Vampire Facelift
If you want to help rejuvenate your face and provide yourself with a more youthful appearance, the vampire facelift may be the procedure for you. Surgical facelifts are very intrusive and involve removing excess skin, which may be an extreme measure if you just need a bit of a pick-me-up. Instead, this is a nonsurgical facelift we perform right here in Las Vegas using hyaluronic acid fillers. The HA fillers lift the skin away from the tissue beneath to restore its youthful volume and shape.
Face Shape
With a better understanding of what a vampire lift is, allow us to shed some light on the process. When the procedure begins, our doctors will use hyaluronic acid fillers to restore your face to a more natural and youthful appearance. This is less intrusive as there are no incisions made and no skin removed; instead, we’re merely helping your face and skin return to their natural vibrancy.
Isolating Growth Factors
Next, we draw a sample of blood (see why it’s called a vampire facelift?)—about two teaspoons’ worth—and transfer it to a centrifuge to isolate and extract the natural growth factors within it. These factors are platelet-rich plasmas that, when activated, release upward of eight growth agents the body typically uses to heal injured tissue. They’ll increase collagen production and encourage new blood flow to your refreshed skin. To reintroduce the growth factors into your skin, we’ll use numbing cream and a small needle to ensure the procedure is nearly, if not completely, painless.
Recovery and Maintenance
Because a PRP vampire facelift doesn’t involve incisions, the recovery period is simple—as little as 48 hours are all that’s needed for any swelling, redness, and sensitivity to diminish. This process is natural and will allow the skin to heal on its own; you simply need to take it easy for those two days. For maintenance, you’ll just want to avoid strenuous exercise and sun exposure for about a week, just as a precaution while your skin is recovering and adapting.
