Dr. Susan Schroeder of Perfect Skin MD in Juno Beach, Florida, is a skilled and experienced board-certified dermatologist who provides patients with medical and cosmetic dermatology solutions. One treatment often requested by patients looking to address the unwanted signs of aging is the Vampire Facial. This PRP skin rejuvenation treatment is designed to turn back the hands of time using a patient’s blood and plasma. Below are a few more frequently asked questions about the Vampire Facial at Perfect Skin MD.
The Vampire Facial is a skin rejuvenation treatment that has recently gained popularity. It uses platelet-rich plasma (PRP) extracted from the patient’s blood to stimulate natural collagen production and improve the skin’s overall appearance.
First, a small amount of blood is drawn from the patient’s arm. This blood collection is then put into a centrifuge machine, where the blood is spun at high speeds to separate the plasma from the red blood cells successfully. The resulting PRP contains concentrated growth factors and proteins vital for natural tissue repair and regeneration.
After numbing cream is applied to the face, tiny needles are utilized to create microchannels on the skin’s surface. The PRP is then applied topically and allowed to penetrate deeper into the lower layers of the skin through these channels. This stimulates collagen production, resulting in much smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin.
Since it uses the patient’s blood, there is minimal risk of allergic reactions or possible side effects. However, it is important to perform this treatment by a certified and experienced provider like Dr. Schroeder at Perfect Skin MD to ensure safety and proper technique.
The Vampire Facial offers numerous benefits for those looking to improve their skin’s appearance. It reduces fine lines and wrinkles, improves skin texture and tone, and even reduces the appearance of acne scars. It also has a shorter recovery time than more invasive procedures like surgery.
The number of Vampire Facial treatments needed will vary for each patient depending on their individual goals and skin condition. Typically, 3-4 sessions about four weeks apart are recommended for optimal results. However, some patients may see improvement with just one treatment.
Our board-certified dermatologist at Perfect Skin MD will evaluate you and determine if you are a good candidate for PRP rejuvenation using the Vampire Facial technique. Call 561-462-1965 to request an appointment at our clinic at 790 Juno Ocean Walk, Suite 203-C.
