What causes hyperpigmentation and acne scars?

Acne scars and hyperpigmentation (dark spots) can be caused by a variety of factors. For acne scars, the underlying cause is inflammation from severe acne breakouts. People may experience acne scars as small holes or pits, raised and bumpy skin, or discoloration.

Hyperpigmentation, on the other hand, is the result of an overproduction of melanin. The excess melanin can be triggered by sun exposure, hormonal changes, or even certain medications. The areas may seem darker than the surrounding skin and can be difficult to conceal with makeup. Fortunately, a Vampire Facial may be able to help with both issues at the same time.

What does a Vampire Facial do?

So, what does a Vampire Facial do? Despite the spooky name, this facial is anything but frightening. It combines PRP and microneedling to help produce a refreshed and rejuvenated complexion. Platelet-rich plasma is taken from your blood and contains growth factors that encourage tissue repair, while microneedling creates tiny punctures to trigger natural healing and collagen production. More people are turning to the Vampire Facial for acne scar removal and hyperpigmentation treatment because it's a natural, minimally invasive solution.
