A Warning on Medical Safety

It is important to know that treatments like micro-needling and VAMP are medical procedures, not simple spa services. Having these treatments performed in a non-medical setting can be extremely dangerous. To protect your health, you should never receive cosmetic injections or medical skin treatments at a:  

• Non-medical spa.  

• Salon.  

• Party or someone's home.  

  
  

Serious side effects are far more likely when the person performing the treatment lacks adequate medical training.  

What is Micro-Needling?

Micro-needling, or collagen induction therapy, uses a specialized device to create controlled micro-injuries that stimulate the body's natural healing process. This encourages the production of collagen and elastin to improve skin texture and tone.

Introducing the VAMP (Vampire) Treatment

The VAMP treatment uses Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy to enhance rejuvenation. During this procedure, a small amount of your own blood is processed to extract concentrated growth factors, which are then applied to the skin during the micro-needling process to accelerate tissue repair.

What to Expect During and After Treatment

The procedure is tailored to your medical history and the specific area being treated.  

• Duration: Most treatments take between 15 and 30 minutes.  

• Sensation: You may feel a temporary stinging or burning sensation during the process.  

• Downtime: While most patients return to everyday activities immediately, some temporary swelling or bruising can occur.  

• Post-Care: You should stay out of the sun, avoid tanning beds, and wait until the next day to perform strenuous exercise.
