A Vampire Face Lift® uses an hyaluronic acid dermal filler (Juvaderm®) as a scaffolding, which is then polished off with Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP). The treatment provides both instant gratification—the fillers immediately add volume and will improve the face’s shape and contour, smooth lines, and wrinkles, and soften creases. By adding the PRP at the end the patients gain a longer-term improvement in skin tone and texture over the next two to three months, from the growth factors in PRP, which stimulate the production of collagen and fibrin to thicken the skin giving a more youthful appearance. The formation of new blood vessel gives the skin a beautiful glow.

• Rounder and fuller appearance to the cheeks

The Vampire Facial® procedure takes approximately 60 minutes.

No! A very strong topical anesthetic is used to numb the skin of the skin prior to the procedure. This allows for a painless procedure.

There is no downtime. Your face will be red for 24 hours. You can return to work andnormal physical activity immediately following the procedure.

Side effects are minimal to none, other than minor bleeding, occasional bruising.  Some doctors use PRP exclusively in the notoriously tricky under-eye area, to avoid the clumping that injectable fillers often create. In a recent study, researchers noted that “PRP injections in the lower-eyelid region are a safe, efficient, virtually pain-free, simple, and rapid treatment option for an area with otherwise limited treatment alternatives.

The benefits of a Vampire Facelift® can last a year or more, but because everyone’s body metabolizes fillers differently, your results may fade sooner. We recommend monthly PRP injections for two additional months after the first treatment. After a series of treatments, the results may last 18 months or more depending on aging, sun exposure, and genetics. Maintenance treatments every six months after that point can enhance new collagen formation.
