Frequently Asked Questions

Can I wear makeup before my Vampire Facial?

No, it’s best to arrive at your appointment with a clean, makeup-free face to reduce the risk of irritation and contamination.
Avoid direct sun exposure, tanning, and harsh skincare products. Discontinue the use of retinol and Vitamin A products, and avoid blood-thinning medications and supplements.
Immediately after the procedure, you might experience redness and minor swelling, similar to a mild sunburn. These effects typically subside within 24-48 hours.
Avoid strenuous exercise for 24 to 48 hours post-treatment to prevent irritation and swelling.
Discontinue retinoid use at least one week before your Vampire Facial to prevent skin sensitivity.
Your skin will continue to improve over the next few weeks as collagen production increases, with the full results visible after a month.
