Vampire facials involve the injection of platelet-rich plasma extracted from your own blood along with hyaluronic acid filler under your facial skin, providing a more natural approach to wrinkle and fine-line fillers. These injections are used to immediately smooth and fill in any wrinkles or creases that have developed on the skin and improve the overall glow of your complexion.

The function of a vampire facial includes increasing the rate of skin cell turnover to improve the overall tone and texture of the skin. It is considered a great option for those looking to rejuvenate the appearance of their facial skin, as it is non-surgical, minimally invasive, and uses mostly your own blood, ensuring a lower-risk procedure than most. The platelet-rich plasma that is used in the injections has been shown to increase the production of collagen and elastin, making the skin appear to be plumper, tighter, and smoother.

Since the procedure is minimally invasive, unlike many other facial rejuvenation treatments, patients will not need to plan for much downtime, allowing them to continue living their lives without having to take time off of work or require more childcare assistance immediately after the procedure.

Microneedling is a cosmetic procedure that involves the use of tiny needles penetrating the skin to cause superficial injuries, causing the skin cells to produce collagen to treat the area and triggering a rapid healing process in the skin cells. The benefits of general microneedling include the toning and tightening of the skin, a reduction in fine lines and wrinkles, an increase in elasticity and collagen production, and a reduction in visible acne scars.

Vampire facials are considered a form of advanced microneedling that uses platelet-rich plasma from your own blood to enhance the results experienced from normal microneedling. The benefits of the addition of platelet-rich plasma into the skin during the microneedling process include all of the typical microneedling benefits, including a faster recovery time with minimal to no downtime needed and longer lasting effects by boosting the production of collagen even more and for longer periods of time.

Essentially, using your own cells in the process allows for the mirconeedling process to be an even less invasive procedure with longer-lasting results.

Achieving the desired final results of vampire facials with their lasting effects may take a few treatments. At the beginning of the build-up of initial treatments, it is recommended that patients receive the treatment every few weeks. Patients could require anywhere from 3 to 6 initial treatments before just regular maintenance treatments are necessary for continuing results. Maintenance treatments are typically only recommended two to four times per year. However, many patients will opt to receive different facial rejuvenation procedures in between their vampire facial treatments to aid in the maintenance of desired results, depending on how dramatic they wish for the results to appear.

Some other procedures that many patients will opt to receive alongside vampire facials include microneedling with radiofrequency, microdermabrasion (a resurfacing laser), or some other types of fillers such as Botox. While receiving a vampire facial in conjunction with other treatments can provide the dramatic results that many patients desire, for those who want a more natural, younger appearance, a vampire facial is more than enough.
