Vampire Facial® With PRP in Arlington, TX

What is a Vampire Facial?

One of the goals of many skincare treatments is to boost collagen production. Vampire facials, also known as plasma-rich protein (PRP) facials, are one powerful way to do that. This unique procedure uses your own blood along with a micro-needling treatment to encourage the body to make more of its own collagen.

PRP is a part of the blood that’s been used for over 70 years in medical procedures. Doctors inject it into injured joints because it has a high concentration of growth factors that encourage healing.

When PRP is used in a facial, they add it to a micro-needling treatment. Micro-needling has been shown to improve collagen production because it triggers the natural wound-healing response. Adding PRP supercharges this process.

Benefits of a Vampire Facial

Collagen is one of the big differences between young, taut skin and skin showing aging signs. The skin becomes loose, textured, and thin when you lose collagen with age and sun exposure. Fine lines and wrinkles develop, and the skin loses the healthy bounce it once had.

Vampire facials work to bring back that lost texture and tone. Fine lines are reduced, and the skin is smoother and tighter. Another benefit of this treatment is that it helps improve the appearance of acne scars. The scars are smoothened out as more collagen is produced in the skin.

What Should You Expect with a Vampire Facial?

The first step is to draw a little of your blood. This sample is then spun in a centrifuge to separate the plasma and platelets from the red blood cells. Then the platelets are concentrated, creating PRP. Using your blood eliminates the risk of exposure to blood-borne illnesses from a donor.

Next, a numbing cream is applied to the skin to reduce discomfort during the next step. The micro-needling follows, and a special tool is used to create many tiny punctures in the skin. Finally, the PRP is spread on the skin to allow it to absorb.

Over the next few days, you will notice that your skin is a little red and sensitive. Remember, the magic is in the healing process, so you can expect some mild irritation as your body does its important work.

You may see some improvement within a few weeks, but it will take about six months to see the complete effects. You will probably get the best results from a series of treatments, but your skincare expert can evaluate your skin and tell you what approach will benefit you the most.
