The buzz about 'Vampire Facials'

Kim Kardashian. Love her or hate her she is definitely a beauty icon when it comes to cosmetics and skincare. Her skin always looks flawless and glowing. We've all seen those infamous photos of Kim Kardashian with blood all over her face after getting the "Vampire Facial". Well, most of us that keep up with Pop Culture. That photo that circulated the internet created some buzz in the beauty and aesthetic world.

So, what is a "Vampire Facial"? It is Micro-needling combined with the Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) procedure. The benefits of these two procedures are phenomenal. The major benefits of micro-needling include:

• Reduction of fine lines

The loss of elastin and collagen cause thinning, sagging skin and facial wrinkles

• Improves scars

• Reduces appearance of stretch marks

• Prevents the signs of aging

Stops the early signs of aging as well as preventing new fine lines and wrinkles. This procedure will brighten your skin and leave a youthful glow.

These benefits are what makes us love Micro-needling. Combining these great benefits with the benefits of PRP is what gives your skin that youthful glow. PRP is natural and safe because the growth factors come from your own blood. The medical professional will draw your blood then spin it in a special machine to separate your blood from your plasma. That plasma contains growth factors (made from your own cells) known to stimulate the production of new skin tissue (and new collagen) treating your pores, wrinkles, eye bags, dull skin and even hair loss.

Now we know what all the buzz is about.
