Unveiling the O-Shot, P-Shot, and Vampire Facials:

The O-Shot, P-Shot, and Vampire Facials are revolutionary therapies that leverage the power of PRP to address various concerns and enhance overall well-being. Let’s explore each treatment briefly:

 

The O-Shot (Orgasm Shot):

The O-Shot is a non-surgical, minimally invasive treatment for women designed to improve sexual health and address issues such as low libido, urinary incontinence, and difficulty achieving orgasm. By injecting PRP derived from the patient’s blood into specific areas, the O-Shot stimulates tissue regeneration, increases sensitivity, and improves overall sexual satisfaction.

 

The P-Shot (Priapus Shot):

The P-Shot is a PRP-based treatment for men that focuses on improving sexual performance and addressing concerns related to erectile dysfunction (ED) and Peyronie’s disease. By injecting PRP into targeted areas, the P-Shot promotes the growth of new blood vessels and rejuvenates penile tissues, resulting in enhanced sexual function, increased sensitivity, and improved overall sexual performance.

 

Vampire Facials:

Vampire Facials, also known as PRP facials, are skin rejuvenation treatments that promote a youthful appearance. By applying PRP topically and using microneedling techniques, Vampire Facials stimulate collagen production, improve skin texture and tone, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, and enhance overall skin radiance.

Chemical exfoliation is a process of removing dead skin cells from the surface of your skin at an accelerated rate. There are several different methods for utilizing microdermabrasion to enhance skin health. Knowing the many ways chemical exfoliation may be applied can help you keep your skin healthy and clear.

At NIMA, we are enthusiastic about educating our students in advanced, up-to-date esthetics so that they will have all the tools they need to succeed. Chemical peels are one of the various services that we provide, and it’s important to learn how chemical exfoliation works.

What is Chemical Exfoliation?

Although chemical exfoliation and a chemical peel achieve similar goals, it is important to understand that the chemicals used in exfoliation are not as strong as a peel. Chemical exfoliation takes more sessions over a longer period of time to achieve the results of a peel, but is a great option for more sensitive skin, or someone who wants to use gradual rather than drastic measures.

Why does your skin need chemical exfoliation? The skin cells of your skin regenerate every month, so often, dead skin cells accumulate over the surface of the new, healthy ones, causing clogged pores. Clogged pores can cause acne or a number of other skin problems, like a dull, unhealthy appearance. Although dead skin cells fall off on their own eventually, you may want to speed up the process. Chemical exfoliation helps to dissolve these cells so that new ones can grow in their place.

Why Use Chemical Exfoliation?

Finally, many people prefer chemical exfoliation to physical exfoliation because it is designed to go deeper into the skin than a physical scrub. It is a great, middle-ground option for sensitive skin that still provides excellent treatment and resurfacing of the skin cells.

Two Types of Exfoliation

Exfoliation is the process of removing dead skin cells from your epidermis using a variety of techniques. Chemical and physical exfoliation are frequently used to enhance skin health. Chemical exfoliation, on one hand, utilizes chemicals to remove dead skin cells from the surface of the skin, allowing for deeper penetration and great cell turnover. Physical exfoliation, on the other hand, employs a tool or another technique to scrape off dead skin cells manually.

Multiple Types of Chemical Exfoliation

There are three main types of chemicals used in chemical exfoliation: PHAs, BHAs, and AHAs. Each type provides different results, so it is important to be aware of the differences before choosing a product.

Poly Hydroxy Acids (PHAs)

Poly hydroxy acids, or PHAs, are a type of chemical exfoliator usually recommended for people with sensitive skin. The chemicals in this product, gluconolactone and lactobionic acids, have larger molecules. This means that they won’t penetrate as deeply into the skin, making it a good choice for those with sensitive skin.

Beta Hydroxy Acids (BHAs)

Beta hydroxy acids (BHAs) are usually made of salicylic and tropic acids. This form of exfoliator is used to unclog the pores, which may help to prevent skin problems like blemishes and wrinkles. Salicylic acid and glycolic acid are two of the most common acids used in skin care products. Individuals with oily skin or who have acne-prone skin may benefit from them.

Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs)

The products of some non-HOA acids, such as alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), often include a variety of naturally occurring acids. Some popular AHAs are citric, malic, lactic, and glycolic acids. If you use AHAs in your skincare routine, you will probably observe a big change to the complexion of your skin as well as subdued levels of hyperpigmentation.

Finding The Right Chemical Exfoliation For You

Narrowing down the right skincare products for your skin type can be tough, so it’s always good to consult with a professional beforehand. This way, you’re guaranteed a tailored game plan that works best for you and leaves your skin looking flawless.

We’re happy to answer any inquiries you may have about our services, programs, or instructors. We provide both fundamental and advanced courses to ensure that our students are well-equipped for a successful career in the field of esthetics.

HydraFacials are becoming increasingly popular across the United States, and for good reason. This incredibly hydrating, non-invasive procedure produces even-toned, radiant skin in just 30 minutes.

What Is A HydraFacial Treatment And How Does It Work?

The most powerful, non-invasive skin resurfacing procedure available today is a HydraFacial. It combines cleansing, exfoliation, extraction, moisturizing, and antioxidant protection to remove dead skin cells and impurities from the skin while also delivering hydrating serums into it.

The word “hydra” in HydraFacial refers to its ability to hydrate your skin extremely well. The procedure is also fast, taking only around 30 minutes. In addition, you will see the results immediately after the treatment with no recovery time required.

The HydraFacial wand vacuums pores and then infuses the skin with hydrating serums, as opposed to microdermabrasion, which uses aluminum oxide crystals to blast the skin’s surface. This moderate technique is what makes HydraFacials so soothing and restorative.

A HydraFacial improves the appearance of:

  • Oily, acne-prone skin
  • Dry skin
  • Uneven skin tone
  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Hyperpigmentation
  • Sun damage
  • Age spots
  • Blackheads
  • Enlarged and clogged pores
  • acne

Here are the three steps involved in a HydraFacial

There are three steps in the HydraFacial treatment, according to NIMA. There is no downtime — a common word for recovery time in dermatology — and the entire treatment can be done in as little as 30 minutes.

