Vampire Facials

Vampire Facials

By using your very own platelet-rich plasma, a vampire facial is a combination of microdermabrasion and the application of platelet rich plasma which is derived from the serum portion of your blood, which contain high levels of growth factors and stimulate cell turnover when applied to your skin. The bottom line is that the procedure gives your skin a beautiful energy boost, promoting the healthy activity of your skin cells by increasing collagen, elasticity and offers hydration and antioxidants.

It is important to note that the quality of your plasma is directly related to what you eat and your lifestyle. If you don’t live a highly clean and healthy lifestyle, your plasma isn’t going to be as effective. This is why a bespoke mixture of peptides created specifically for you is always included in the mix.

The initial appointment is where we establish the type of treatment required and you skin and blood are assessed. You’ll undergo a peel, and then the next appointment a bespoke mixture of peptides will be inserted just under your skin.

After 28 days, a second peel will be done – this one will be deeper and will take a few days to heal – be sure you have about 4 days down-time after this session.

After Care

You will feel tingling and a slight tenderness after the treatment – over the counter pain killers will help. For at least six hours after your treatment, avoid touching your face – you need to allow the serum to remain on your skin. Rinse your skin the next morning with lukewarm water, without any cleansers or soap, but ensure your hands are clean first. Gently pat your skin dry. Your skin might feel tighter and less supple, but this will abate over the next two days. To manage swelling, sleep on your back for the next two days with your head elevated and use ice-packs if necessary. Avoid taking anti-inflammatories.
