Best Vampire Facials near me in Pretoria

A vampire facial, or Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy, involves having blood drawn from your arm, separating the plasma containing platelets from the red blood cells, and then microneedling the plasma into the skin on your face. It's seen as a great way to rejuvenate skin, reduce fine lines, and improve complexion.

During a vampire facial, a medical professional draws your blood and uses a medical centrifuge to separate plasma containing platelets from the rest of your blood. This platelet-rich plasma is then either injected back into specific areas of your face, or applied topically and driven into the skin using a microneedling device.

When performed by trained professionals in a hygienic environment, vampire facials are generally safe. But as with any treatment involving injections, there are risks of infection, allergic reactions, and scarring. Reduce these risks by getting your vampire facial with a credible, experienced practitioner.

In Pretoria, expect to spend anywhere from ZAR 3,000 to ZAR 3,000 on a vampire facial, with an average cost of ZAR 3,000. Check with your practitioner for their exact pricing, and see if they offer package deals for multiple sessions.

Vampire facials come with long term benefits (including improved skin texture, reduced scarring, and even skin tones) that typically last between one to two years, depending on your skin type and lifestyle. Your practitioner may recommend annual or biannual treatments to maintain your results.

Side effects of a vampire facial may include temporary redness, swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort where you receive your injection. More serious side effects are very rare, but can include infection, skin discoloration, or allergic reactions to the solution used. Consult with your practitioner before your treatment to make sure your skin type is well-suited for a vampire facial.