Cleanse and Peel

The resurfacing step exfoliates the skin, which is the process of removing dead skin cells from its outermost layer. It has many known benefits for skin health, such as making it appear brighter and unclogging pores. With regular use, it also increases collagen production and greatly reduces acne. The HydraFacial employs the HydraFacial tip to generate a fluid vortex over the skin, which gently removes contaminants and dead skin cells.

Extract and Hydrate

This tip gets acne-causing gunk out of pores  and delivers topical moisturizers simultaneously, making it the perfect tool for anyone with skin concerns.

Infuse and Protect

After the procedure, you’ll have “boosters,” or serums, which are intended to enhance the condition of your skin after an intense facial. The goal is to reduce hyperpigmentation, fine lines and wrinkles, dull skin tone, or clogged pores.

If you have sensitive skin and want to ease into a treatment like this, try the Geneo Super-Facial, a three-step facial that combines exfoliation with active topicals. DiamondGlow Dermalinfusion is another product that claims to exfoliate, extract, and infuse skin with radiance and rejuvenation. All of these procedures are based on the same idea: exfoliation and a serum treatment. The technology, on the other hand, differs. Inquire from your dermatologist or aesthetician about the best treatments for you and the advantages they could provide to you.

What Are the Advantages of a HydraFacial Procedure?

Suitable For All Skin Types

No matter your skin type, you will reap the rewards of a HydraFacial. Oily and acne-prone? Dry and flaky? Combination? Sensitive? It doesn’t matter! You can safely enjoy multiple sessions no matter what kind of skin you have.

Gentle On The Skin

Although a HydraFacial uses both exfoliation and extraction, you won’t feel any pain or irritation. Instead, your skin will be hydrated and glowing. Many patients have described the feeling of getting a HydraFacial as similar to a light face massage.

Zero Downtime

The HydraFacial procedure only takes about 30 minutes to complete, and there is no need for a recovery period afterward. The improvement in skin texture and tone may be observed immediately, so patients do not have to rest or wait for redness to go away. Rather, you may apply makeup right after treatment and resume your normal activities.

Can Be Paired With Other Treatments

HydraFacial procedures are non-invasive, which means that they can be used in combination with other skincare treatments. Whether you want injections or a non-ablative laser treatment, consult your esthetician about combining a HydraFacial with another beauty treatment to achieve your desired aesthetic results.

Fully Customizable 

A HydraFacial can be customized to your particular skin needs and goals by an esthetician. For example, Skin boosters like the Bright-alive Boost or Growth Factor Boost can be added to make the skin brighter while also reducing fine lines and wrinkles. Also, the suction power of the vacuum used during a HydraFacial can be adjusted to make it more gentle in sensitive areas such as around the eyes.

HydraFacial vs. microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion is similar to a HydraFacial in that it exfoliates your skin. The major distinction between the two is that microdermabrasion with tiny crystals targets fine lines, wrinkles, age spots, and acne scars while HydraFacial does not. Microdermabrasion also doesn’t employ serums.

Dermalinfusion vs. HydraFacial

A Dermalinfusion, like a HydraFacial, is a 3-in-1 facial treatment that cleanses, exfoliates, and distributes serums specifically designed to your skin’s needs. After the procedure, unlike a HydraFacial, Dermalinfusion might cause some redness and discomfort.

HydraFacial vs. radiofrequency therapy

The goal of radiofrequency (RF) therapy is to strengthen weakened skin and stimulate the production of new collagen. By utilizing heat energy in deep layer tissues, it may aid in increasing cell turnover and collagen synthesis. RF might also assist with acne scars. RF therapy is similar to HydraFacial in that it addresses the signs of skin aging. RF does not use exfoliation or serums, and each session may induce redness.

Takeaway

The HydraFacial is a 3-in-1 cleansing, exfoliating, and hydrating process that can help improve the appearance of your skin in just one session. Schedule an appointment with a dermatologist to discuss which cosmetic treatments would work best for you.

Wanting to look your best this fall season? You’re not alone. Chemical peels are all that anyone and everyone is talking about. Chemical peels are a type of cosmetic surgery that use chemicals to remove layers of skin and reveal the healthier skin beneath. Chemical peels are used to treat a range of skin problems, such as fine lines and wrinkles, acne, scars, uneven skin tone, and other blemishes. The depth of your peel and the kind of skin problem treated are determined by different chemicals.

What are chemical peels?

A chemical peel is a derma resurfacing procedure that uses chemicals to peel away the dead and damaged skin cells on the surface of your skin. This process causes cell turnover, which results in refreshed, new looking skin. With time, the old layers of skin will shed to reveal youthful and glowing skin below. The new skin is often smoother, with less wrinkles and fine lines. It also has an even complexion in terms of color and brightness and can remove or reduce acne scars, sun spots, and discoloration.

What medical problems and other conditions does a chemical peel help to treat?

Chemical peels can make your skin look better by evening out the tone and improving the texture. They are also used to treat certain skin conditions. The majority of chemical peels are done on your face, neck, or hands.

They may aid in the reduction or improvement of the following skin conditions:

  • Lines under your eyes or around your mouth resulting from sun damage, age, and genetic factors. 
  • Some types of acne.
  • Scars that are visible but not severe.
  • Darker melanin spots, responsible for producing these pigmentation disorders: sun spots, age spots, liver spots, freckles, and uneven skin color.
  • Actinic keratosis can be treated by removing the buildup of skin cells and reducing inflammation.
  • Can help improve your complexion: roughness, dryness, or flakiness.
  • Melasma is a type of permanent hyperpigmentation that occurs when the sun’s UV radiation damages your skin. It can also be caused by pregnancy, as well as using birth control pills.

