Now that storefronts and neighborhood yards are brimming with Halloween decorations, let’s talk about one of the most popular medical aesthetics treatments currently available. It’s commonly known as a “vampire facial,” and it can absolutely transform your complexion.
Her Secret MedSpa is proud to offer only the best treatments to the community of Mamaroneck, New York. Let’s take a closer look at vampire facials to see if this innovative treatment can help you reach your aesthetic ideal.
A vampire facial is a therapeutic facial treatment that combines the powers of microneedling and platelet-rich plasma (PRP). It’s important to understand the ways that a vampire facial differs from a traditional or spa facial.
A traditional facial involves a series of hands-on product applications, as well as elements like facial massage, steam, and deep relaxation. Cleansing, toning, moisturizing, and treating the skin with masks and serums is all part of the process.
A vampire facial is an advanced medical aesthetics treatment that uses state-of-the-art technology to stimulate your body’s natural healing powers.
Microneedling uses a handpiece covered in thin, sterile treatment needles to create tiny punctures in the outermost layers of your skin. Your body responds to these punctures with a healing reaction, improving circulation to the area and generating new collagen and elastin.
A vampire facial takes microneedling to a new level by incorporating the power of PRP. The process begins with a quick blood draw, similar to the experience of giving blood for routine lab testing. That blood goes into a centrifuge that spins it until the solid components separate from the liquid plasma.
Taking the platelets and returning them into the cleared plasma creates a concentrated solution rich in growth factors. Smoothing PRP over your face during microneedling allows the solution to penetrate deeply, where it goes to work boosting cell regeneration.
While the name might lead you to envision a cloaked vampire hovering over you waiting to take a bite, a vampire facial is nothing to be afraid of. When performed by highly skilled medical professionals, these treatments are safe and effective.
The highest safety standards are used while drawing a small sample of your blood, and also during the microneedling portion of the treatment. Disposable needles and treatment heads eliminate the risk of contamination, and numbing cream keeps you comfortable throughout.
After your treatment, a degree of swelling and minimal bleeding is expected. You’ll want to head home after your visit and give your body a chance to adjust. It doesn’t take long for the swelling to subside and your body to clear away any bruising and redness.
Over the next few weeks, you’ll begin to see the results of your vampire facial. As new collagen and elastin develop, skin becomes plumper and tighter, erasing fine lines and wrinkles. You’ll notice improvements in both the tone and texture of your skin over time.
When you’re ready to explore what a vampire facial can do for you, we’re happy to sit down with you and go over your options. It’s important to note that vampire facials are not a good fit for everyone, so be sure to let your practitioner know about all medications and supplements you’re taking, as well as your personal health history.
