Hi gals! It's Maya here today talking about a new trending facial that even Kim (the Queen) Kardashian takes part in on the regular! That's right, I'm talking about the Vampire Facial.
You've probably seen the crazy and scary photos on Instagram of a celebrity or influence whose face is covered in blood. You don't have to be alarmed-it's all in the name of beautiful skin .
So, what is it and how does it work, exactly? The treatment is a combination of a microdermabrasion, followed by the application of PRP (platelet-rich plasma). The PRP is derived from the serum portion of the blood, which contains platelets. The platelets contain high levels of growth factors, which, when applied to the skin, will stimulate cell turnover.
In simpler terms, your own blood to help promote the healthy activity of your skin cells," says Joshua Zeichner, the director of cosmetic and clinical research in dermatology at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City. Our blood is comprised of red blood cells and serum, which contain our white blood cells and platelets.
The treatment begins with venipuncture (a blood draw) to obtain the blood. But, contrary to popular belief, it's relatively painless — aside from the first needle pinch.
How much does it cost?
Cost typically ranges, but in the dermatologist's office a treatment will set you back around $1,000, according to Zeichner, and the price will vary depending on your provider. Multiple treatments may be needed for optimal results and that treatments should be performed no more than once a month.
What are the results?
The benefits of this pricey facial include:
1) Stimulated hair growth
2) Firmer neck and jawline
3) Targets fine lines and wrinkles
4) Helps with hair loss
5) Helps MAJORLY with acne scars and stretch marks!
It's like a face lift without all the surgery!!
If you no longer have kids in the house, need a pick-me-up for your skin, want to feel like a celebrity, or want to treat yo-self, this is the facial for you! If not, The Glow Gals will find something for ya ;)
Stay Glowing,
Glow Gals xoxo.