Together, you and your dermatologist will decide how deep your peel should be. This decision can change depending on the state of your skin and what treatment goals have been set. If you have sagging skin, bulges, deep scars, or severe wrinkles, chemical peels will not give you the desired results. If these are your concerns, other cosmetic surgical treatments such as carbon dioxide laser resurfacing, a face lift, brow lift, eye lift, or soft tissue filler will be better alternatives. A dermatologist can help you choose the best treatment for your issues.

Does every skin type benefit from it?

Superficial peels are good for all skin types usually, but if you have darker skin, there is a bigger chance that your skin will darken after the treatment. Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation is a skin condition that develops when inflammation, such as sunburn or acne, persists after the injury has healed. If you have a naturally darker complexion, talk to your dermatologist about other less severe therapies to minimize the chance of hyperpigmentation.

Chemical peeling is usually not recommended if you:

  • Have a history of skin scarring that is abnormal
  • Have extra coloring in your scars
  • If you have any skin problems or use medications that make your skin more sensitive
  • You need to be in the sun consistently after the procedure

What happens during a chemical peel treatment?

Chemical peels may be done in a doctor’s office or a surgery center as an outpatient treatment. Your skin will be cleansed with a solution that removes excessive oils, while your eyes and hair are protected. A chemical solution is then applied to your skin. Chemical solutions used in this process include glycolic acid, trichloroacetic acid, salicylic acid, lactic acid or carbolic acid (phenol). The various types of chemicals induce a controlled injury, with each one entering through a different skin depth and subsequently peeling away to expose a new layer of skin.

Types of chemical peels

The peel’s depth relies on the strength of the chemicals used, which your dermatologist will help you choose.

  • A light (“lunchtime”) chemical peel, which provides a little improvement over time and is frequently done in a series, targets the outermost layer of skin. The epidermis is removed from the surface. This option may be ideal for enhancing a healthy glow if you have fine wrinkle lines, acne scars, uneven skin coloration or dry sun-damaged skin. It might take hours to days for this type of peel to heal; however there will be little to no downtime.
  • A medium chemical peel will transform your skin into looking smooth and fresh. The top layers of dead skin are removed, as well as the upper part of the middle layer. If you have moderate wrinkles, age spots, acne scars or uneven skin discoloration, this is probably the best option for you. However,… be aware that it usually takes a week or more to recover from this type of procedure – meaning minimal activity levels during that time period.
  • A deep chemical peel is the most effective way to achieve dramatic results. This chemical penetrates down to your skin’s lower middle layer. Recovery time is longer with a deep peel, but it may be the best option if you have moderate lines and wrinkles, extensive sun damage, deep acne scars, blotchy skin, or precancerous growths called actinic keratosis. If you receive a deep chemical peel, expect to take it easy for about eight weeks. Once applied to your face, this will be a one-time only treatment with some significant recovery time. Be sure to follow any specific instructions from the experts.

How to prepare

  • Try to steer clear of tanning and being in direct sunlight for two weeks leading up to each treatment
  • To prepare your skin, apply topical medications (such as hydroquinone) as directed before treatment
  • Do not use retinoid products, like tretinoin, one to two weeks before treatment unless your physician advises you otherwise
  • If you’ve been given oral antibiotics or an antiviral pill to treat cold sores, stop taking it at least 24 hours before your chemical peel
  • Any areas to be peeled must have healed completely, with no open sores or skin infections
  • Depending on the type of peel and your skin condition, your doctor will give you specific instructions

Day of peel: You will be completely cleansed. If you have a deep chemical peel, you may or may not receive general anesthesia (you will be asleep).

The procedure: A chemical peel is a process in which a solution is applied to your skin. You may experience a warm or hot sensation for a few minutes, followed by an itchy feeling. To reduce the discomfort, we’ll apply a chilly compress to your skin. The chemical is afterwards washed away or neutralized.

What are the risks?

If you have a certain skin type, there is a chance that the color of your skin may change temporarily or permanently. If you take birth control pills, are pregnant, or have a family history of brown discoloration on your face, your risk for developing abnormal pigmentation increases.

You’re also less likely to experience scarring in some areas of your face, though some people are more prone to it. If scarring does happen, know that there’s usually a successful treatment for it. if you have had herpes outbreaks before, there is low risk of reactivating the cold sore sea creature friend again. Your dermatologist can prescribe medicine which will lower the chance Beforehand; all you need to do is follow their directions!

Tell your dermatologist if you have a history of keloids (scar tissue overgrowth caused by an injury to the skin), any unusual scarring tendencies, or X-rays of your face or prior experience with cold sores before having chemical peels. Infections are uncommon but still possible.

After the procedure, what can I expect?

Depending on the depth of your chemical peel, you may or may not notice any changes after treatment.

If you’ve had a light chemical peel

  • Expect a sunburn-like sensation to follow your peel, with redness and scaling that persists for three to seven days.
  • Use lotion or cream as often as directed until your skin feels better. Once it does, apply sunscreen every day.
  • You may apply makeup immediately following your treatment, or the subsequent day.
  • Peels may be repeated every two to five weeks until you achieve your desired results. Three to five peels are usually needed to reach your goal.

If you’ve had a medium chemical peel

  • The side effects of this treatment may include temporary redness, swelling, stinging and flaking of your skin. Swelling could last and/or worsen for 48 hours. Blisters might develop and eventually break open. The treated area will crust over and peel off within seven to 14 days.
  • As directed by your doctor, perform daily washes. After each soak, apply ointment. Apply lotion or cream on a regular basis. Don’t expose your skin to direct sunlight until it has completely healed.
  • The duration for which one must take antiviral medication is 10 to 14 days.
  • Makeup can be applied approximately five to seven days post-treatment.
  • Depending on the results you want to maintain, additional peels may need to be done every six months to a year.

