What is a PRP Facial Rejuvenation?
A PRP facial rejuvenation, also known as a vampire facial, is an advanced skincare treatment method that harnesses your body’s own natural power to heal itself. It is often called a vampire facial because it involves drawing your blood. Your blood is made up of four primary components: red blood cells, white blood cells, plasma and platelets.
When the platelets in the plasma are concentrated, magic happens. To achieve concentrated levels of platelets in plasma, all four components of your blood are separated by density. Then, the platelets are injected into the plasma, excluding the red and white blood cells.
Benefits of a Vampire Facial
The widespread benefits of PRP have led to its use as a cosmetic treatment for the following issues:
- Toning and tightening skin
- Reducing wrinkles and fine lines
- Crow’s feet and dark circles under eyes
- Moderate collagen loss and volume depletion
- Acne scars
- Rosacea
An overall improvement in skin hydration, texture and tone can be seen after just a few weeks of treatment. New collagen begins to develop after three to six weeks, and lessening of facial wrinkles and fine lines as well as increased volume occurs over the next three to six months. Cosmetic PRP effects may last from 12 months to two years, depending on the patient.
While PRP Cosmetic creates a longer-lasting improvements in the skin, it takes a bit of time to work. For patients wanting a more immediate effect, PRP Cosmetic can be combined with hyaluronic acid dermal fillers such as Juvederm or Restylane for quick volume correction.
Am I a Good Candidate for a Vampire Facial?
One of the most underrated benefits of a vampire facial is that it is right for nearly everyone. Prescription anti-aging ointments, creams and lotions can cause nasty side effects depending on your skin type, allergies and other factors. A vampire facial, on the other hand, uses blood from your own body. There’s no chance of an allergic reaction. There’s no chance that your body will reject it as a foreign substance because it’s a native substance.
You may be a good candidate for a vampire facial if you:
- Suffer from acne scars
- Are afflicted by hyperpigmentation
- Want to reduce fine lines and wrinkles
- Want tighter, firmer skin
- Have uneven skin tone
- Are not ready for a facelift
- Have dry skin
- Feel your skin looks older than it should
Keep in mind, however, that people with certain clotting conditions requiring the regular use of blood thinners or other blood-related disorders are not the ideal candidate for a vampire facial.
