What is a Vampire Facial? 

The term ‘vampire facial’ is pretty self explanatory. PRP (plasma-rich protein) facials are administered through the extraction of a very small amount of blood from the patient, which is then re-injected into the skin.

The blood extraction is a way of harvesting platelets, which are full of rich proteins that work to heal damaged or neglected tissue and skin.

The extracted blood is spun down in a centrifuge, which separates the red blood cells from the platelet rich plasma. Upon re-injection the platelets release their growth factors which trigger surrounding cells to proliferate, in turn stimulating repair, increasing volume and rejuvenating the skin. 

What does a Vampire Facial do?

This is a targeted repair treatment that can be used to direct growth factors at specific problematic areas.

Not only are vampire facials an effective way to reduce fine lines and wrinkles and plump, tighten and tone skin, but they are also incredibly powerful in reducing acne scarring and combatting hair loss.

PRP therapy can be used to repair and enhance skin around the face, backs of hands, scars and all over the body.

This treatment is commonly used to boost collagen and elasticity in skin of the décolletage and even the knees. The platelet plasma is a great stimulant for collagen, so if it’s anti-ageing you’re looking for, a PRP facial could be for you.

Are there any side effects of PRP therapy? 

PRP therapy is a treatment that we fully believe in, and it brings us so much joy to see the fantastic results on Elegant Beauty Clinic patients.

There are a couple of things to note if you are considering a PRP facial, and we’re here to talk you through every step of the way. Following treatment, the skin may look red and feel bumpy or swollen.

This is a completely normal part of the process ahead of healing and repairing, so ensure that you factor in recovery time for a couple of days after your appointment. It is possible to experience side effects of tenderness, bruising and pain at this time, but this should also fade away as the healing process progresses.

Take gentle care of your complexion post-treatment; we will talk you through your own personal aftercare plan and how best to wash, cleanse and treat your skin after PRP.  As the platelets do their job of repairing and revitalising the skin cells, it may take a few weeks for results to fully develop. However, just one treatment is enough to eventually see some impressive, beautiful results. 

What is PRP treatment good for?