If you’ve had a deep chemical peel

  • Once the treatment area is bandaged, we’ll remove the bandages in a few days. The healing process should be completed within 14 to 21 days.
  • Perform daily soaks as directed by your doctor and apply ointment after each soak. After 14 days, you can begin to moisturize your skin as directed. However, it is important that you avoid exposure to sunlight for three to six months following treatment.
  • Anti-viral medicine will need to be taken for 10 to 14 days.
  • Wait at least 14 days before applying cosmetics.
  • You can only have one deep peel procedure performed on your face at a time.

How to get the best results

Your skin is especially delicate after your chemical peel and more vulnerable to problems. To decrease the likelihood of complications, like blotchy pigmentation, follow your doctor’s post-treatment guidelines carefully. Call your doctor if you have any of these symptoms: Itching, swelling, or burning. Scratching your skin might cause an infection. 

Here are some of the top things you should do for the best result:

  • When your skin is healing, don’t use a tanning bed or any other sort of indoor or outdoor tanning.
  • Once your skin has healed, be sure to apply sunscreen every day.
  • Apply a moisturizer every day, as directed, to keep your skin hydrated and avoid scarring.

When Kim Kardashian posted an Insta photo of herself with her face covered in blood, she started the vampire facial trend. If you haven’t heard of it, a vampire facial is a dermatological treatment that uses your blood to stimulate collagen production. The process of micro-needling, which is known as Collagen Induction Therapy or PRP, has become fashionable among A-listers and celebrities. If you’re curious about how anti-aging therapy works and what goes into it, keep reading to learn more.

What Is A Vampire Facial? How Does It Work?

The term “vampire facial” was coined by the beauty business to describe this treatment. This procedure is referred to as a platelet-rich plasma (PRP) facelift or therapy. It’s a therapy that consists of micro-needling your skin and then applying platelet-rich plasma or PRP on it.

The PRP is drawn from your blood. The blood contains a high amount of platelets, which include a slew of growth factors. These growth factors, when applied to your skin, aid in the increased cell turnover rate. Growth factors promote collagen and elastin production as well as skin hydration. They also include antioxidants in your skin. This treatment also improves the ability of your skin to absorb other skincare products, allowing you to use them more effectively.

To summarize, a vampire facial uses your blood to stimulate healthy cell function.

Initially, the blood facial treatment may seem extremely unpleasant, but it isn’t. So, what happens during the therapy? Take a look at the procedure below to find out.

Vampire Facial: The Procedure

Here’s what happens when you go for a vampire facial or PRP facial:

The skin care specialist will take a sample of blood from your body.

Platelets will be collected from your blood. The layers of the blood are separated at high speed using a centrifuge. Platelet-rich plasma is obtained from it after the other components have been removed.

The platelets are then applied to your skin through microneedling or microdermabrasion. The platelets fool your skin into thinking that it has been injured, causing it to produce more collagen.

The procedure is not a pleasant experience, and there will be some discomfort. It all depends on your pain threshold. So, why go through all this? Are there any advantages to doing so?

What Are The Benefits Of A Vampire Facial?

The platelet-rich plasma, as previously said, contains growth factors that promote collagen development and elasticity in the skin. This treatment aids in the following processes:

  • Improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
  • Improve your skin texture
  • Reduce the size of the skin pores
  • Improve the appearance of acne scars
  • Improve the plumpness of your skin
  • Give you a youthful glow and smooth skin
  • Improve the effectiveness of skincare products

This non-surgical cosmetic surgery is suited for those who don’t want to undergo another major surgical procedure. Although it has become a popular trend and is referred to as the key to eternal youth, it comes with several risks.

Are There Any Risk Factors Involved?

The vampire facial is a skin care treatment that has become increasingly popular, and it may help with numerous skin problems, but it also comes with a list of potential negative effects. Here are a few side effects of the procedure:

1. It Could Cause An Infection

There have been a few reports (according to news accounts) of individuals being exposed to blood-borne diseases such as Hepatitis B and C, as well as HIV. When a procedure is done incorrectly, without the right tools, proper infection control procedures, and medical attention, an adverse reaction can result. Typically, people who are not trained in the procedure carry it out unsupervised at spas. So, if you’re thinking about getting a vampiric facial, be sure the medispa is skilled in performing them.

2. It Is Painful

Yes. Kim Kardashian regretted having a vampire facial done because it was so painful (she didn’t use any numbing gel since she was pregnant). It’s preferable to avoid this if you have a low pain threshold..

3. It May Cause Inflammation

During the treatment, inflammation and bruises are very frequent (if you remember singer Kerry Katona, whose face was swollen after getting a vampire facial). To guarantee that the inflammation subsides, you must follow an appropriate wound care procedure.

A vampiric facial is a cosmetic treatment that includes micro needling and the application of plasma-rich platelet from your blood to your face. Platelets in the serum of your blood stimulate collagen production and improve skin hydration. Vampire facials enhance the skin’s texture, reduce acne scars, wrinkles, and fine lines, leaving you with smoother, healthier skin. Vampire facials, on the other hand, may cause a variety of problems, including blood-borne illnesses and inflammation. Before deciding whether to have a vampire facial, talk with your doctor about the procedure’s benefits and risks.

Vampire Facial vs. Vampire Facelift, What is the difference?

We get this question all the time, so I’d like to highlight the similarities and differences between these two often offered therapies.

To begin, let’s look at how they are similar: Both procedures utilize your growth factors to enhance the aesthetic aspect of your face. Each person has hundreds of different growth factors in their platelets. We can extract your blood and concentrate your platelets (platelet rich plasma) without removing the other cells that aren’t important to our research. We then deceive your platelets into believing that you’ve been injured, allowing them to release these growth factors. The Vampire Facial and Facelift are two distinct procedures.

The major component of your blood is liquid plasma, with smaller amounts of solid components like red cells, white cells, and platelets. Platelets aid in the formation of clots and contain important healing proteins.)

The Vampire Facial procedure, called microneedling, creates a large number of tiny channels in your skin to allow the growth factors in your serum to reach a deeper layer of your skin where cell development occurs. The Vampire Facial uses a minimally invasive technique to smooth the texture of the skin, reduce pore size, and minimize any scarring that is visible but not affecting volume of the face. Although blood is taken from you, there are no injections with the Vampire Facial.

