Can Vampire Facial Cause HIV? – PRP Treatment, Mumbai

Platelet-Rich Plasma PRP treatment is commonly known as the “Vampire Facial.” It has become more popular in cosmetic dermatology for multitude of skin benefits. “Recent cases in New Mexico have highlighted the risks of PRP treatments such as the spread of HIV. This incident shows the lack of safety measures at spas and beauty clinics that offer such treatments without a medical liscence”, says Dr Niketa Sonavane, leading dermatologist in Mumbai. In this article we aim to equip you with the facts of why this incident occured. Besides this we will also discuss how you can be vigilant and ensure your own safety while undergoing PRP treatment in Mumbai.

Why did people in New Mexico get HIV from Vampire facial PRP treatment?

1. PRP treatment is a medical procedure which only a dermatologist or plastic surgeon should conduct. But in New Mexico, it was offered without medical doctors at an unliscensed spa.
2. The transmission of HIV in these cases occurred due to unsterile and shared needles and syringes.
3. Improper handling or contamination of blood products occured during the PRP preparation process.

What you can do to ensure your own safety during PRP Treatments?

1. Research Clinics

Before undergoing PRP therapy, research clinics thoroughly. Choose reputable medical establishments with experienced dermatologists and positive reviews.

Stay away from spas and beauty clinics that offer such treatments without a medical liscense.

2. Check Credentials

Verify the credentials of the dermatologist performing the procedure. Ensure they are board certified and experienced in PRP treatments.

Stay away from estheticians, beauticians, and non-medical persons offering such Vampire facials in Mumbai.

3. Ask Questions

Don’t hesitate to ask about the procedure. Ask about safety, sterilization, and training. A knowledgeable and transparent provider will address any concerns.

Stay away if the providers are reluctant to answer your questions or give vague answers.

4. Observe Hygiene Practices

Pay attention to hygiene practices during the procedure. Ensure that the treatment area is clean, and the dermatologist and staff follow proper hand hygiene and wear gloves.

Stay away if you notice unclean, unhygenic environment and equippment.
