VAMPIRE FACIAL VS. AT HOME MICRONEEDLING: THE TRUTH

The Platelet Rich Plasma Facial, popularly known as the Vampire Facial, was made famous when Kim Kardashian posted a selfie during the facial process.

The facial may look scary while in progress, but it’s supposed to result in some huge skin benefits; from helping wrinkles, sun damage, acne scars, and uneven skin tone and texture.

This treatment is a combination of microneedling and PRP (platelet-rich plasma). PRP is the serum portion of blood that contains super powerful platelets. The theory is that the platelets contain growth factors, which when applied to the skin, will stimulate cell production revealing a new, even, fresh skin tone. The procedure should only be done in-office by certified professionals.

There are home microneedling tools available too! Choosing a microneedling tool that's safe is the main concern of an at-home acne scar treatment. Home treatments will often not penetrate as deeply and can enhance exfoliation and product absorption. The results may not be as fast as with in-office microneedling. But Microneedling at home can definitely give improvements to acne scars and hyperpigmentation through consistent use for a couple of months. Patience is a virtue when it comes to microneedling.

Everyone's skin is different, but with consistent and long term use, you should see results within two to three months. Depending on how fresh your acne marks are and how fast your skin naturally heals, you may even see results sooner.

Microneedling can work for depressed acne scars. This has to do with the collagen-inducing effects that maximize the potential for skin regeneration.