The Vampire Facelift combines your facial growth factors with commonly used hyaluronic acid (HA) dermal fillers. The fillers are first injected into your face to provide a framework for the growth factors and improve volume. Then your filler is injected into the sites of the filler to help increase volume and tone. Depending on your personal objectives, you may need additional fillers.

Vampire Facelift Treatment Process

The Vampire Facial and the steps that follow are comparable to each other, but the use of dermal fillers distinguishes the treatment. They inject dermal fillers into your face after completing your consultation and obtaining blood.

To induce stem cells in the skin, they then inject the prepared platelet rich plasma into specific regions of the face. Tissue regeneration, or the formation of new tissue in the treatment area, is induced by multipotent stem cells. This causes an increase in volume and skin rejuvenation over time.

2-3 months after your laser treatment, the changes in your skin will have stabilized. Depending on your skin, lifestyle, and other anti-aging treatments you may use, the effects can last anywhere from 1 to 2 years.

Due to the incredible advantages, the vampire facial treatment has been gaining popularity. This is a treatment that you should think about if you want your skin to be rejuvenated and radiant. Who doesn’t want to have smoother, more radiant, and more youthful skin right away? If you’re ready to have skin that glows, we can help make that a reality at NIMA. Continue reading to learn more about the vampire facial before and after the treatment.

What Is a Vampire Facial Treatment?

This vampire facial treatment can also be applied to other areas of the body, contrary to popular belief. It’s a facial that makes use of the natural platelet-rich plasma, commonly known as PRP, which is already available in the body. The procedure deals with the skin from the inside out, resulting in a beautiful glow. The skin will appear visibly healthier, smoother, and more radiant after this treatment.

What You Should Do For A Vampire Facial Before and After Treatment

If you’re looking to get a vampire facial procedure, make sure you don’t take blood thinners for at least a few days before your appointment. Over-the-counter drugs such as Ibuprofen, Aspirin, and Advil should be avoided. The blood will be used in your facial. Aside from that, you may continue with your usual skin care regimen.

You should sleep on a clean pillowcase after your treatment is completed. It’s also advised that you avoid dust after your treatment and to avoid any activity that will cause excessive sweating. Our professionals will also let you know if there are any additional types of exercises to avoid as well as provide guidance on how to properly care for your skin.

Our specialists will be with you every step of the way to ensure that you get the most out of this treatment by ensuring that you take all necessary steps before and after treatment.

The Benefits

Following the treatment, your skin will tighten and any fine lines or wrinkles will diminish after 1 to 2 weeks. In addition, any acne, scarring, or other skin concerns will be significantly reduced. The benefits last for around three months, as your natural collagen replenishes and produces visible radiant skin.

You’ll have a clearer complexion than you had previously, and other signs of aging will be reduced. This type of facial is going to give you younger-looking skin that glows and is free of imperfections. Furthermore, scalp treatment with this ingredient will stimulate hair growth while also increasing the amount of hair you have.

It can also help you get more round, firmer breasts in the breast region by reducing signs of aging and increasing firmness. It will also remove the typical indicators of aging, such as creases and dull skin, on the neck and chest region.

How Does The Vampire Facial Work?

A facial of this sort is not the same as a traditional one. The PRP will be taken straight from your blood drawn from your arm. Your blood is then drawn into a tube and centrifuged, leaving the platelets behind. Platelets, which aid in the healing process, are introduced through a needle into the skin surrounding the target area.

The PRP will work to heal your skin from the inside out, resulting in a much more apparent effect than other types of facelift. The blood’s PRP has a great deal of strength and is used to correct any flaws as well as minimize the visible symptoms of aging.

If you’re interested in becoming a medical aesthetician, read more about it on our blog, ‘How To Find Esthetician Schools Near Me.’

What to Expect During Treatment

During therapy, a blood sample will be drawn in the same manner that it is at the doctor’s office. The blood will be used to isolate PRP. The protein is then applied to the surface of clean skin with the help of a micro-needling instrument. The PRP is then injected into the skin, which creates small wounds so that the top layer of skin can be pierced and transformed from the inside.

The last portion of PRP is then absorbed into your skin, where it may be absorbed completely. The advantages of this kind of facial might last a year or more! Despite the name, which makes one feel nervous, the treatment procedure itself is not frightening at all.

Commonly Asked Questions

1. Vampire Facial Before and After, Will It Hurt?

Unlike a facelift, which some have compared the results of this treatment to, you aren’t having surgery and the process is not invasive. You will not feel any discomfort as you would with other, comparable therapies.

2. How Do I Know if I’m a Good Candidate?

Our specialists will examine whether or not this sort of therapy is likely to provide the results you want. This sort of treatment is most effective for individuals with light to moderate skin disorders, such as fine lines and wrinkles, and other signs of aging.

If you’ve been thinking about a facelift but don’t have the time to recover, this is an excellent alternative for you since there is no downtime! After treatment, you can resume your normal activities without concern. This is a more natural procedure than most since it employs your body’s own PRP, making it ideal for individuals looking for a less invasive treatment for skin problems.

3. How Long Until I See Results?

You may notice the effects of your treatment begin to show after a few days and continue to improve for weeks afterwards. You may possibly notice additional advantages for up to three months after receiving PRP, which works beneath the skin to offer you that beautiful glow from the inside out. Following treatment, your skin will become more smoother, brighter, and younger-looking with each passing week.

4. How Long Will the Results Last?

In certain situations, the effects of a vampire facial can last up to a year or longer. The length of time that your results will endure is different for each individual. The duration of this therapy also depends on how well you maintain your skin following treatment.

Following your treatment, our specialists will walk you through how to take care of your skin in order to get the most out of your results and keep them looking good. Unlike other types of facials, you will feel the impacts and advantages for a longer period of time than with other traditional facials.

