What the Heck is a Vampire Facial?

P.R.P. aka The Vampire Facial (I promise, it’s not as scary as it sounds.)

 Have you heard of The Vampire Facial? Maybe seen some photos on Instagram? The trend has been around for a few years now, and with good reason.

 Platelet-Rich Plasma, commonly known as P.R.P., is a fantastic way to combat aging skin. It has been used in orthopedics for years now -- helping to heal joint injuries. After seeing the results they realized the growth factors in our plasma can help heal many things, including helping with skin rejuvenation and hair restoration.

 Yes I know it sounds scary! But, it really is a simple treatment. 

 First, we numb your face and neck (or scalp if you are doing hair restoration). Next is the blood draw. We draw a vial of blood from you. It is placed in the centrifuge where it is spun, in order to separate the plasma (that golden liquid). The plasma is then drawn into tiny syringes and reinjected into the areas we want to rejuvenate. 

 Our plasma has growth factors in it. These growth factors help to produce and repair collagen. In doing so, the skin becomes more youthful. It looks healthier, lines are less noticeable as are scars and large pores. It also helps to improve the thin skin under the eyes. 

 As you have learned this month, there are many different treatments available to help with rejuvenation. I don't believe there is any one answer for anyone. I think a mix of different treatments in your personal treatment plan will yield the best results. 

 I had this treatment done a while ago and I am definitely overdue for another. I really enjoyed the results and felt that I saw fairly immediate results (within a month) with even just one treatment. You can watch my PRP treatment below.
