If you haven’t heard about “vampire facials,” also known as “vampire facelifts” or platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy, then you’ve come to the right place. All the rage, these skin treatments are a great way to naturally rejuvenate your skin without fillers or collagen supplements. Men, according to this article from Allure, it’s a trend among your kind, too!
Vampire facials utilize your own blood for repair, which sounds gory but was quite painless for me. The treatment’s main objective is to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles while boosting skin with collagen and elastin. While not FDA-approved, vampire facials are generally safe so long as equipment is properly sterilized and you choose a board-certified professional.
Collagen supplements, on the other hand–which come in powders, creams and other forms–I’ve been more reluctant to try. There have been too many product recalls involving contaminants that cause mad cow disease and arsenic poisoning, and scientific data is not out yet on collagen powders. With much research, that’s how I discovered the vampire facial as a safer solution.
