The Dracula Therapy

Dubbed the 'Dracula Therapy',the Stimulated Self Serum Skin therapy (aka S3 Therapy) is the hottest news in anti-aging right today.  It was introduced by the innovative London-based French cosmetic doctor, Daniel Sister.

The S3 therapy involves having your face injected with your own blood. The blood is then separated into the red blood cells, the clear serum and the platelets. Then, after vitamins and amino acids have been added, the enriched serum is injected back into your face.

This, according Dr Sister, stimulates DNA repair, heals scars and makes dry, wizened, wrinkled and lacklustre skin look and feel younger naturally, without the need for synthetic fillers or harsh and painful lasers or peels.

The procedure may sound weird, but surprisingly, the idea come from another respectable medical procedure.  For more than two decades, dentists have used patient's own serum to make receding gums regenerate themselves.  And in the U.S., several studies indicate that injecting platelet-rich plasma into sports injuries can lead to faster recovery.

The secret? The serum is rich in growth factors, natural proteins that can supercharge healing and reverse damage in the body.

Dr Sister says: 'I thought, if serum therapy was good enough for bones and soft tissue like gums, then it could do even better in the skin.'

He decided to combine platelet-rich plasma therapy, which involves deep injections into damaged soft tissue, with the traditional French beauty treatment, mesotherapy, which involves dozens of tiny injections of vitamins and minerals into the superficial layers of the skin.

S3 Therapy starts with the drawing of the blood from the patient's arm - four vials of it - which are put in a centrifuge to separate out the red cells. The doctor then siphons off the yellowish clear liquid at the top and mixes it with vitamins and proteins. The plasma is then injected to the patients' face, from the hairline to the jawline.

Does the procedure hurt? According to a patient, it does quite a bit. The same patient reports that her face did not bleed, but there was a little mild redness. According to her, there were deeper injections around the eyes, forehead, from nose to mouth, and between the eyebrows, but they barely hurt.

The treatment finishes with a nice lie-down under red and blue therapeutic lights, which are good at healing skin and destroying bacteria, including the bacteria that cause acne. The skin shoud look fine the next day. 
The real changes to the skin will be noticeable over the next few weeks as the magical growth factors turn back the clock.
