A vampire facelift, sometimes called a platelet-rich plasma facelift, is a cosmetic procedure that uses the patient’s blood to potentially fight the signs of aging.
After blood is drawn from your arm, the medical professional will separate the platelets from the rest of the blood using a centrifuge a machine that spins quickly to separate fluids of different densities. The platelet-rich plasma (PRP) will be injected along with hyaluronic acid filler.
A vampire facelift is a nonsurgical cosmetic procedure, but it should still be done by a trained medical professional who has the correct equipment and has been certified to perform the procedure.
It’s always a good idea to meet with a doctor beforehand to have them explain what they’ll do during the procedure.
Vampire Facelift Process
The first part of the Vampire Facelift Process utilizes HA fillers to begin sculpting specific areas of the face. Glycosaminoglycans act like a sponge that holds water in the face providing a basic shape. This initial injection of HA is the precursor to the ultimate desired form.
The second step is the polishing and refining step of the sculpting process which ultimately contributes to the appearance of a younger version of patient.
The third and final part of the Process implements the science and mathematics of pure beauty.The challenge becomes how to take a face and bring out that which is beautiful, without creating a shape that appears unnatural.
Extracting the PRP for Vampire Facelift
The vampire facial is made effective with the use of PRP, which is extracted from a blood sample taken before the start of your treatment. Blood is placed into a centrifuge and spun until the platelets are separated from the white and red blood cells.
This high concentration of platelets contain a multitude of growth factors that work specifically to heal the damaged skin cells responsible for your aging features. Additionally, the platelets induce collagen production, which is a natural healing agent that generates new skin cells when stimulated.
Preparation of Bloody To Vampire Facelift
The PRP needs to be re-administered in order for it to enhance your skin, which is commonly done by way of a series of injections to the face. A numbing cream is applied first, and a narrow needle is then used to inject the blood back into your body.
Oftentimes, PRP injections are accompanied by a micro-needling procedure that creates small dermal wounds in the skin.
One of the biggest benefits of a vampire facial is the lack of downtime that’s associated with the procedure. Although you might think that you need to take a few days off with all the blood that’s involved, patient can actually return to normal routine the very next day.
Vampire Facelift Improve Appearance
vampire facial may be combined with hyaluronic acid fillers in order to restore volume to the face and help the skin look more plump.
Dermal fillers such as Restylane or Juvederm can be used to lift the cheeks and smooth away fine line wrinkles, which can improve the effectiveness of the vampire facial once it is initiated.
While a Vampire facelift will improve the overall condition of patient skin by stimulating the body’s own natural healing process, it is especially recommended for patients who want to address the following conditions:
The procedure may:
· reduce wrinkles
· plump skin
· diminish acne scars
· brighten dull skin
Advantages of Vampire Facelift
Platelet-rich plasma is similar to HA fillers because it can be injected to sculpt the face. But, here’s the best part of Vampire Facelift: not only does the PRP cause an increase in the volume, PRP contains at least 8 growth factors that will over a long period of time, continually work like a rejuvenating agent.
Because the growth factors are working to build a new dermis, the epidermis the outer most layers of your skin appears smoother.
- It is a nonsurgical procedure.
- Because it uses your own blood, there is no risk of allergic reaction.
- The skin color becomes a “younger” color because of new blood vessel formation.
- New collagen formations in the dermis lifts the face back to a more youthful shape.
- It is effective for both men and women.
- It can be used in conjunction with other procedures, such as laser treatments.
- PRP can be used with or without added fillers
