A vampire facial? 🧛‍♀️ Don’t let the name scare yo

A vampire facial? 🧛‍♀️ Don’t let the name scare you. 👻

This Halloween, we’re breaking down the science behind one of dermatology’s most talked-about regenerative skin treatments: Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP).

Unlike its spooky nickname, a vampire facial is rooted in your body’s own biology.

🩸 Here’s how it works:

A small sample of your blood is processed to concentrate the platelets, creating PRP, which contains naturally occurring growth factors.

When paired with microneedling, PRP is used to support the skin’s natural repair processes and collagen remodeling, helping address concerns such as uneven texture, fine lines, and overall skin quality.

PRP can also be used in targeted areas as part of a personalized rejuvenation plan.

At The Derm Institute, Dr. Annie Chiu takes a physician-led approach to regenerative aesthetics, selecting treatments based on your individual skin needs rather than trends.

Because the best skin rejuvenation isn’t about changing your face. It’s about improving the quality of your skin. ✨

Would you try a vampire facial, or is the name enough to scare you away? 👀

📍 Redondo Beach, serving Manhattan Beach, Hermosa Beach, Palos Verdes & the greater Los Angeles area.

Ghost your ex, NOT your skincare routine. 👻💅 Cons

Ghost your ex, NOT your skincare routine. 👻💅

Consider this your Halloween reminder that consistency is the real secret to great skin.

While skincare trends come and go, a dermatologist-recommended skincare routine tailored to your skin’s needs is what helps support long-term skin health.

Think daily SPF, targeted active ingredients, barrier support, and professional guidance when your skin needs a little extra attention.

What’s one skincare step you’ll NEVER ghost? 👇

Your skin deserves more than a temporary glow. ✨

Your skin deserves more than a temporary glow. ✨

Smoother texture, fewer visible fine lines, and a healthier-looking complexion all start with prioritizing skin quality.

At The Derm Institute, we believe great aesthetic results aren’t just about restoring structure or addressing volume loss. They’re also about improving the skin itself.

Because when skin quality is part of your long-term treatment plan, every other result looks that much better.

Dr. Chiu’s idea of roughing it? A skincare routine at 35,000 feet. ✈️

Hydration, LED therapy and a little in-flight self-care. Because your skin doesn’t take a vacation just because you do.

Camping? We’ll pass. 😂

Weight loss doesn’t always mean fat loss in the ar

Weight loss doesn’t always mean fat loss in the areas you want.

Even with consistent nutrition and exercise, certain areas of localized fat can remain resistant to change. Genetics, anatomy, and individual fat distribution all play a role.

At The Derm Institute, Dr. Chiu takes a more precise approach to facial contouring, assessing the underlying anatomy to determine where targeted treatments, such as Kybella, may help refine definition and restore facial harmony.

The goal isn’t to change your features, but to enhance their natural structure through thoughtful, individualized treatment.

Because sometimes, the most refined results come from addressing what diet and exercise cannot.

Can Emsculpt replace your ab workout? Dr. Chiu explains why the answer is no…

While Emsculpt can help strengthen and condition the abdominal muscles, it’s designed to complement your fitness routine, not replace it. 💪

At The Derm Institute, we believe the best results come from combining advanced technology with consistent, healthy habits. Think of it as an addition to your routine, not a shortcut.

The scariest things you’ll see at a dermatologist’s office this Halloween. 👻

Forget ghosts and jump scares. We’re talking sleeping in makeup, picking at breakouts, DIY microneedling, and a few other things that give Dr. Chiu nightmares. 💀

Which one is your biggest skincare horror story?

Everyone’s talking about looksmaxxing, but what about BODY-maxxing…?

✨ Traptox – Relaxing the trapezius muscles for a softer-looking shoulder line.
✨ Emsculpt – Building muscle and improving muscle tone.
✨ CoolSculpting – Targeting stubborn pockets of fat with non-invasive cooling technology.
✨ Kybella – Addressing small, localised areas of unwanted fat.

Diet and exercise can do a lot. But they can’t always do everything.

Filler isn’t outdated. Obvious filler is.

The difference? Anatomy, technique, and knowing exactly where (and where NOT) to add volume.

Strategically placed dermal filler can restore facial balance, soften shadows, and support natural contours without changing what makes you look like you.
