Vampire Facial

What is Vampire Facial Treatment at Oceanaconte Spa & Clinic?

The Vampire Facial, also known as Autologous Serum Rejuvenation, has taken Hollywood by storm and gained global popularity as one of the most sought-after skin rejuvenation methods in recent years. While it may not grant immortality, it certainly helps you achieve the myth of timeless beauty. Vampire Facial refers to Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP), a high-concentration blood plasma enriched with growth factors that promote skin rejuvenation, stimulate fibroblast cells to produce more collagen and elastin, effectively countering the signs of aging.

The PRP technique has been widely employed in clinical settings for conditions such as arthritis, eye treatments, and burns due to its rich array of growth factors that expedite skin repair, regeneration, and wound healing, making it increasingly popular in medical aesthetics.

How does Vampire Facial work?

Vampire Facial primarily involves separating Platelet-Rich Plasma from your own blood. During the procedure, your blood is first collected and then processed through precise centrifugation to purify the Platelet-Rich Plasma, which is then re-injected into your skin. It can also be applied to the scalp to address issues related to hair loss.

The purified Platelet-Rich Plasma contains a variety of growth factors and proteins that significantly improve signs of skin aging. Notably, the platelets are rich in six types of growth factors, including:

PDGF (Platelet-derived growth factor): Promotes collagen production, restoring skin's suppleness and smoothness.
EGF (Epidermal growth factor): Accelerates skin cell repair and epidermal regeneration.
VEGF (Vascular endothelial growth factor): Stimulates endothelial cell growth, enhancing microvascular formation and strengthening skin microcirculation.
FGF (Fibroblast growth factor): Increases skin cell activity, fostering skin tissue repair.
TGF-β (Transforming growth factor-β): Regulates cell tissue growth rates, encouraging healthy skin cell proliferation.
SDF1-alpha (Stromal cell-Derived Factor 1): Enhances skin immunity.
These growth factors work in synergy to boost skin cell turnover, increase collagen synthesis, and encourage the formation of collagen and hyaluronic acid in the dermal tissue. This addresses issues like skin dryness, thin epidermal layers, acne scars, pigmentation irregularities, and rough skin texture.

What does Vampire Facial Treat?

Wrinkles and Fine Lines: PRP's growth factors promote collagen and elastin synthesis, improving forehead lines, frown lines, crow's feet, nasolabial folds, marionette lines, periorbital wrinkles, dorsal nasal lines, laugh lines, and neck wrinkles.

Acne Scarring and Pockmarks: Vampire Facial's potent growth factors stimulate skin cell repair and regeneration, fostering collagen production, effectively diminishing atrophic scars.

Sagging and Laxity: Vampire Facial encourages the generation of collagen and elastin fibers in the dermis, resulting in firmer, uplifted, and tighter skin.

Skin Brightening and Even Tone: PRP accelerates skin cell renewal, enhances skin metabolism, eliminating dull and tired-looking skin, while also reducing pigmentation irregularities.

Dark Circles: Injecting PRP around the eyes can help improve blood circulation and melanin metabolism, reducing the appearance of dark circles.

Rough Skin Texture and Enlarged Pores: Skin roughness and large pores often result from collagen loss. Vampire Facial restores healthy skin metabolism by increasing collagen levels, improving skin surface and pore size.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How many sessions are required to see noticeable results?

The 3D Non-Surgical Facelift at Oceanaconte Spa & Clinic is a single-session treatment, and you will immediately observe a significant, voluminous, and firming effect.
Can the implanted Soft Threads and hyaluronic acid be fully absorbed by the body?

Soft Threads are eventually metabolized by the body into water and carbon dioxide and then absorbed. Hyaluronic acid naturally exists in the skin and participates in normal skin metabolism, thus being absorbed and broken down.
What age is suitable for the 3D Non-Surgical Facelift treatment at Oceanaconte Spa & Clinic?

Age is not the key factor. As long as you notice signs of skin sagging, a vague facial contour, and a loss of subcutaneous soft tissue, you can consider this treatment.
After the Soft Threads and hyaluronic acid are absorbed and metabolized, will the face quickly become more saggy and droopy?

The skin will not suddenly sag because even after Soft Threads are absorbed, the skin's collagen and elastin will continue to increase, maintaining the firmness and elasticity of the skin. After hyaluronic acid is metabolized, the injection site will return to its original state, and there will be no more wrinkles or depressions.
What are the risks and side effects?

Any injection has some risks. While hyaluronic acid injections are widely used in medical aesthetics and are very safe, if not administered properly, they may result in rare risks such as facial clots, blindness, and localized skin necrosis. These risks are rare, and proper technique and adherence to best practices significantly reduce them. Soft Thread Lift is a minimally invasive non-surgical treatment and may lead to minor swelling and bruising. If post-treatment care is not followed correctly, it may result in infection and inflammation around the incision site. Moreover, there is a very low incidence of thread breakage after implantation, and this is exceedingly rare.
In what situations is thread lifting not suitable?

Thread lifting is not suitable for individuals in the following situations: Pregnant or breastfeeding. Skin inflammation or infection. Those taking anticoagulant medications such as aspirin. Individuals with facial implants or any permanent fillers. Those prone to hypertrophic scarring or keloids. Q: How long does the entire treatment take? A: A single session of the 3D Non-Surgical Facelift at Oceanaconte Spa & Clinic typically takes 30 to 45 minutes, with the required time varying depending on the areas being treated.

Home Care Advice After the Procedure at Oceanaconte Spa & Clinic

Avoid Touching the Treated Area

On the day of the injection, refrain from touching the treated area and avoid getting it wet. You can resume your regular facial cleansing and skincare routine on the following day.

Expect Minor Redness, Swelling, and Bruising

After the procedure, you may experience mild redness, localized tightness, and, occasionally, bruising. The extent varies from person to person, and the rate of resolution differs.

Avoid Smoking and Alcohol

Refrain from smoking or drinking alcohol for 2-3 days post-procedure.

Avoid Extreme Temperatures

Over the course of two weeks after the procedure, avoid places with extreme temperatures, such as saunas, hot springs, or extremely cold therapies, as these conditions are not favorable for the recovery of injection sites.

Avoid Blood-Thinning Medications

Post-treatment, avoid taking aspirin or similar medications that reduce platelet coagulation function, as these can hinder the recovery of the injection sites.

Don't exfoliate

During the first 7 days after the procedure, refrain from using products with strong exfoliating or peeling ingredients in your facial cleansers or masks.
