The ‘proper’ name for a Vampire Red Carpet Treatment is Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy.
It’s essentially a regenerative therapy, which uses nothing but the patient’s own blood. The treatment is performed under general anesthetic cream. Platelets are tiny blood cells that play a crucial part in helping the body stop bleeding – as well as repairing damaged blood vessels and cells.
You could think of them as little powerhouses, which release proteins for growth when they come in contact with the body’s tissue. In PRP, a needle is used to draw blood from the client’s arm. The blood is then spun in a machine to remove the platelets.
The plasma from the blood is extracted, and lightly deposited onto the client’s face using tiny acupuncture-style needles to rejuvenate their face.
PRP with Microneedling is used to improve the appearance of wrinkles, scars, and stretch marks. It rejuvenates the under-eye area; tightens stubborn open pores; plumps and volumizes any area (e.g. cheeks) where someone might otherwise get fillers.
Vampire Red Carpet Treatment Three-step Process
- The first process is the initial blood draw and running the blood through a centrifuge to isolate the platelets (platelet-rich plasma). These platelets are the magic ingredients and hold all the nutrients needed to revitalize your skin!
- The second step of the process is microneedling of this magic serum. Small needles bathed with the PRP push into your skin, making tiny pricks to stimulate collagen.
- The third step is applying an anti-aging serum and sunscreen. As for recovery, there is very little downtime associated with this procedure. Most people can wear make-up and go out in 24 hours.
