Day Spa Treatments
Vampire Facial®Procedure™
Microneedling combined with your body's own blood-derived growth factors to rejuvenate skin, smooth fine lines, and improve the appearance of scars.
The Vampire Facial® Procedure™ uses the same blood-derived growth factors used in the Vampire Facelift® Procedure™ to rejuvenate the skin, smooth fine lines and improve the appearance of scars and stretch marks. The difference is that with the Vampire Facial Procedure, a clinician applies the blood-derived growth factors topically. With the Vampire Facelift Procedure, a clinician injects the blood-derived growth factors into the face and combines them with a hyaluronic acid filler.
Step 1: A Bair Medical Spa clinician performs microneedling on the treatment area, creating tiny channels in the skin that stimulate the body's natural healing response and allow for enhanced absorption of topical treatments.
Step 2: The clinician isolates growth factors from your blood — including Platelet-Derived Growth Factor (PDGF), Transforming Growth Factor Beta (TGF-b), Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF), Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF), Fibroblast Growth Factor (FGF2), and Insulin-Like Growth Factor (IGF) — and applies them topically to the micro-channeled skin, allowing these powerful regenerative factors to penetrate deeply.
These growth factors work together to stimulate the body's own regenerative processes, promoting new collagen production, improved skin texture, and a more youthful appearance. A series of three to four treatments spaced four to six weeks apart is typically recommended for optimal results.
Benefits
Why Choose the Vampire Facial
Natural Rejuvenation
Uses your body's own growth factors to stimulate collagen production and cellular renewal for natural-looking results without synthetic ingredients.
Improved Skin Texture
Microneedling combined with growth factors smooths fine lines, reduces pore size, and creates a more refined, even skin texture.
Scar Improvement
Effectively reduces the appearance of acne scars, surgical scars, and stretch marks by stimulating the body's regenerative healing response.
Collagen Stimulation
The combination of microneedling and growth factors triggers robust new collagen production that continues to improve skin quality for months after treatment.
Youthful Glow
New blood vessel formation (angiogenesis) promoted by the growth factors creates a healthier, more radiant complexion with improved circulation.
Minimal Downtime
Most clients experience only mild redness for one to three days. The procedure is well-tolerated and allows a quick return to normal activities.
Ideal Candidates
Is the Vampire Facial Right for You?
The Vampire Facial is an excellent choice for clients who want to improve their skin quality using a natural, regenerative approach. You may be an ideal candidate if you have fine lines and wrinkles, uneven skin texture or tone, acne scars, enlarged pores, stretch marks, or dull, lackluster skin.
Because the treatment uses your own blood-derived growth factors, the risk of allergic reaction is virtually eliminated. The Vampire Facial is suitable for all skin types and tones. It is particularly appealing to clients who prefer a natural approach to skin rejuvenation without synthetic fillers or chemicals.
The Vampire Facial may not be appropriate for clients with active skin infections, certain blood disorders, or those on blood-thinning medications. During your consultation at Bair Medical Spa, your clinician will review your medical history and determine whether this treatment is right for you.
The Process
What to Expect
Blood Draw & Preparation
A small amount of blood is drawn from your arm, similar to a routine blood test. The blood is then processed in a centrifuge to isolate the platelet-rich plasma containing concentrated growth factors.
Numbing
A topical numbing cream is applied to the treatment area and allowed to take effect for approximately twenty to thirty minutes, ensuring your comfort during the microneedling procedure.
Microneedling
Your clinician performs microneedling on the treatment area, creating thousands of tiny channels in the skin that stimulate the body's natural healing response and prepare the skin for maximum absorption of the growth factors.
Growth Factor Application
The isolated growth factors are applied topically to the micro-channeled skin, allowing PDGF, VEGF, EGF, and other regenerative factors to penetrate deeply and begin stimulating collagen production and cellular renewal.
Recovery & Results
Short Recovery, Progressive Results
Following your Vampire Facial, you can expect redness and mild swelling similar to a sunburn for approximately twenty-four to seventy-two hours. Some clients may experience minor pinpoint bleeding or bruising, which resolves quickly. Avoid direct sun exposure and wear broad-spectrum sunscreen during the recovery period.
Initial improvements in skin radiance and texture may be visible within a few days as the skin heals from the microneedling. However, the most significant results develop gradually over the following weeks and months as new collagen is produced and the growth factors continue to stimulate cellular regeneration.
For optimal results, a series of three to four treatments spaced four to six weeks apart is recommended. Many clients notice continued improvement for up to six months after their final treatment as collagen remodeling continues. Your clinician at Bair Medical Spa will create a treatment plan tailored to your goals.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Vampire Facial?
The Vampire Facial® Procedure™ combines microneedling with the topical application of blood-derived growth factors (PRP) to rejuvenate the skin, smooth fine lines, and improve the appearance of scars and stretch marks. Unlike the Vampire Facelift, which involves injecting growth factors and fillers, the Vampire Facial applies the growth factors topically to micro-channeled skin for enhanced absorption.
How is the Vampire Facial different from the Vampire Facelift?
With the Vampire Facial Procedure, a clinician applies the blood-derived growth factors topically after microneedling. With the Vampire Facelift Procedure, a clinician injects the blood-derived growth factors into the face and combines them with a hyaluronic acid filler such as JUVÉDERM or Restylane. The Vampire Facial focuses on skin texture and surface rejuvenation, while the Vampire Facelift addresses both volume loss and skin quality.
How many Vampire Facial treatments do I need?
A series of three to four treatments spaced four to six weeks apart is typically recommended for optimal results. Some clients see noticeable improvement after a single treatment, but the cumulative effect of multiple sessions produces the most dramatic and lasting rejuvenation.
Is the Vampire Facial painful?
A topical numbing cream is applied before the microneedling portion of the treatment to minimize discomfort. Most clients describe the sensation as a mild prickling feeling. The application of the growth factors is painless. The entire procedure is well-tolerated by most patients.
What is the downtime for a Vampire Facial?
You can expect redness and mild swelling for twenty-four to seventy-two hours after treatment, similar to a mild sunburn. Most clients return to normal activities within one to two days. Makeup can typically be applied after twenty-four hours. Your clinician will provide specific aftercare instructions.
What growth factors are used in the Vampire Facial?
The growth factors isolated from your blood include Platelet-Derived Growth Factor (PDGF), Transforming Growth Factor Beta (TGF-b), Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF), Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF), Fibroblast Growth Factor (FGF2), and Insulin-Like Growth Factor (IGF). These growth factors work together to stimulate the body's own regenerative processes for natural-looking rejuvenation.
