Looking for an advanced skincare treatment that combines the best of science and nature? Microneedling with PRP, also known as the Vampire Facial, is a cutting-edge cosmetic procedure that uses your body’s own growth factors to rejuvenate your skin.
At Rejuve Aesthetics & Wellness, we specialize in offering personalized treatments, and Microneedling with PRP is one of our most popular services for those looking to improve skin texture, tone, and overall appearance. In this article, we’ll explain how it works, its benefits, and what to expect during the procedure.
What is Microneedling with PRP (Vampire Facial)?
Microneedling with PRP is a combination therapy that uses two powerful techniques:
- Microneedling: Small needles create micro-injuries in the skin, stimulating collagen production and enhancing the skin’s natural healing process.
- PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma): In this step, your blood is drawn and processed to separate the platelets, which are rich in growth factors. These platelets are then applied to the treated areas to promote healing, reduce fine lines, and improve skin texture.
When combined, these treatments offer enhanced results, making the Vampire Facial one of the most effective non-surgical procedures available.
Benefits of Microneedling with PRP
The Vampire Facial offers numerous benefits for your skin, including:
- Improved skin texture and tone: By stimulating collagen production, this treatment smooths out rough patches, acne scars, and fine lines.
- Reduction in fine lines and wrinkles: PRP’s healing properties rejuvenate your skin, helping to smooth wrinkles around the eyes, mouth, and forehead.
- Increased collagen production: Both microneedling and PRP work together to boost collagen and elastin levels, promoting healthier, more youthful-looking skin.
- Scar and stretch mark reduction: The treatment helps fade the appearance of acne scars and stretch marks by stimulating the skin’s natural healing response.
- No downtime: Unlike invasive procedures, microneedling with PRP involves minimal recovery time, allowing you to return to your daily routine quickly.
What to Expect During the Treatment
- Consultation: Your session will begin with a consultation at Rejuve Aesthetics & Wellness to discuss your skin goals and determine if microneedling with PRP is right for you.
- Preparation: A topical numbing cream is applied to the area to ensure you remain comfortable during the procedure.
- Microneedling: The microneedling device is gently moved across the skin, creating micro-channels that help with absorption of the PRP.
- PRP Application: After microneedling, the PRP serum is applied to the skin. The growth factors in PRP accelerate the healing process, stimulating collagen and elastin production.
The procedure typically takes 30–45 minutes, depending on the area being treated.
Is the Vampire Facial Painful?
While microneedling with PRP may cause some mild discomfort during the procedure, it is generally well-tolerated. The numbing cream used before treatment ensures that you feel minimal discomfort. After the treatment, you may experience some redness and swelling, similar to a mild sunburn, but these side effects typically subside within a day or two.
How Many Sessions Do You Need?
For optimal results, we recommend 3 to 4 sessions spaced about 4 to 6 weeks apart. However, many clients notice improvements after just one session. Your skincare specialist at Rejuve Aesthetics & Wellness will create a customized treatment plan to address your unique needs.
Aftercare Tips
After your Vampire Facial, you should follow these aftercare instructions to maximize results and minimize discomfort:
- Avoid direct sun exposure for at least 24-48 hours.
- Do not apply makeup for 24 hours to allow your skin to breathe and heal.
- Keep your skin moisturized with a gentle, hydrating product.
- Avoid vigorous exercise or sweating for the first 24-48 hours.
