Love them or hate them, one thing we can agree on is that the Kardashians have really good skin. Kim and Kourtney swear by the virtues of the Vampire Facial (aka Microneedling with PRP) for flawless skin.
Microneedling is a non-invasive procedure that reduces the signs of aging, minimizes scarring, boosts collagen production, reduces hyperpigmentation and pore size, prevents premature aging, treats stretch marks, minimizes the appearance of age spots, helps improve texture and improves the appearance of rosacea.
Combining micro-needling with the body’s own PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma derived from your own blood) is used to kick-start the healing process. The rejuvenation action that is started by the micro-channels is dramatically enhanced by the growth factors contained in the PRP.
My best friend Sarah Howard recently got a vampire facial and documented her experience. I love that she tells it like it is! Scroll down to hear about her treatment and check out her website, Beauty Banter, for beauty news and the best products!
The PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) facial, also commonly referred to as the blood facial or the vampire facial, is the thing that complexion dreams are made of… read the rest of the blog here.
Bruno|Brown Plastic Surgery provides top-rated plastic surgery in the DC Metro area with award-winning plastic surgeons, Drs. Bruno and Brown.
With the increasing demand for plastic surgery, there has also been an increase in doctors, dentists and cosmetic surgeons entering the field of plastic surgery despite lacking the experience of top-rated plastic surgeons. We hope this article will help you choose.
Many believe that due to the rapid rise in demand, regulations haven’t caught up to industry practices. After all, there are extremely strict standards for surgeons
performing procedures such as joint replacement, yet there is virtually no oversight when it comes to cosmetic surgical procedures.
Questions are being raised about whether these procedures are properly supervised, as plastic surgeons are being called on to fix others’ shoddy work. There are countless examples of practitioners performing outside of their areas of expertise resulting in botched plastic surgeries and medical emergencies. You can read more about this subject here.
One Illinois woman, a mother of six, died after a complication arose during her surgery that her doctor was not prepared to handle. Prior to this incident, two of this doctor’s previous patients had been hospitalized with life threatening circumstances following their surgeries.
Some doctors, nurses or cosmetic surgeons will perform procedures at unlicensed facilities or spas- like the European Tanning Club in Michigan- where there have even been reports of lip injections resulting in extreme medical emergencies.
Not only are the practitioners who perform these procedures ill-equipped to handle emergencies, but patients who experience a botched or poorly performed surgery will face additional costs and additional surgical procedures. This points to the importance of finding a board certified top-rated DC plastic surgeon for your upcoming procedure.
Drs. Bruno and Brown are both top-rated DC plastic surgeons and are certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. Additionally, both are members of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, as well as the National Capital Society of Plastic Surgeons, among other certifications, memberships and awards.

What is Smartlipo?It is the process of removing excess, unwanted pockets of fat on the body through careful, targeted suction. Smartlipo DC differs from the process of regular liposuction performed by DC plastic surgeons, Drs. Bruno and Brown, because a laser is used to assist in the process.
Recovery time with Smartlipo DC is significantly less than with traditional liposuction. The Smartlipo procedure performed by top plastic surgeons, Drs. Bruno and Brown, also frequently results in less swelling or bruising around the treated area. Smartlipo is considered less invasive than traditional liposuction- especially because it leaves smaller incisions.
Like traditional liposuction, Smartlipo uses a small tube inserted just below the skin. However, with Smartlipo, there is also a small laser fiber inside the tube, which targets fat cells directly and allows the surrounding tissue to tighten more quickly. Smartlipo literally melts away fat, and it eliminates sagginess much faster than traditional liposuction, though the two procedures can be used in conjunction if necessary.
The overall procedure typically only lasts 1-3 hours depending on the size of the area treated, and because it is a minimally invasive procedure it can be performed by Drs. Bruno and Brown under local anesthesia. While many patients are able to return to normal activity within a few days, you may need to wear a compression garment to support the treated area.