5. What Areas Can I Have Treated?

Despite the fact that most people think this sort of therapy can only be done on the face, it may in fact be performed on other parts of the body. The face is by far the most popular location for this treatment since signs of aging are more visible there. However, you may also get this treatment on your neck and chest, as these areas are sometimes affected by aging.

The PRP-treated scalp is therefore likely to benefit from the same effects that it does on other places, including the rest of your body. When this therapy is applied to the scalp, it may promote hair growth and give you thicker, fuller hair than you’ve ever had. The PRP therapy may also help your breasts. It will revitalize the skin surrounding the breasts, giving them a more full appearance. It’s almost as if it were a little breast lift!

This type of therapy is also helpful for people with stretch marks or scarring around the breasts. The PRP’s advantages are so great that they may help with all parts of the body and all issues.

6. Does It Really Work?

This is a frequent misconception about this form of facial, as many people believe it to be a passing trend. But, that’s not the case at all. This revolutionary, non-invasive therapy does work and the advantages are indisputable. Exfoliating your skin will help to refresh it and other skin issues such as acne, scarring, dullness, large pores, and more will be considerably reduced.

While you may not be convinced of this approach, it does work and the outcomes are proof enough.

7. Is There Downtime?

There is no downtime with this one, unlike other types of therapies that provide comparable results! This is especially beneficial to individuals who don’t have enough time to recuperate following surgery. You can go about your daily routine without interruption after getting this sort of therapy.

8. Is It Safe?

This procedure is completely secure. There are no hazards involved with other types of therapies that will provide comparable results. You don’t have to be concerned about your safety while this procedure is being done on you or after it is completed.

9. How Long Does Treatment Take?

This treatment will generally take around an hour. However, the length of time this procedure will consume varies from person to person depending on which regions are being treated. When compared to other procedures that will provide you comparable results, it is a modest therapy.

10. Is This Only for Women?

Not at all! This therapy can help anyone who has skin concerns such as age, minor scarring, acne, or other forms of common skin conditions. Both males and females may benefit from the numerous advantages that this sort of treatment can provide.

11. How Often Can I Have This Treatment?

Because the effects of this therapy may last for up to a year, there is no need to get multiple applications unless our specialists feel you will benefit from them. Our specialists will talk with you about your specific situation and advise you on how often you should have this sort of treatment. Check out our spa menu here to get started today!

What is a vampire facial?

A facial includes a microneedling treatment and platelet-rich plasma (PRP). Microneedling involves the use of tiny, fine needles to puncture the skin. The needles are between .5 and 2.5 millimeters in size. You may rest confident that the needles will not feel like much more than pinpricks; they just go into the surface of your skin. The pricks are used to “injure” your skin so that it can heal itself by producing elastin and collagen, as well as allowing PRP to get deeper penetration.

After microneedling, PRP is applied to your skin topically. Platelet-rich plasma protein from blood is used to make PRP. Growth factors are abundant in PRP, allowing tissue to heal and repair itself.

What is the process?

Microneedling with PRP is done in a doctor’s office. The first step is a minor blood draw that is not unpleasant. The red blood cells, plasma, and platelets are separated from the plasma by centrifuging your blood.

Before the microneedling procedure begins, a numbing ointment is applied to the face to alleviate any discomfort caused by the needling..

The numbing cream is applied to the skin after the microneedling procedure, and then the PRP is rubbed on. The PRP should be left on the skin for the rest of the day in order to get optimal results. For a few days following treatment, patients will experience dry, red, sensitive skin that feels like a mild sunburn.

What are the benefits?

The vampire facial has several benefits, including stimulation of skin cell turnover, improvement in skin tone and texture, and increased circulation. Microneedling with PRP is also useful for reducing fine lines and signs of aging. This therapy can be beneficial to individuals who have had acne or visible acne scars or sun damage as a result of long-term exposure to the sun.

What does your face look like after a vampire facial?

Your skin will become and feel brighter, dewier, more supple, and refreshed after the acid injury is healed (which might take up to a week), but don’t expect those advantages right away. My face was hilariously crimson and flushed following my treatment, with the exception of for the rest of the day when it only softened to a beautiful pink. The skin on my face felt tight, sore, and dry, as if I’d been swimming in the salty sea with a sunburn. By the following morning, however, the redness had substantially improved but I still had little red splotches all over my face that took a few days to go away.

How long does vampire facial last?

You will have a beautiful, dewy glow for a few weeks after your skin has healed, but know that your results will only get better with time. Basically, a vampire facial is an investment in your future skin; it isn’t a quick fix. “Collagen stimulation, which causes the tightening and remodeling of collagen, occurs over the course of six months to a year after surgery,” Dr. Carqueville says. I mean, you’re basically fooling your body into believing it’s aging more slowly so that you can speed up its natural regenerative process.

What should I do after the vampire facial?

Keep things basic for the first few days after your operation. You’ve just inflamed tissues that need to heal, so avoid any abrasive materials like exfoliating acids. If your skin is somewhat dry, Dr. Carqueville recommends applying a hyaluronic acid serum and a thin layer of Vaseline on top of clean skin for the first 48 hours. Otherwise, use a no-frills lotion that keeps you looking young.

Dr. Carqueville advises utilizing a dark-spot-correcting lotion after a few days of initial healing (48 to 72 hours after) while it still permeates successfully. “When you do microneedling, you increase the size of your skin channels so that topical medicines can be absorbed better,” he explains. According to Dr. Carqueville, it does aid in making the skin more receptive to active components

What is the most important thing you should never do? Sunbathing isn’t a smart idea. Because Dr. Carqueville says that vampire facials thin the top layer of your skin, you don’t have as much sun protection as you would if you didn’t use one, so be wary. Avoiding sunlight as much as possible during the early healing period is critical, followed by frequent application of sunscreen and appropriate attire to preserve your skin.

Who would be a candidate?

Microneedling with PRP is suitable for almost everyone. Those who have wrinkles and fine lines, significant sun damage, or uneven skin tones may benefit from this therapy. If you’ve had any past problems with blood clotting or bleeding, you’re not a candidate.

