The “Vampire Facelift” is a procedure that involves withdrawing a patient’s own blood, processing it to create “platelet-rich plasma (PRP)” then re-injecting it to erase wrinkles and create a more youthful look.
Why is a vampire facelift done?
A vampire facelift is an alternative treatment to a surgical facelift. Platelet-rich plasma claims to:
- Drive production of new skin cells.
- Encourage the growth of collagen (a protein that provides structure to your skin).
- Increase elastin (a protein that allows tissue to stretch).
A PRP facelift may help:
- Brighten your skin.
- Contour your face.
- Improve the texture of your skin.
- Reduce the appearance of wrinkles.
- Make your skin look plumper.
- Reduce acne scars.
