If you answered yes to all of these questions, you’re going to go wild for the Vampire Facial.

One of our most popular offerings at Bolus MedSpa, once you test out this treatment for yourself, you’re going to see exactly what all the hype is about.

What is a vampire facial?

Also known as PRP microneedling, the vampire facial is a cosmetic procedure that aims to restore skin to its most youthful and radiant.

The facial is a two-step process. First, we use standard microneedling practices to puncture the skin. Next, we apply Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) to the skin to give it an extra boost of skin loving ingredients.

How It Works

If you’re wondering why you would want to puncture your skin with needles, you’re not alone. The microneedling process can be quite counterintuitive. We first must injure the skin in order to encourage the skin to heal itself.

In other words, we use very small needles to create tiny puncture wounds in the skin, which signals to the body that it needs to produce elastin and collagen, to heal which are two key components for youthful, vibrant skin.

Once we’ve completed the microneedling portion of the treatment, we move onto the PRP application.

PRP is obtained from a standard blood draw using your own blood. We then separate the plasma, which we then apply to the face. PRP is full of growth factors, which can be extremely beneficial to healing the skin and creating that youthful glow you crave.

Bottom line, with both the microneedling and the PRP application working in tandem, we get the best of both worlds for the most radiant glow possible.

The Benefits

The best way to understand the benefits is to see a vampire facial before and after. Trust us, the results are that impressive.

But to give you an overall impression of what you can expect after your vampire facial, these are some of the most common benefits:

Youthful skin: Boost turnover of skin cells for younger, fresher looking skin
Improves skin tone and texture: Bumps, pimples, and patches of redness become a thing of the past with this treatment
Anti-aging: Reduces fine lines and wrinkles
Improves scarring: This is especially apparent for those who might have old acne scars that didn’t fully heal
Reduces sun damage: Whether it is sun spots or just general hyperpigmentation, a vampire facial smooths skin out for a more even complexion
Non-invasive: While a vampire facial might sound a little scary on paper, it is a totally safe and approachable treatment for virtually anyone
