Renew your skin naturally.
A vampire facial uses blood-derived growth factors from your PRP and is a safe procedure for renewing the skin of the face and other areas of the body. The procedure uses a microneedling pen which creates hundreds of tiny punctures allowing the PRP to penetrate deep into the dermis. Once the growth factors have penetrated the epidermis, they recruit your own stem cells to the area, working to create more youthful cells and giving you a refreshed and rejuvenated appearance.
Benefits include:
- Improvement of texture
- Improves skin tone
- Reduces pore size
- Improves acne scarring/sunspots
- Over-all glowing appearance
What to Expect
Following your blood draw performed by a medical professional, our specialized technology extracts the liquid gold known as PRP. This magic substance is what is used in combination with microneedling to stimulate your collagen! To ensure you are as comfortable as possible, your skin expert will apply a topical numbing cream prior to your treatment.
Immediately after your service, you can expect redness and some warmth - this just means your skin is actively healing itself! For the next couple of days, it’s best to stay out of sunlight and protect your skin. Your skin expert will help you create an at-home regime to ensure you see your best results!
