What to do before and after a Vampire Facial (PRP Injections)?
Vampire Facials (PRP Injections)
A vampire facial, also known as a platelet-rich plasma (PRP facial, is a cosmetic treatment that involves drawing blood from the patient using a centrifuge separate the platelets from the rest of the blood. The platelets are then injected into the patient's face to promote collagen production and improve skin texture.
One of the benefits of a vampire facial is that it utilizes the patient's own blood, reducing the risk of allergic reactions or other complications. Additionally, the treatment can improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and acne
​
Botox and PRP injections complement each other effectively to maximize the benefits for patients. Botox works rapidly to smooth out the skin, while PRP therapy gradually increases skin volume and diminishes the visibility of wrinkles over a period of about 90 days.
It is important to consult with a skincare professional to determine which treatment is best suited for your individual needs.
