The good news is that you don’t have to be a celebrity to give your skin the star treatment you deserve!

So if you are looking for a new and innovative way to either prevent or even reverse the visual signs of premature aging, then getting a vampire facial may be the answer to your prayers.

The Scoop on Vampire Facials

Needless to say, Kim Kardashian’s selfie midway through her vampire facial was more than enough to set the internet ablaze! But, there’s actually so much more to vampire facials than eye-catching selfies.

Where do we start? The name of course!

Bloggers and social media influencers alike, refer to the procedure as the “Vampire facial,” because it uses your own blood. That also happens to be the trademark name of the treatment.

The treatment is a combination of microneedling with growth factors found in the blood to revitalize your skin.

The Secret is Growth Factors

Most women have never even heard of growth factors and microneedling! So let’s go over the basics.

Blood contains a protein that helps the body to naturally heal itself. Extracting this protein from your blood is a very simple process, in which a licensed medical professional carefully collects a sample of your blood, and uses a machine called a centrifuge to separate growth factors from red blood cells.

What makes growth factors so unique? Your body produces growth factors to naturally heal, regenerate, and stimulate growth.

growth factors are used to effectively stimulate healing and the production of necessary components your skin needs to stay vibrant and radiant, like collagen and elastin.

Why Microneedling with Growth Factors?

The microneedling treatment is basically using extremely thin needles to create micro punctures on the skin. This helps the skin absorb the growth factors into the skin.

Worried about painful needles?  You don’t have to.

Luckily, vampire facials are virtually painless. A numbing cream is applied to your skin making the experience almost pain free.

Why Is the Vampire Facial So Popular?

There’s a reason why celebrities and beauty gurus around the world are raving about the Vampire facial! It has amazing benefits:

• Reduces fine lines and wrinkles
• Fades scars and age spots
• Minimizes pores
• Naturally plumps the skin
• Dramatically improves dark circles and puffiness under eyes
• Reverses sun damage due to overexposure
• Remarkably smooths skin into flawless complexion

Vampire facials are a natural way to heal your skin. It only makes sense to give it a try!

You too can experience the benefits of healthy glowing skin without having to use harsh chemicals or dyes.

Prepping for Your Treatment

Before your vampire facial it is important to follow the instructions provided by your medical professional to ensure you reap all of the amazing benefits the Vampire facial has to offer.

The most common rules are to make sure you stay hydrated! Also, to avoid bruising, do not take any medications that can thin your blood like over the counter headache medicine.

On the day of your treatment, keep makeup to a minimum, if any at all.

After your skin is cleansed, a numbing cream will be applied. The numbing cream will take about 10-15 minutes to take its effect, then you’ll be ready for the actual treatment.

The Vampire facial is a specific process and technique that has been perfected by Dr. Renolds, the inventor of the Vampire Facial.

The treatment, from the numbing to the microneedling and application of the growth factors, takes anywhere from 45 minutes to about an hour.

Vampire Facial Recovery

Every person reacts to the treatment differently, depending on the condition of the skin, age and overall health.

Nonetheless, side-effects are mild. You can expect:

• redness the first couple of days after your vampire facial
• skin may feel a little dry
• skin may flake off in certain areas

Whatever the case, make sure you avoid anything that can irritate your sensitive skin like direct sun light, makeup, intense exercise, steam rooms, and saunas for the first three days.

When Will I See Results?

The science behind the Vampire facial confirms you can use growth factors found in your blood to naturally heal your skin over time.

Many report that they notice fine lines, wrinkles, and dark spots start disappearing after one Vampire facial. It is important to note that the full effect of one vampire facial may take up to 4 months.

However, in order to get the most dramatic results, medical professionals recommend 2-4 treatments 4 weeks apart because results are compounding. In other words, each treatment builds on the previous.

Because the Vampire facial is a natural procedure, it can be combined with other treatments without fear of complications.

For example, you can also receive Botox or dermal fillers to add volume to your cheeks or lips to restore a more youthful appearance before or after a Vampire facial.
