What if we told you that the solution to all your skin-ageing problems lies in your own blood? Sounds unreal, right? Let us tell you about Vampire Facelift then.
Vampire Facelift is a cosmetic procedure, non-invasive, again, which uses plasma from your own blood to give you a firmer, more elastic and wrinkle-free skin. Even though it involves injecting, it is a non-invasive procedure as your own plasma, and nothing foreign, is injected back into your body.
Plasma is a yellow-coloured protein-rich component in the blood, which makes up over 50% of blood. It has a lot of enzymes, hormones, nutrients and salts, which are quite helpful in the formation of collagen and elastin. During a Vampire Facelift procedure, the dermatologist with first draw blood from your arm. This blood is then put in a centrifuge, a machine that separates platelet-rich-plasma (PRP) from rest of the blood.
Before PRP, the dermatologist might inject a filler like hyaluronic acid, to treat areas with deeper wrinkles, lines and creases. After the filler, the plasma extracted from your blood is injected into the target area. While the hyaluronic acid provides immediate results like plumping of the skin, the results of the PRP will start to be visible after 2-3 week. Some dermatologists also provide a combined vampire facelift and vampire facial treatment, which works on reducing sagging and looseness of the skin, as well as reducing acne scars, pigmentation and spots.
