Vampire Facial PRP Therapy San Diego
You might have seen the photos of Kim Kardashian West with blood splatter on Instagram and other social media. No, it isn’t Halloween make-up – it’s a latest Vampire Facial treatment In San Diego.
Aside from Kim Kardashian-West, other celebrities such as British actor Rupert Everett and model beauty Bar Refaeli and are only a few who have all undergone the ‘Vampire Facial’ also known as the PRP facial treatment.
The Vampire Facial treatment is a combination of a micro-needling, accompanied by the application of platelet-rich plasma (PRP). These platelets come from the patient’s own blood serum and are rich in growth factors. When these growth factors are applied deep into the skin, they will stimulate stem cells to rejuvenate the epidermis (skin cells).
The growth factors essentially help boost our production of collagen and elastin, while also bringing hydrating and antioxidant properties to the skin. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is currently being used topically as part of a regular facial, along with micro-needling that enhances its penetration into the skin. It is also being injected into the skin in the same way as dermal fillers.
