highly rich in collagen and contributes to their firm and supple skin. Collagen is a protein that gives skin volume and tightness. However, the amount of collagen in the skin diminishes as people grow older.

Improved collagen production helps to smooth fine lines, soften acne scars, and improve skin texture. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injection treatments have been applied in sports medicine for many years since platelets are known to accelerate the healing process. The injection is also used as hair loss treatment since platelets can help boost hair growth and hair fullness.

What to Expect From the Procedure

The amount of blood taken from the patient depends on the area size of treatment. The doctor might draw about an ounce of blood for smile lines. For larger areas or complete face treatment, they might draw two or three ounces. Different practices have their routine and treatment processes. Some draw a quarter of an ounce for a full facial, including targeted injections for deep lines or wrinkles. Treatment for smaller areas needs small amounts.

New patients will need to fill out a "New Patient Information Form" that covers the patient's medical history, current condition, allergies, insurance, and any other relevant factors we need to know. The patient can fill this form out before the appointment. The doctor will start by taking blood from the patient and store the vial of blood in a centrifuge. In some cases, we will draw the blood from the arm, like drawing blood during a routine checkup.

The centrifuge spins the blood at high speed until the red and white blood cells separate from the plasma, creating a serum with high platelet count. The doctor will then reinject the PRP serum into the patient's skin through direct injection. Our team will take every precaution necessary to ensure comfort during the procedure. By using a numbing cream, the patient will not feel any sensation or pain during the procedure.

Following the Treatment

We will then guide the patient through the recovery process. Following the procedure, patients will have firmer, youthful skin, lessened wrinkles, softened acne scars, and better skin texture. The results of the procedure will vary per patient. Following the treatment, the patient needs to avoid touching the treated area for at least six hours. The patient also needs to stay out of the sun.

We will go over other precautions and how long the patient will need to continue recovery before returning to their routine. The result of a vampire facial is a huge confidence booster for many people who are concerned about their appearance.
