Women are desperate we’ll do anything to look younger Dr. Amiya Prasad a cosmetic surgeon on the Upper East Side explains the procedure and says women in New York are lining up to get it

Dr. Prasad: It’s actually combining two medical procedures one is called micro needling now the vampire part the part where involves blood has to do with drawing your own blood and spinning it and getting a part of the blood called platelet-rich plasma and now platelet-rich plasma is the part of the blood that’s involved in healing so what we’re doing is we’re manipulating the healing factors of the blood to stimulate your own body’s collagen and blood supply

Dr. Prasad: the typical candidate is a woman usually in their mid to late 30s and were older and it’s because around that time you start noticing some dullness to the skin the cell turnover isn’t there as it once was genetics starts to kick in some fine lines start to form environmental sun exposure and other factors start to age the skin

Narrator: Dr. Prasad says the procedure takes no more than an hour

Dr. Prasad: Essentially when they go back home to their families their relatives at workplace people say to them why their skin glowing and as cliched as that sounds it actually does glow so it’s but that’s why it’s become so popular

Woman: no pain no pain no pain no gain I would say no baby