How long is Vampire Facial training course?

The course lasts for 2 days and 16 hours. The tuition cost for vampire facial training is $2000.

What Is The Vampire Facial™?

The Vampire Facial is a one-of-a-kind facial aesthetic treatment that combines platelet rich plasma with micro-needling on the face.

A patient’s arm is pricked and their blood is filtered through a centrifuge, which separates the PRP (platelet-rich plasma). The patient’s face is treated with a numbing cream, such as lidocaine, to prevent them from feeling too much pain and then micro-needling or microdermabrasion are performed to the face.

The process of producing new collagen, stem cells, and improving texture, color, and vibrancy in skin is known as dermal regeneration. After the growth factors in PRP stimulate multipotent stem cells that are already present in the skin (making them believe there’s been an injury and new younger tissue should develop), they activate them.

The suggested benefits of a vampire facial are:

  • Reduced wrinkles
  • Plump skin
  • Faded or diminished acne scars
  • Brightened skin

Why Try Vampire Facial™ Training?

  • Setting up reasonable expectations and treatment intervals.
  • Understand the setup and procedure of the Vampire Facial Protocol.

Beyond The Vampire Facial™ Training, Does It Work?

The effectiveness of vampire facials is based on plasma. Plasma is a high-quality protein that transports nutrients, protein, and hormones to the rest of the body. This is supposed to stimulate collagen and elastin production in the skin, resulting in firmer, younger-looking skin.

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is another alternative therapy that may help the body heal. It may also be used to mark the hairline and encourage hair growth.

It can also be used to help heal sports injuries, muscular issues, arthritis, and other problems. Although there is little evidence on vampire facials in particular, studies suggest PRP may help promote hair growth, ease pain from osteoarthritis, and treat sports injuries.

One study found that “both fine and coarse texture improved significantly more with a single treatment of PRP than with normal saline.”

Is it Safe?

Vampire facials are typically regarded as safe if performed with sanitized equipment in a clean environment. People with early wrinkles or hyperpigmentation who want to tone down the darkness in their skin are good candidates for the treatment.

However, as with most aesthetic treatments, unsanitary equipment raises the danger of infection and illness, so do extensive research before selecting your doctor.

What to Expect When Receiving The Treatment During The Vampire Facial Training

Here’s what to anticipate before, during, and after the Vampire Facial™ training procedure.

Because your body replaces approximately three days’ worth of plasma every three days, you should aim to eat a nutritious diet at least for the three days before your visit.

Before the procedure, your trainee will cleanse your skin and apply a topical anesthetic to numb the region. A small sample of blood will be collected from your arm and placed in the centrifuge to separate the platelets while your face numbs.

The trainee will puncture your skin using a tiny needling instrument after you’ve been nice and numb for a while. Finally, the PRP will be applied and worked into the skin.

To conclude, your trainee may apply a lotion to help speed up the healing process and prevent infection. All in all, it takes anywhere from 30-45 minutes.

Vampire facials are incredibly popular, with little or no downtime and you may even drive yourself home after the treatment! There’s no danger of rejection since you’re utilizing your body’s own blood components.

Possible side effects following the procedure may include:

  • Redness
  • Swelling
  • Itching
  • Dry skin
  • Bruising
  • Tingling

Facials are a wonderful technique to maintain your skin and keep it feeling and looking young! With all of the health problems induced by age, UV exposure, and even poor air quality, sometimes we just want some assistance in the cosmetic department. There are many various sorts of facials that utilize diverse instruments to rejuvenate your skin’s appearance and texture. The PRP facial treatment, also known as the vampire facial, is one of the most common and successful types of facials for these results.

We’re sure you’re all thinking the same thing: this sounds ideal for Halloween! Fortunately, the vampire facial is not nearly as frightening as it sounds, and it is the perfect option any time of year. In reality, it could be your new all-in-one solution for smooth and healthy skin.

How does a vampire facial work?

The vampire facial is a straightforward and simple procedure. Microneedling is likely to be the first treatment, after your doctor has numbed your face. They will take a tiny sample of your blood, which will be placed in a centrifuge, from there. You have 11 minutes to draw, spin, and apply the PRP, so this procedure is rapid and efficient! The spinning action of a centrifuge separates your platelet-rich plasma, or PRP, from your red blood cells.

PRP(Platelet Rich Plasma) is a well-known source of growth hormone in the human body and can enhance elastin and collagen production in your skin, providing you with a more youthful appearance. Platelet-rich plasma is a type of blood treatment that’s been used to treat tendon, muscle, ligament, and joint problems as well as a variety of other sports medicine applications. When it comes to rejuvenating your face’s skin, you know it’s the real deal when it comes from Platelet-Rich Plasma Therapy. PRP therapy carries a lot less risk of side effects than other treatments. Furthermore, since the treatment involves your own blood, there’s essentially no danger of an allergic reaction to PRP.

Who is the target audience for a vampire facial?

The answer is straightforward: if you’re unhappy with the look of your skin, the vampire facial might be the solution. Facial flaws including large pores, wrinkles, and fine lines from aging or sun exposure can have a serious negative influence on your self-esteem and confidence – especially when we’re looking at ourselves in video conferences all day. A facial peel, on the other hand, is a procedure used to remove the outer layer of your skin. Facial peels can temporarily improve the texture of your skin and address short-term issues like acne, but they require a more comprehensive treatment such as the vampire facial to truly enhance the appearance of your skin from within out.

It’s critical to remember that the vampire facial consists of a combination of your own platelet-rich plasma and microneedling treatment to break through the skin’s surface. The tiny microneedles stimulate blood flow to your face as well as triggering your body’s natural healing response, which means the collagen production in your face will increase so that you can “heal” from the pricks of the needle. After your PRP is infused, it works in tandem with microneedling to improve the texture of your skin, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, reduce pores, and provide you with a long-term boost of self-esteem for weeks and even months after the treatment.

