What Kind of Treatment is a Vampire Delight?
The field of cosmetic skincare is ever-changing, seeing the rise of new, fresh, and even more unconventional treatments promising patients a youthful glow. One treatment that’s taken the skincare world by storm is the Vampire Delight. At The Center for Women’s Aesthetics in Charlotte, North Carolina, we rejuvenate the skin with your own platelet-rich plasma which is stored in your own blood along with microneedling. Let’s learn more about this treatment, what it can do, and what to expect during your treatment at our medical spa.
What exactly is this special treatment?
A vampire delight is best described by our team as an aesthetic treatment that uses the platelets in your body to give your skin a makeover. It is also known as Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy. The catchy “vampire” moniker comes from the treatment process, which involves extracting blood from your arm, and harnessing the plasma from this blood to dramatically improve your skin’s radiance. We then combine microneedling to create channels in your skin to help the platelet-rich plasma go deep into the skin to help with collagen enhancement.
What can it do?
The ultimate objective of a Vampire Delight is to trigger skin healing and rejuvenation. By leveraging the strength of platelet-rich plasma, which is rich with growth factors and proteins critical for tissue repair, this treatment can improve overall texture and tone while combating fine lines, wrinkles, and skin laxity with a single treatment.
What are the steps involved in the process?
- Consultation. This is the first step in which our team will determine if you are a good candidate for the procedure.
- Blood draw. Once cleared for this treatment, we move forward, drawing blood from the arm just like one would for a standard blood test.
- Centrifugation. Using a device called a centrifuge, we then spin the blood to separate out the platelet-rich plasma.
- Skin preparation. Your face is then thoroughly cleansed to remove any makeup, cosmetics, and impurities to prepare the skin for injections.
- Microneedling. Once the PRP is ready, the microneedling process with the PRP is then performed while patients relax in the treatment chair.
- Aftercare. Redness and discomfort in the facial area are common after this procedure, and following aftercare instructions is critical to ensure proper healing. Most patients resume work immediately.
