Want to know if it is safe to do PRP (vampire) facial while nursing?

Because PRP utilizes your own plasma, it is very safe to do while you are nursing and a great way to maintain your skin during that time.  As long as you don't  use any Retin A or bleaching products on your skin till after you are done nursing, you should do just fine wt this terrific procedure.

Hello and thank you for your question. The Vampire Facelift uses your own, autologous blood derivate, which is injected back into your body. There is no risk associated with the use of this procedure in nursing mothers.

Yes, you can have a vampire facial while nursing. I find that a vampire facial is great for rejuvenation but needs to be combined with lasers, fillers, or skin tightening to get the ultimate outcomes. See an expert for a formal evaluation. Best, Dr. Emer.

Vampire Facelift utilizes PRP which is derived from your own blood and reinjected into your face. No other substance is introduced into your face.Hence there is no reason why you can't get the vampire facelift while nursing.

In general we do not recommend cosmetic or elective procedures to be done during pregnancy or breast feeding because there have not been studies on its safety. However PRP is very safe and is done with your own tissues.

Since PRP is your own tissue, there should not be contraindication for the treatment while nursing. 

There is no medical reason not to get a Vampire facial while nursing or pregnant.  There is no filler used during this procedure only microneedling to create the tiny channels for absorption of your plasma.  Numbing cream is applied usually for comfort.

Hi Hope and thanks for the question.  Vampire Facials are okay to have while breast feeding although you should request that no numbing cream be used.  There are a lot of different types of numbing creams that are used and any chemical that that you're absorbing thru your skin has the possibility of getting passed on to your infant thru your breast milk.  I recommend checking with your medical professional to make sure that they have experience with the procedure.  

Thank you for your question. There is no problem with having a Vampire Facial (micro-needling plus PRP). No foreign substances are being injected into your body as the PRP is a combination of your own plasma and platelets isolated from whole blood drawn from your arm.I hope this was helpful - Dr. Moore.

Hi hope2012, The numbing cream with Lidocaine has been shown to be safe during breastfeeding. However, if the baby shows allergic reactions you need to seek medical help. With vampire facials, there is nothing exogenous (apart from the numbing agent) used since it is just your blood being processed and spread on your face.All the best,Justin Harper, M.D.
