The Vampire Facial

The Secret toBetter SkinIs Inside You.

Facial injection therapy, also known as the vampire facial or facelift, is a simple and near painless procedure which uses factors drawn from your own blood, to stimulate new cell growth and reduce the appearance of wrinkles & fine lines

Your blood has a variety of growth factors and substances with reparative and healing properties. The procedure puts a small quantity of your blood through a proprietary process to separate the growth factors, and creates a facial injection meant to reduce the signs of aging by revitalizing facial tissue.

It is used on the face, neck and hands to repair sun damaged or ageing skin by naturally stimulating your own body to regenerate itself.

The therapy is non-surgical, with little to no side effects or risk of allergic reaction.

Microneedling with Facial Injection Therapy

The vampire facial is a groundbreaking medical treatment that improves and restores healthy, radiant and youthful looking skin. When the serum is inserted into the skin through microneedling, this causes small injuries that activate the factors in your blood and allows them to do what they do best: repair the tissue in that area by releasing healing proteins. When growth factors are extremely above their normal concentration, it boosts the skin’s ability to rejuvenate.

Essentially, the vampire facial encourages the body to use its own natural healing process in the areas that need more help.

In cosmetic medicine, facial injection therapy is used to treat specific areas of the skin to promote collagen growth and regenerate tissue; in order to obtain naturally smoother and tighter skin.

The vampire facial is highly effective for both men and women.

Benefits of the Vampire Facelift

Facial injections stimulate cell growth in the applied area, and aids the healing process in the face, without the use of chemicals or foreign substances. Described as the ultimate biological facelift, the vampire facelift, does not cause allergic reactions or infections, because the applied factors come from the patient’s own body.

Increased Collagen Production

Whether you’re dismayed by fine lines or moderate wrinkles, there’s a good chance that a vampire facial will enhance the quality of your skin. When skin cell trauma occurs, an increase of collagen is produced. This occurs during a vampire facial when the minuscule needles penetrate the upper layers of your skin during the microneedling portion of your treatment.

Reduced Fine Lines and Wrinkles

Lines and wrinkles are among the most common reasons people seek a vampire facial. These common signs of aging are diminished substantially, as your facial skin tightens naturally in response to the micro-injuries produced by the treatment. The appearance of deeper folds is also diminished as hollow areas of your face are plumped up.

Tighter, Firmer Skin

Facial skin often thins with age, and certain parts of the face, like the lips and cheeks, are likely to become noticeably thin and gaunt. Collagen plumps up the skin. Patients often use a vampire facial to plump up their lips, while others use it to re-contour their cheeks without the need for an invasive medical procedure.

Enhanced Skin Tone and Texture

If you have scars due to acne, surgery, injury, stretch marks or other forms of skin inperfections, you can benefit from facial injection therapy. A vampire facial promotes old skin cells to give birth to new, healthy cells, thus improving the tone and texture of your skin.

Lasting Results

Some anti-aging treatments last only a week or two before you need to receive them again. Contrastingly, you only need to get a vampire facial every year or two to retain your youthful look. Even better, you need fewer treatments with a vampire facial than traditional microneedling to achieve your ideal aesthetic.

Vampire Facial Procedure

Process

The therapy consists of injecting the growth factor serum into the target areas. When combined with microneedling, multiple superficial microscopic perforations are made in the facial skin and the prepared serum is gently applied onto the area.

Duration

The Vampire Facial™ is virtually painless and can treat most skin types. The procedure is relatively quick, lasting approximately 40-50 minutes total, including time for blood drawing and processing, as well as anesthetic cream application.

Sensation

Patients may experience some pain and slight bruising following a Vampire Facial. However, it is typically considered well-tolerated by most individuals. You can usually return to your normal routine and work almost immediately following the cosmetic treatment.

Recovery

The downtime for vampire facials varies from person to person, but patients typically notice a significant improvement after the first two or three days. Following the treatment, you may experience redness, bruising and swelling. Cold compresses can help reduce discomfort.

Process

When you first arrive at your appointment, we will begin with a simple blood draw, just like a routine blood test. Then, using a proprietary technique, factors from your blood will be separated and concentrated into a serum that will be injected into your skin. We will apply an anesthetic cream beforehand to reduce discomfort. The therapy consists of injecting the growth factor serum into the target areas. When combined with microneedling, multiple superficial microscopic perforations are made in the facial skin and the prepared serum is gently applied onto the area.

Vampire Facial FAQ

Q : Is the Vampire Facial procedure safe?

A : Yes. Because the procedure uses your own blood, there is no risk of allergic reaction and no possibility of a tainted blood product.

Q : How long does the treatment take?

A : The treatment is not long. However, you should plan to stay at our clinic for about 1 hour. This includes time for collection and processing of the blood, letting the anesthesia take effect, the microneedling and aftercare instructions.

Q : How soon will I see results?

A : Results begin to show 3 to 4 weeks after the treatment session and continue to improve with time.

Q : Does the treatment hurt?

A : Topical anesthetic will be applied before the treatment begins. Most patients report minimal to no discomfort during the procedure.

Q : How many treatments do I need?

A : The number of required treatments will depend on the patient’s condition and improvement goals.

Q : How does injection therapy work?

A : Blood is drawn from the arm and spun in a centrifuge. The growth factor serum is delivered by a fine needle to the target areas (or is rubbed onto treatment areas as in the case with microneedling). This helps to increase collagen and elastin in the areas triggering skin repair and tightening.

Q : Who is a good candidate for a vampire facial?

A : Those with premature wrinkles, sun damage, or anyone who desires a fresher, more even-toned complexion are ideal candidates for the vampire facial. However, if you have a history of blood diseases, including clotting or bleeding disorders, you should avoid the facial injection therapy treatment.
