Vampire FACELIFT®
Patented method of both restoring shape, and improving tone and texture for dramatic rejuvenation!
Here’s how it’s done…
3 Steps of the Vampire Facelift® Procedure:
First, the injector (1) uses HA fillers to create a beautiful shape. (2) Next, the practitioner isolates growth factors from the patient’s blood. (3) These growth factors are injected in the face, then multi-potent stem cells become activated to grow new tissue. This new tissue includes new collagen, new fatty tissue (for smoothness), and new blood vessels (for a healthy glow).

HOW DOES PRP WORK?
Platelet transfusions have long been used as part of reconstructive surgery, but the Vampire FaceLift® is a breakthrough in cosmetic treatment options. Using your own blood, a technique that has been used in medicine for a long time, can provide dramatic improvements in the skin’s appearance, even better than those offered by dermal fillers alone. This is a proven technique that results in the reduction of dark circles under the eyes and fine lines around the mouth, smooths and contours the face, and brightens the skin.
HOW IS THE VAMPIRE FACELIFT® PERFORMED?
The procedure begins with taking a blood sample from your arm. This blood sample will then be filtered through a PRP centrifuge that is used to separate the platelets from the blood. The platelets are responsible for making clots, healing wounds and bruises, stimulating stem cell activity, and growing new tissue. After the skin is cleansed with alcohol, the hyaluronic acid filler is injected into the skin to provide scaffolding and reshape the face. Then, the activated PRP is injected to stimulate stem cell activity. The Vampire FaceLift® is non-invasive, using tiny injections similar to those used in Botox.
