Vampire Facial in austin, tx

What is the Vampire Facial?

A VAMPIRE FACIAL combines microneedling and platelet-rich plasma (PRP). Microneedling uses tiny needles to create small injuries in the skin, boosting collagen production. The needle sizes range from 0.5 to 2.5 millimeters. PRP, rich in growth factors, is applied to the skin beforehand to aid healing and address various skin problems. We also use a numbing cream to ensure a more comfortable experience.

What are platelets and why do they help with healing?

Platelets are part of your blood that help stop bleeding and form clots. When you get a cut, your body quickly creates a clot at the site, which includes platelets. These platelets hold many growth factors that signal the body to heal and regenerate. In the Vampire Facial, we concentrate the platelets and inject them into your skin.

How do you get PRP?

PRP, or platelet-rich plasma, is derived from your own plasma and platelets. During the procedure, your healthcare provider will draw a small vial of your blood and then place this vial into a specialized machine known as a centrifuge. This centrifuge is utilized to effectively separate the plasma and platelets from the red blood cells, ensuring that you receive a concentrated form of your body’s own healing components.

What should I expect during my Dracula Facial?

After your consultation and once you feel comfortable, a small amount of blood is drawn. This blood is spun in a centrifuge to separate the platelets from the red blood cells. To ensure your comfort, a strong anesthetic cream is applied to your face, with most clients reporting little to no discomfort.

Using a microneedling pen, we create tiny channels in the skin to stimulate collagen production. PRP is then applied during the process to enhance absorption through the micro channels.

You may experience redness for 2-3 days and should use broad-spectrum SPF 30+ while avoiding direct sunlight. Improvements will start to show shortly after the procedure, and results will continue to enhance over several months. The full effect will be evident after 6 months and can last up to 1-2 years.

What are the benefits?

There are many benefits to the Vampire facial, including boosting the turnover of skin cells, production of collagen and improving skin tone and texture. Microneedling with PRP will also reduce fine lines and signs of aging. This treatment can be especially helpful for those who suffered from acne and have visible acne scars or skin damage from prolonged exposure to the sun. Some other benefits are:

• Improves the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles

• Combating volume loss with increased collagen and elastin production

• Improving dark circles under the eyes

• Minimizing acne scarring

• General rejuvenation for more youthful skin

• Reduces acne scars

• Evens skin tone

• Reduces the appearance of large pores

• Gives the skin a fresh glow

• Gives the skin a firmer and smoother texture

• Helps lighten sun spots

• Reduces broken capillaries and spider veins

Is a VAMPIRE Facial safe?

Vampire facials are safe since they use your own plasma and platelets. This procedure, like many others, needs clean tools in a sterile setting. Unclean tools raise the risk of infection, so research your provider carefully. Overall, Vampire facials are non-invasive and can be safely done by a licensed medical professional with the right tools and training.

How long until I see results?

The time it takes to see full results varies for each patient based on age, skin type, and other factors. Noticeable results may appear within 2-12 weeks. Your provider might suggest multiple treatment sessions if it’s your first time to reach your goals. After the initial sessions, one to two treatments each year are usually recommended for optimal results.

How much does a Vampire Facial cost?

The Vampire Facial costs $349 per session.
