What is a vampire facial?
Vampire facial is Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy. It’s essentially a regenerative therapy where we use our patient’s own blood.
Platelets are tiny blood cells which play a crucial part in helping the body stop bleeding – as well as repairing damaged blood vessels and cells.
The treatment is performed under general anaesthetic cream In PRP, a needle is used to draw blood from the patient’s arm. The blood is then placed into our treatment machine, to remove the platelets.
The plasma from the blood is extracted, and spattered on the client’s face using tiny acupuncture-style needles to rejuvenate their face.
PRP treatment will:
• Improve the appearance of wrinkles, scars and stretch marks
• Rejuvenate the under-eye area
• Tighten stubborn open poors
• Plump and volumise any area (e.g. cheeks) where someone might otherwise gets fillers.
Is it Painful?
Before any needles are injected, a local anaesthetic cream is applied to the face. This should make the treatment relatively painless.
