‘Do anything to remain young’ is the catchphrase among celebrities these
days. They are known to try myriad body treatments from head to toe, which can
be ranked on a scale from weird to bizarre. But nobody can blame them for this
since the industry demands they remain young eternally. Recently, reality TV
star Kim Kardashian tried a ‘vampire facial’ on her own reality show ‘Kourtney
and Kim Take Miami.’
Accompanied by her best friend, she went through the procedure sportingly.
Right before the procedure began, the cream was applied to her face to reduce
pain. A needle was injected into her arm to extract the platelet-rich plasma
(PRP) from the blood. The extracted blood was injected into her face using nine
small acupuncture needles.
The nurse administering the injection warned that the injection would sting slightly. The injection triggers collagen production, increases tissue growth, and smoothes out wrinkles and fine lines. Once the procedure was over, Kim’s blood-covered face was covered with ice packs to recover. The vampire facelift technique is an updated version of its traditional version. Post the facial, Kim said, ‘I love trying anything that makes you look and feel youthful.’
An Oculoplastic surgeon says that ‘you see an immediate difference with a slight decrease initially in the next four days or so, then over three to four weeks you see the full plumping results; as the body’s platelets and growth factors stimulate the production of collagen and improve the volume and texture of the skin.’
Over a period of time, the face could gain a volume of nearly 10-15 per cent, which could last for a couple of years. It takes eight weeks to observe post-facial results. The procedure not only brings a glow but also clears pores and blemishes. The result is healthier-looking skin. As compared to its other counterparts Juvederm and Restylane, this technique does not involve any surgery.
The controversial procedure became a hit with Hollywood stars after the Hollywood blockbuster Twilight. The vampire facelift procedure costs about $1,000. An esthetician says that after botox, this is the next upcoming and most common beauty treatment in Hollywood. Nominees and presenters at this year’s Oscars got $5,000 gift vouchers for a vampire facelift.
