How a Vampire Facial Uses Your Own Blood to Fight Aging

Aging is a fact of life, but not one that you have to wear on your face. Although sun and age produce wrinkles, age spots, sun damage, and other defects, you don’t have to give in and settle for older-appearing skin. 

New noninvasive procedures can rejuvenate your skin for a younger-appearing complexion giving you more confidence. The vampire facial is a popular aesthetic treatment at LifeWell M.D. Dr. Ramesh Kumar and our aesthetics team can perform this facial treatment to help you look the very best at any age. 

What is a vampire facial?

This remarkable aesthetic rejuvenation treatment gets its intimidating name from the fact that it uses your blood to enhance your skin’s repair processes. The technique is called platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy. 

A member of our aesthetic team draws a sample of your blood before the treatment begins. This blood sample is spun in a centrifuge to separate the different blood products. 

The plasma is separated and used in your facial treatment. This plasma contains a high concentration of stem cells and growth factors that promote healing and collagen production in your skin.

The treatment can also be combined with micro-needling to improve collagen production throughout your entire facial area. The PRP speeds up your skin’s natural rejuvenation process by supplying additional growth factors that promote healing. The result is glowing, smoother, younger-looking skin. 

A Vampire Facial from LifeWell M.D. can turn back the clock on your skin, erasing signs of aging, and minimizing lines and wrinkles. Your skin grows tighter, smoother, and more radiant as the skin cells replenish themselves. 

Vampire Facials is the preferred procedure if you have facial imperfections like: 

• Age spots
• Acne and Acne scars
• Aging skin on the neck or décolletage
• Crow’s feet
• Forehead lines
• Frown lines
• Marionette lines
• Melasma
• Smile lines
• Surgical scars
• Sun damage 

Our aesthetics team develops a customized facial treatment regimen for every patient. Your cosmetic concerns and problems form the basis of how we decide which treatments are best for you and how to administer your vampire facial. 

How soon will I see results? 

Although there’s no downtime with a vampire facial, you can expect your skin to be red or slightly inflamed for a few days.

Some results will be immediately noticeable, but you should see the optimum results in about three to twelve weeks as your body continues to use the increased growth factors to produce more collagen for healthier skin.
