We all have days where we look in the mirror and wish our skin looked as energetic and vibrant as we feel on the inside. Whether it’s lingering acne scars from years ago, uneven texture, or just a dullness that won’t go away, these concerns are valid. If it bothers you, it matters to us. At Rejuvenations Boutique Medspa, we believe the best solution is often the most natural one, using your body’s own healing power to reveal a fresher, healthier you.
What is a Vampire Facial?
A Vampire Facial is a powerful, natural skin rejuvenation treatment that combines Microneedling with your body’s own Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP). Think of it as “supercharging” a standard microneedling session.
The process is simple and rooted in science:
- The Draw: We draw a small amount of your blood (just like a standard lab test).
- The Spin: We place it in a centrifuge to spin it down, separating the red blood cells from the plasma. This leaves us with “liquid gold”, plasma packed with growth factors and platelets.
- The Treatment: We perform a microneedling treatment to create tiny channels in your skin, then apply your concentrated PRP. This allows those powerful growth factors to penetrate deeply, accelerating healing and stimulating massive collagen production.
What It Treats
By harnessing your own biology, the Vampire Facial addresses complex skin concerns more aggressively than microneedling alone:
- Acne Scars: Significantly softens deep pitting and texture irregularities.
- Fine Lines & Wrinkles: Plumps the skin naturally by rebuilding your own collagen.
- Uneven Skin Tone: Brightens the complexion and helps fade dark spots.
- Enlarged Pores: Refines skin texture for a smoother, airbrushed look.
- Dullness: Delivers a “lit-from-within” glow that lasts.
The Experience & Results
We know the name “Vampire Facial” can sound intense, but the experience is actually quite comfortable. We are not here to rush you; we take the time to ensure you are fully numb and relaxed before we begin.
Your appointment starts with a blood draw by our specialized providers, Ashley, APRN, or Kaitlyn, RN, BSN. While your PRP is being prepared, we apply a strong topical anesthetic to your face. The microneedling portion feels like a light vibration or scratching sensation. Most clients find the addition of PRP actually soothes the skin during treatment, often speeding up the recovery time compared to standard microneedling. You may look pink (like a mild sunburn) for 24–48 hours, but you can typically return to your normal routine quickly.
Trusted Expertise, Close to Home
Because this treatment involves drawing and processing blood, safety and sterility are non-negotiable. You need a medical professional you can trust implicitly. Glenda Cunningham, APRN, leads our team with a ‘medicine-first’ mindset, but she has hand-selected a team of experts to perform this specialized treatment. You will be in the capable hands of Ashley, APRN, or Kaitlyn, RN, BSN. They adhere to the strictest safety protocols, ensuring your care is not only effective but medically sound.
At Rejuvenations, we combine this clinical precision with a warm, neighborly atmosphere. We’ll never recommend a treatment just because it’s trendy; we only suggest what will truly help you reach your goals. We treat you like family because, to us, you are.
Is a Vampire Facial Right for You?
This treatment is a fantastic option for women at various stages of their skin journey:
- The Preventative Patient (20s & 30s): If you want that “glass skin” glow or are looking to clear up post-acne marks before a big life event (like a wedding), this is your go-to.
- The Restorative Patient (40s, 50s+): If you are noticing that your skin has lost its “bounce” or if deeper lines and texture are becoming a concern, the growth factors in the Vampire Facial provide the heavy lifting needed to rejuvenate aging skin naturally.
Common Questions About the Vampire Facial
How much does a Vampire Facial cost in Nortonville?
We strive to keep our pricing fair and accessible for our community. The Vampire Facial is an investment in your skin that costs more than standard microneedling due to the advanced processing of your PRP. We will provide a clear, upfront quote during your consultation, no hidden fees, ever.
Will it hurt?
We take your comfort very seriously. We use a high-quality prescription-grade numbing cream that sits on the skin before we begin. Most clients report feeling pressure or a “sandpaper” sensation, but it is generally very manageable.
How is this different from regular Microneedling?
Regular microneedling uses a generic serum to help the device glide. The Vampire Facial uses your own blood’s growth factors (PRP). This not only boosts the collagen production significantly but often speeds up the healing process, giving you better results in fewer treatments.
Is it safe to use my own blood?
Yes, it is one of the safest treatments available because it is autologous, meaning it comes from you. There is virtually no risk of allergic reaction or rejection since we are using your own biology to heal your skin.
Will I look natural?
100%. We believe in enhancing, not changing. Since this treatment works by stimulating your body to produce its own collagen and elastin, the results are completely natural. You will just look like a fresher, rested version of yourself.
How much downtime is there?
You can expect redness, similar to a sunburn, for 1 to 3 days. Some clients experience mild peeling or dryness as the skin renews itself. We will give you specific aftercare instructions to keep your skin hydrated and protected.
How many treatments will I need?
While many clients see a “glow” after just one visit, we typically recommend a series of 3 treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart for optimal results, especially if we are treating acne scars or deeper lines.
