What is a Vampire Facelift?
A vampire facelift, alternatively referred to as a platelet-rich plasma facelift cosmetic procedure. The procedure involves the use of the patients own blood to rejuvenate the facial skin. This method produces remarkable, virtually painless effects that will leave your skin radiant. A Vampire facelift is a non-invasive procedure that harnesses the patient’s blood to erase dark marks and acne scars. It also clears fine lines, wrinkles, and rejuvenates dull skin while improving hyperpigmentation.
How is it performed?
After drawing blood from your arm, it undergoes centrifugation. During this process, it’s spun at a specific speed and time, separating platelets from other blood components.. Platelet-rich plasma(PRP) is derived and injected into the skin of the face under topical anesthesia. After a vampire facelift, downtime is minimal. Rapid smoothing occurs, and skin texture improves in 2-3 weeks. Results improve over time, like fine wine. This non-invasive process employs advanced systems to obtain growth factors in PRP. These factors stimulate skin regeneration, restoring volume and glow to the skin and giving the skin a youthful look.
How many sessions does one need?
Younger individuals with fewer acne scars may require fewer sessions. However, for deeper acne scars, fine lines, wrinkles, or hyperpigmentation, you may need several treatments. There is no one-size-fits-all solution, but the more treatments you receive, the more obvious the cumulative results will be. Don’t worry, your medical professional will determine how many treatments you’ll need during your consultation.
How does it work?
The critical step is activating platelets to release growth factors, achieved naturally in the body. When the skin heals itself, such as from a cut, a yellow substance is formed behind the scab as part of the repair and renewal process. This substance acts as our own natural PRP, holding all of the growth factors in place before activating adjacent stem cells to mend and regenerate new skin to heal the injury. When we inject PRP into the facial skin, it follows the same process of activating collagen and skin-multiplying cells resulting in the information of new youthful-looking skin. This technique merely takes the process of aesthetic rejuvenation to the next level.
