Vampire Facial Treatment In Venice, CA

Vampire facial treatment is a cosmetic therapy that can make your skin look healthy and radiant. This unique treatment got its name on account of how the procedure requires your clinician to draw blood from your body, which is then used to create the platelet-rich plasma (PRP) needed to carry out the procedure. PRP is administered to the treatment area using a technique known as microneedling, which involves a series of small injections.

In an article published in 2016 by Practical Dermatology titled “Microneedling with PRP,” the authors state that microneedling was established in the 1990s. They write, “Microneedling can be performed alone to provide improvement in signs of aging, scarring, uneven skin tone, and large pores. However, when it is used in conjunction with Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)—a technique called microneedling with PRP (PRP MN)—the results can be significantly better than those achieved with microneedling alone.”

If you live in Venice, CA, we invite you to consider booking a vampire facial at True Jewel Cosmetic Center.  It’s a safe and effective way to rejuvenate your skin as well as address problem areas that cause you concern or discomfort.

How Does a Vampire Facial Treatment Work?

A vampire facial works by using your own blood to stimulate collagen production, which promotes the overall health of your skin and combats specific issues identified by you and our aesthetics experts.

If you decide to undergo a vampire facial treatment at our renowned medical spa near Venice, CA, we will begin the treatment by drawing approximately two teaspoons of blood from a vein in your arm (this is no different than getting routine bloodwork). From there, we separate the plasma from the blood, which involves storing your blood in a centrifuge for 10 minutes. This centrifuge rapidly rotates the blood at high speed, facilitating the separation of PRP as it rises to the top. This crucial step allows us to collect a concentrated form of platelets required for microneedling with PRP.

Once the injections are ready, we’ll apply an anesthetic to numb the treatment area and reduce any potential discomfort. We want you to be as comfortable as possible when we begin microneedling with PRP, especially because your vampire facial treatment session will last between a half hour to an hour. During the treatment, your experienced clinician will use the Rejuvapen device to produce microchannels that make it possible for PRP to reach the deepest layer of your skin.

You will be asked to return to True Jewel Cosmetic Center once a month for repeat treatments. Most patients notice great results after only one treatment, but optimal results are reported after 3-6 treatments in total. If you live in or around Venice, CA, you’ll be pleased with the convenience of our medical spa’s location.

What Areas Can A Vampire Facial Treat?

Vampire facial treatment targets common skin issues on your face, neck, and chest. It corrects many skin issues related to age, environmental factors, and even genetics. It’s an ideal treatment method if you have dark circles or bags underneath your eyes; crow’s feet; acne scars; large pores; hyperpigmentation; fine lines around the mouth, and other common, bothersome skin issues.

If you’ve sustained a sunburn, vampire facial treatment can help soothe your skin and accelerate the healing process.

No matter what area of your skin you target through a vampire facial treatment, rest assured that microneedling with PRP is a popular and incredibly worthwhile treatment method that can make your skin feel smoother and look brighter.

Who Can Get a Vampire Facial?

Vampire facial treatment is suitable for individuals who are in good health and have skin issues that they would like to address without having to undergo surgery. Microneedling with PRP is a minimally invasive procedure with a short recovery time.

You might not be a good candidate for vampire facial treatment if you have blood-related medical issues, such as anemia or cancer of the skin, blood, or bones. If you take blood thinners or steroids, you will need to consult with your physician about this treatment.

What Is PRP?

In an article titled “Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Injections” published by Hospital for Special Surgery, platelet-rich plasma therapy is defined as “a form of regenerative medicine that . . . can amplify the natural growth factors your body uses to heal tissue.” The article further states, “Plasma is the liquid portion of whole blood. It is composed largely of water and proteins, and it provides a medium for red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets to circulate through the body. Platelets, also called thrombocytes, are blood cells that cause blood clots and other necessary growth healing functions. Platelet activation plays a key role in the body’s natural healing process.”

Microneedling with PRP is effective because your own cells are used to send a signal to your body, and that important signal initiates the healing process. Microneedling with PRP is effective because PRP contains growth factors and proteins that promote healing. When your body is prompted to heal itself, the result is skin that appears noticeably plumper and tighter. Fine lines or wrinkles? PRP will soften them. Surgical scarring? PRP to the rescue! Uneven skin texture? Rely on microneedling with PRP to be the treatment you need to make your skin look—and feel—at its best.
