The "vampire facial" is probably one of the most famous luxury facials thanks to a viral photo of Kim Kardashian with blood all over her face. Soon after the image surfaced around the world, everyone was intrigued by the vampire facial. So what is it, exactly? Two things go into the vampire facial: Microneedling and platelet-rich plasma (PRP).
Microneedling is a procedure that targets signs of aging and stimulates collagen production, and is generally conducted with a roller or device with small needles that prick your skin, via Healthline. PRP is a bit more complex, but essentially, it consists of extracting blood from the client. The blood then undergoes a process in a centrifuge that separates the platelet-rich plasma (PRP) from the red blood cells, according to Healthline. In the vampire facial, the microneedling is combined with the PRP to basically trick the client's body to heal and repair itself faster. This treatment can also successfully treat scars, sun spots caused by UV damage, fine lines, and large pores, according to Glamour.
The treatment may set you back around $750 per session, but depends on your provider and location, per Healthline.
