The main expense involved is microneedling,. Ever since Kim was seen entering a spa with her best friend Jonathan Cheban to get the procedure worthy of a snap, the world of influencers and everyday beauty lovers converged, making way for this crazy facial to be the topic of conversation and consideration in real life. So I made an appointment to sit down with Dr. Marina Peredo at Skinfluence in New York City to get 4-1-1 on all things bloody and beautiful.
Peredo explained that a vampire facial treatment, also known as a blood facial or PRP facial, involves drawing blood from a patient's arm and using a centrifuge to separate platelets and plasma from red blood cells. From there, Dermapen, microneedles, infuses platelet-rich plasma (PRP) into the skin that stimulates collagen and elastin fibers to promote cell renewal and achieve a brighter complexion through a series of thousands of small punctures. OK, so it's no wonder Kim looked terribly sore. But anything in the name of beauty, right? Before jumping on the chair for my vampire facial, I wanted to know more about compatibility, cost and care.
Peredo, I learned that since it is impossible to be allergic to one's own blood, unlike many popular cosmetic treatments, vampire facial treatment is suitable for almost all women, regardless of age or skin type. When I arrived at Skinfluence, I was greeted by Dr. Peredo and his nurse, Joanne Shellock, LPN. When I settled into the dentist-type chair (something I didn't like at all, given my hatred of the dentist's office, although not for dentists in general), they began to give me a summary of what was about to happen.
As they rolled up my sleeves to check my veins for blood, I was told, once again, how beneficial this treatment can be for women of all ages. However, they noted that at the ripe old age of 25, with few wrinkles in sight, I may not see the same amazing results as my more mature counterparts. In any case, I was ready to see what this vampire facial was about. First of all, Kim, as much as we love her (or hate to love her, or whatever), is dramatic AF.
At no time during treatment was I forced to whine and cry in pain. Sure, there were more notable moments, when the Dermapen brushed the area of my forehead just above my eyebrows to the hairline, where it seemed like my scalp was being pulled out, but because it was so brief, my pain receptors didn't even have a chance to cause tears or, more surprisingly, blood. Getting a vampire facial, only to see a few drops of blood on the apples of my cheeks, the area surrounding my nostrils, and where Dermapen abruptly burst a particularly stubborn menstrual pimple on my chin, was disappointing. Not that I'm a super bloody human, but I love a little bit of My Favorite Murder and the idea of going under the pen to come out just as bloody (and beautiful) as her real Kim.
But do you know what wasn't disappointing? The results of the third day. While the hours immediately following the one-hour appointment were characterized by an unsightly red, ultra-swollen complexion (which was actually exacerbated by the fact that I have sensitive skin), with the help of an even layer of Alastin Regenerating Skin Nectar (the Dr. Peredo told me to use it for next week), for the second day I looked like I had a discreet sunburn and on the third day my skin looked radiant and fresh. A vampire facelift is a non-surgical aesthetic procedure, but it must still be performed by a trained medical professional who has the correct equipment and who has been certified to perform the procedure.
Vampire facelifts are a non-invasive cosmetic procedure in which platelets are injected under the skin along with a hyaluronic acid filler. Vampire facials are a fairly non-invasive skin treatment option that can improve the look and feel of facial skin. However, remember that PRP treatment is not permanent, so you'll have to come back in a year if you want to continue enjoying the collagen-boosting effects of vampire facials. Before jumping on the chair for my vampire facial, I wanted to know more about compatibility, cost and care.
If you're looking for a unique and effective facial treatment, a vampire facial may be just what you're looking for. Whether you want to experience the latest craze for effective skin care or are interested in alternative treatment options, here's what you need to know about a vampire facial. Despite the fear of crying ugly or permanently disturbing my already sensitive skin, as with most beauty trends, I knew I had to try this facial. As mentioned, a vampire facial involves the use of platelet-rich plasma, which would be extracted from your own blood.
It's professionally known as facial prp (platelet-rich plasma), since “vampire facial” is a trademarked name, so you're more likely to see it listed as PRP at your nearest clinic. Peredo advised that since vampire facials insert tiny needles into the skin, creating pathways for PRP to dive deep into your pores for truly transformative results, you should stay away from anything else that could seep into that sacred space and irritate you. Both microneedling and vampire facials are increasingly popular options when it comes to anti-aging treatments. .
