‘Vampire Facelift’

(Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy), works on the basis that the body’s own natural healing powers may slow and even reverse the ageing process.

It’s a revolutionary repair system that places growth factors in the exact location where we want the skin to repair and rejuvenate itself. The treatment involves harvesting platelets from the patient’s own blood in order to inject them into problem skin areas, starting with the extraction of a minimal amount of the patient’s blood. This is then placed in a centrifuge to spin down the blood which separates the red blood cells from the platelet rich plasma. Platelets contain a high content of “growth factors” – proteins that help to heal injured tissue or damaged skin. Upon re-injection the platelets release their growth factors which trigger surrounding cells to proliferate, in turn stimulating repair, increasing volume and rejuvenating the skin.

Useful Information:

  • Vampire facelift is a cosmetic treatment that involves using the patient's own blood to rejuvenate the skin and enhance its appearance.
  • The procedure starts with drawing a small amount of blood from the patient's arm, which is then processed to extract platelet-rich plasma (PRP).
  • The PRP is then injected into various parts of the face using a fine needle or cannula, which helps to stimulate collagen production and promote the growth of new cells.
  • The treatment also involves injecting a hyaluronic acid-based filler into areas of the face that need more volume or definition.
  • The combination of PRP and filler helps to improve the texture, tone, and overall appearance of the skin, reducing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and other signs of ageing.
  • The procedure is typically done under local anaesthesia and takes around 30-60 minutes to complete.
  • Results are typically visible immediately after the treatment but may take a few days to fully settle into their final shape and size.
  • you need to have 1 treatment monthly for 3 months for best results and then once yearly for maintenance
  • Side effects may include swelling, bruising, redness, and tenderness at the injection site, but these are usually mild and temporary.