Who is qualified to give a vampiric facial?

Because the vampire facial necessitates the drawing of blood, conventional estheticians are not qualified to provide the therapy since they do not have access to the necessary equipment or education. Vampire facials are only available from medical professionals, ensuring that you’ll be in good hands every time.

How long does a Vampire Facial treatment last?

Mild side effects, such as redness and minor skin sensitivity, are common. While the Vampire Facial can start working immediately, you may not experience optimal results until months later. There isn’t a lot of time spent in recovery, and you don’t have to take off from work.

How often should you get Vampire Facials?

Microchanneling with PRP may be done alone or in combination with other noninvasive procedures. Our skincare and cosmetic treatments are based on your present skin condition and desired outcomes.  Most patients receive a Vampire Facial every few weeks during their first therapy sessions. Maintenance sessions are done two to four times each year. You may still get other treatments between maintenance sessions to make your results even better.

In conclusion, we love vampire facials. They are life changing and can benefit your skin immensely, so try them out! If you have any further questions, feel free to contact us or stop by! We also offer lash lifts in Utah, so be sure to try out those too!

Facials are such a fun way to get the pampering you need. There is quite a big stigma that they aren’t for everyone. Well, we are here to break that stigma down. Facials are truly for anyone that wants one. Those who have almost perfect skin and even those who do not. The guys and the gals can get into facials that are just right for them. Everyone has a different skin type and therefore every skin needs a different treatment. Here at NIMA we offer a lot of different types. In this article we’ll explain each of our facials so that you can better choose the right one for you. We here at NIMA want to make sure that our clients are happy and are well educated on our treatments so that there is confidence in their choices.

 

Facials for you and me and them 

Like we stated above, we have a lot of different options when it comes to our facials. Each one is tailored to a different need or multiple needs. Keep reading to figure out which one will best fit your needs! 

 

  • Acne: This facial will help clear up those annoying breakouts. This treatment can be used no matter your age. Oftentimes people associate acne with younger people, but we know that adults also struggle with this issue. So, we’re here to help. This one will help with excess oil, black heads, and uneven complexion.
  • Acne Power Treatment: More acne? No problem.  We’ve the right tools to help those who only have a little acne and those who have a lot. In this facial we use Dermasound technology. As well as a salicylic peel to help clear up that annoying acne. This one may also help prevent future breakouts. You’ll be amazed at how quickly you’ll see a difference. 
  • Age Management: Everyone ages, but how you do it matters. Trying to mask your wrinkles with make-up may not be the move. However, this facial may be what helps you the most. In the facial we combine alpha hydroxyl acids, skin balancing and exfoliating ingredients. This could help you achieve a younger appearance just by the tone and texture of your skin after the treatment. Everyone ages and maybe our age management facial can assist you in doing so gracefully. 
  • Dermasound: This facial is ultrasonic and uses the highest technology available. A Dermasound facial uses low frequency sound waves to exfoliate the skin. These low frequency sound waves may create changes in the texture and tone of your skin. If you have sensitive skin and are sensitive to most types, you may benefit from a Dermasound facial. 
  • Gentlemen’s Spa: Step up, gentleman! Facials aren’t just for the feminine. You guys need to take care of your skin too! This gentlemen’s facial helps to prevent ingrown hairs. It will also be customized to each person’s needs. This type is wrapped up with a shoulder and neck massage.
  • Hyperpigmentation: Whether you’ve been in the sun a lot throughout your life or your skin texture is uneven. This hyperpigmentation facial may help improve the look of those sunspots. As well as smooth out the texture of the skin to give you more glowing skin.    
  • LED: This LED light therapy facial may help reduce wrinkles, acne, and hyperpigmentation. By using what you usually try to avoid when it comes to skin, the light! However, it should be noted that this light is different from the one you find outside or in tanning beds. LED facials may improve production of elasticity and collagen of the skin. Perhaps the light isn’t as bad as you thought.  
  • Microcurrent: Microcurrent facials are made to reduce signs of aging. It’s a non-invasive facial treatment that may help lift up tissues and facial muscles. It may also improve hydration and circulation of the skin. Your skin will feel rejuvenated.  
  • Microdermabrasion: This is NIMA’s favorite type of exfoliating facials. There are three different types of microdermabrasion. We will customize this facial to your skin’s needs to give you the best results possible. Microdermabrasion is made to improve the look of fine lines, the starting signs of aging, and hyperpigmentation.  
  • NIMA Signature: Our signature facial, one of our favorites to perform. It’s a European type that begins with a strong cleansing. After that we exfoliate to show your smooth, glowing skin. Then we customize a masque and follow it with a nutrient dense moisturizer. We wouldn’t call it a NIMA signature if we didn’t think everyone would love it.  
  • Reconditioning and Firming: Add some moisture and tighten that skin! Our reconditioning and firming facial will leave your skin feeling fresh and shining. If your skin is dry and dull. Or if you’re starting or in the aging process, this treatment is for you. We will help your skin cells by adding all of the nutrients, hydration, and the firming properties of Vitamin C with this reconditioning type. Who doesn’t want a little toning and hydration?  
  • Rosacea: Rosacea is something that many people struggle with. It’s far more common than many people think. Our Rosacea facial was made to reduce redness and inflammation (key problems with Rosacea). It may also help calms while adding strength to the capillary walls that cause rosacea. If you’ve got Rosacea, this facial may be something to consider.   
  • Seasonal Deluxe: Enjoy each season with the seasonal deluxe facial by us here at NIMA. This type hydrates as well as exfoliates to give your skin the glow it craves. Your senses will be exhilarated with a seasonal facial masque and luxurious body cream. Each season brings something different. Perhaps this one should come along with it. 
  • Vitamin C Plus: This particular facial was made for those aging and who have more sensitive skin. This is a peeling treatment and is followed by a masque that is infused with Vitamin C. Your skin will be left feeling firmer and will increase cellular turnover to get rid of any dry skin cells you may have.
