We are seeing a rise in new and exciting methods for preserving youth and staying current. A controversial method of facial cleansing is one of the most exciting – and dangerous – ways to maintain ‘healthy skin’.
Sometimes we try to go the extra mile to look our best. This includes a face-washing ritual that is obtrusive. We’ll see what this beauty trend is and why you should avoid it.
What is a Vampire Facial?
The benefits of facials to your skin are well-known. People around the globe turn to facials for their skin to look cleaner and more youthful. They unclog pores, remove dead skin cells and help remove impurities. Some cleaning methods can be more intrusive and abrasive, and are not as effective in promoting a youthful and healthy appearance.
The vampire facial involves extracting some of your blood, separating the plasma from your blood and injecting the plasma into your skin. Plasma is a liquid component of blood which makes up about 55% of the blood platelets. Plasma is taken out of your blood and then reintegrated back into the body to give you an ‘older look’.
It may sound crazy and scary – which it is. What is more alarming, however, is how popular and common this facial is when people are trying to look younger. In recent years, Botox and fillers have become popular, particularly in Los Angeles and Beverly Hills. The world is reminded constantly that people are willing to do anything and everything to maintain youth.
People are willing to take more drastic measures, such as Botox and surgery, to maintain their youthful appearance. Like everything else, people are always looking for the latest and greatest trends. People want the fastest and best results.
Vampire facials are the latest trend, but they can be harmful to your skin and health. This is not only potentially harmful and ineffective, but has also been shown to increase HIV transmission rates due to the use and transfusion of blood and needles. These facials use blood and needles. The rate of HIV transmission has increased from both the client and the employee performing the facials.
A certified plastic surgeon can give you a vampire face-lift, which will reduce your HIV risk. If you choose to use a back door clinic in order to save time and money, you could be at risk of contracting a potentially deadly bloodborne disease due to the improper handling of needles and your blood.
Is vampire facials safe to use?
No. Vampire facials are only possible by professionals who have spent hours practicing. But, mistakes do happen. Untrained professionals who claim to be experts in vampire facials may lie.
In 2018, a study was conducted that shows the risks of vampire facials. Two cases of HIV transmission after this type facial treatment were documented. The correlation between this beauty procedure and HIV contamination from injections was then traced. If the needles used for the vampire facial are not sterilized, and the recipient has HIV, the risk of transmitting bloodborne diseases increases.
Other spa guests who were interested in vampire facials, however, were ‘urged to’ get HIV tested. However this was not compulsory or mandatory for those who desired the vampire facial. If you choose the right spa, you can enjoy a vampire facial without any risks. However, if not, you could be in for a very dangerous experience.
Who can perform vampire facials?
You may have many options to choose from when you decide to get a vampiric facial. However, that does not mean all of them are the best. If you choose the quickest and cheapest method, it is likely that the provider of the facial is not certified. When choosing a professional to perform your facial, choose someone who is board-certified, qualified, has experience performing this type of treatment, and knows how to use the appropriate sterilization methods, protective equipment and pavers.
Be careful about picking the losers’ option. It is safer to have one done by a dermatologist or plastic surgeon who has experience with skin, blood and body fluids.
What is a vampire face?
The most important question about vampire facials, and the risks associated with them, is whether they work. The vampire facial is a popular treatment in local spas and dermatologists’ offices, but it may not be effective enough to justify the risks.
The research on whether a vampire facial is worth the HIV risk is not significant and is inadequate. The effectiveness of this treatment has been studied, but the results have been minimal. This type facial does not work for people who want to look younger.
The conclusion of the article is:
Many people do not consider a vampire facial worth the money when weighing its pros and cons. It may be harmful to pay for this treatment in a spa or dermatologist office, as you could contract HIV if you misuse blood or needles. It is important that anyone interested in a facial like this do their research to find a professional who has been certified and knows how to perform the procedure safely.
