I'm no stranger to face work & love to tell people all about it.
I'm 45 & started with Botox when I was 32 as a preventative.
I recently went to an informational night at 344 Beauty Bar & learned about their Vampire Facial. I was impressed that the girls who work there didn't try to sell me on the facial special and, in fact, told me I had great skin. I do have large pores and read that this procedure can help with that. I bought a series of three and will space them out six weeks apart.
When I went in today I was given a numbing cream and then the nurse pulled my blood. The blood was taken and spun to remove the plasma for the procedure. She used a microneedling pen and spread the plasma on my face as she went. If you've ever had the procedure done it's not horrific but it certainly is no massage.
Afterwords my face felt a little tight and like I had a sunburn. She told me my face will be red for the next few days and it would take up to a month or two for the collagen to build.
This evening I washed my face with coconut oil like I always do and took the remaining plasma she sent me home with to use as a moisturizer.
My hopes for this procedure are to reduce the signs of my large pores and overall even out my skin tone and hopefully provide a little tightening. I'll keep updating as I finish the series.

First day after 11/5
I woke up looking like I had a sunburn & headed off to the gym. I thought it looked pretty pink but no one said anything. I also went out at night & put on makeup. No one could tell. My face felt a bit tight but otherwise no other problems.

You look fantastic. I've had all kinds of fillers, vampire lift, microneedling. I have no problem letting anyone know, either. It's just maintenance. Plus...Discounts for referrals

Yes! Maintenance! I haven't received any discounts but I do wait for specials!

I just had my first Microneedling with PRP today. I joined a nice med spa by me and got some Juvederm and Botox last month. I am a little late to the game, first time doing fillers since they are pricey. The vampire facial didnt hurt much with the numbing cream. I am supposed to leave my stuff on until the morning. Nurse took before pics and I will post healing and results in about 2 to 3 weeks. I'm excited! I will be doing another in a month!

Day 2 11/6
Still look like I spent too much time in the sun. Feels a little tight when I smile. No other issues. I've been taken Arnica and Bromelian since the procedure.

Hi there, I'm thinking about getting this treatment done too. Did you see any result eventually? Many thanks

I'm 3 days out so I don't expect a huge change yet. I was told that the skin could take up to 2 months to show full results since the underlying trauma builds collagen. I'm getting my 2nd treatment in 5-6 weeks. I'm doing a series of 3 that are about 6 weeks apart.

Great - thanks, I will follow your progress - wishing you all the best with your outcome from this treatment : )

I plan to use not just on face & neck but scalp (for hair loss) and going to try on other body parts (back of hands etc. & scars from breast reduction/lift)
I make all my own serums & bath/body products from organic pure sources.
