Microneedling….or no thank you?

Ok, so I came across this new beauty craze….mirconeedling, aka the Vampire Facial. Do you all know about this?

I was so curious to see what this was all about so I decided to go onto good ole’ YouTube. I watched a vlogger thoroughly go through the process of doing it by herself in her own home. (You can prob get this done at a spa too but I’m pretty sure it would be a good chunk of change). Apparently, it takes seven days in total to see the results. This facial promises to ‘treat and improve wrinkles, fine lines, large pores, and dark spots’…..just to name a few. Sounds like every women’s dream facial, amiright? Especially if you are experiencing any of these issues?

Watching this vlogger, around the seventh day, I was enthralled at how amazing her face looked.  She posted each day to show her viewers what her face was experiencing….redness, peeling, etc.  for the first couple of days and then whole new skin and face for that matter on that glorious seventh day. I’m not gonna lie. She legit looked FABULOUS. (Personally, I think her skin was pretty amazing before she did this IMO). Her skin literally shined and glowed…to the ultimate highest power. For real. But watching her perform her home microneedling adventure was downright scary, not to mention painful looking.  The key is to constantly use an aloe vera plant to ease any of the pain through the process. Which makes sense because your skin is ‘raw’ and exposed. You will bleed….A LOT. I think this is what was a little unnerving to me. Her forehead was a bloody mess while she continued on to her cheeks and chin, all while speaking in a calm demeanor to her audience. I have to say, I give her a LOT of credit and she def has way more guts then I do. To say I’m a scaredy cat is an understatement when it comes to blood. So, although her face looked amazing,  I think I’ll hold off on doing this facial for the time being. Major props to this brave and beautiful vlogger for giving us an in depth look into this daring facial. Who knows? I might want to try it with all the incredible results people are getting with it. What about you? Have you tried this new facial? And if so, how did you feel about it?
