Vampire Facial vs Microneedling
When it comes to getting a glowing, youthful, and bright skin tone, you can go for various options. Even after applying the best creams, lotions, and serums on the face, an increasing number of people are getting vampire facials and microneedling. They both have grown popular as skin care treatments because of their benefits and results. To choose the right treatment suited to your skin concerns and type, you should know how they work and their differences. Keep reading this blog to learn the same.Ā
How Does Vampire Facial Work?
The vampire facial, also known as PRP facial or vampire facelift, is a treatment that uses your Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) to trigger a localized cellular response that helps your skin increase collagen production. It levels up the power of microneedling treatment. As a consequence, your skin elasticity increases and acne scars heal quickly. The doctor draws blood from the arm and places the blood vial in a centrifuge to distinguish the PRP from the RBCs. Then, they clean your skin with a mild cleanser and apply a topical numbing cream to minimize discomfort during the treatment.Ā
The special tool used in vampire facials makes mini holes in the skin with needles penetrating deep up to 2mm. Then, the doctor applies PRP extracted from blood on your face. Once the vampire facial is done, you need to spend a brief time recovering at your home.Ā
How Does Microneedling Work?
Microneedling treatment, also known as ācollagen induction,ā is an effective treatment to reduce the appearance of dark spots, acne scars, wrinkles, sun damage spots, hyperpigmentation, enlarged pores, and uneven skin tone. A mini handheld device or Dermapen is used to cause micro-injuries to the skin. Tiny needles make micro punctures in the skin. Then, the doctor adjusts needles so they get into every part of your face depending on the skin thickness, texture, and tone.
The microscopic injuries are too small but big enough to signal your body to increase elastin production, healing factors, and rejuvenate skin. Many skin issues start as the body stops collagen production as you get older. As collagen maintains firm skin with elasticity, the decreased collagen production causes sagging and wrinkles. Your body produces collagen-like in your younger days when you get injured. Microneedling helps to retain the youthful level of collagen production without causing real injuries.Ā
