VAMPIRE FACIAL

Vampire Facials Treatments from Bongos Beauty in New Romney, Littlestone & Kent. A firm favorite with celebrities, the Vampire anti-aging facial is amazing.

A firm favourite with the celebrities, the Vampire facial is one of the most talked about anti-aging facials of this decade. Instead of cutting, slicing, or using unnatural substances to fill, remove or reduce wrinkles, the Vampire Facial is a type of PRP treatment that uses your body’s natural healing ability to reduce the signs of ageing. It gives you a fresher, firmer, and more youthful appearance in a more natural way.

VAMPIRE FACIAL FAQ

Most frequent questions and answers

During your treatment, your aesthetic practitioner, Alice, will take some of your blood (like in a blood test), then place that blood into a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich plasma. This platelet-rich plasma is then inserted into the deeper layers of the skin on your face using micro-needling.

Once inside your body, the platelets get to work. Stimulating the regeneration of old, weakened skin cells and promoting the growth of new collagen and elastin. Giving you brighter, healthier, and more youthful-looking skin.

When we inject the platelets into the face, it tricks the body into thinking that there has been an injury, bringing growth factors to aid new collagen formation and thus tightening your skin.

  • Improve the appearance of wrinkles, scars and stretch marks
  • Rejuvenate the under-eye area
  • Reduce the size of open pores
  • Plump and volumize any area (e.g. cheeks)
  • Aids new collagen formation
  • Tightens your skin

A Vampire Facial is £450, which includes the treatment and finishing products after the treatment.

After a few days, the effects of the Vampire facial are visible, but continue to improve for up to two or three months, and last from one to two years.

The downtime for vampire facials varies from person to person, but patients typically notice a significant improvement after the first two or three days. Most patients will have fully healed after one week.

No, we use a numbing cream 30 minutes prior to treatment to keep pain to a minimum. If you find the treatment uncomfortable, we can reduce needle depth.

To Maximize Your Results:

For a minimum of 5 hours after the PRP has been applied to your skin, do NOT do anything that would wash off the blood such as: wash your skin, expose the treated area/s to direct high heat, or engage in physical activities that will get you wet or cause you to sweat (sun exposure, sauna, steam room, Jacuzzi, hot shower, hot yoga, swimming).

Wait at least 24 hours before wearing make-up. When you apply any skin products, remember to wash the brushes carefully to remove any possible infection-causing pathogens.

Yes, the treatment can help with pigmentation.

In the Vampire Facial, platelet rich plasma (PRP) can be used anywhere on the body to reduce pigment, reduce stretchmarks, treat wrinkles, and lighten scarring. Used on thousands of patients worldwide, the Vampire Facial has been shown to be both safe and effective.

The difference between micro needling and vampire facial:

Micro needling is a quick collagen inducing treatment which uses micro needles to penetrate the skin.

Vampire Facial is an extract of your own blood that contains platelets. When PRP is placed back into the skin using micro needling, it initiates a localised growth cell response.

Real Self say it is 91% worth it.

Ideally you should avoid exercise after the facial as any sweat would interfere with the absorption of the PRP from your blood.

  • Do not touch your skin for at least 6 hours. Allow the serum to remain on your skin so it can continue to work.
  • You can rinse your face the next morningwith lukewarm water but avoid using any cleansers that can cause harm. Wash your hands with soap before touching the skin.
  • Gently pat drytaking special care not to rub the skin. You may sense that the skin is firmer than usual. But, over the next few days up to 2 weeks, it will soften and regain a supple, smooth feel.
  • While the discomfort should settle within 24 hours, if you continue to feel pain, take a paracetamol. Do not take anti-inflammatory or any other medications without checking with the doctor.
  • Use an ice pack to calm the swelling but place a thin cloth between the pack and your skin. Avoid direct contact and time the applications at 5-minute intervals.
  • For the next 2 days, sleep on your back with your head elevated. In this way, you can reduce the swelling and bruising.
  • As part of the aftercare for Vampire facial, do not use any exfoliating or any other harsh agentson your skin for at least 72 hours. But you can use a non-chemical, organic moisturiser that is gentle. You can use hyaluronic acid to moisturise and nourish your skin.
  • Do not apply any kind of makeup for at least 24 hours. When you do apply any skin products, remember to wash the brushes carefully to remove any possible infection-causing pathogens.
  • Stay out of the sun and add applications of a broad-spectrum UVA/UVB, SPF 25 or greater sunscreen to your skincare routine.
  • Avoid going swimming. Or any other activity that can cause sweating like a strenuous workout. Remember, your skin is tender and needs protection as part of the aftercare for Vampire facial.
  • Avoid tanning beds, steam or sauna rooms, jacuzzis, hot showers, or any other activity that involves heating the skin for two weeks.
  • Avoid any kind of skincare products that can cause damage or peeling. Facials, face massages, and laser treatments are also a definite no-no for at least two weeks.
