What is a vampire face-lift?

The vampire face-lift combines several of the most innovative facial rejuvenation tools available today into one procedure that delivers impressive results. Despite its somewhat ominous name, this is a safe, nonsurgical treatment that requires almost no recovery time.

The process begins by taking a small sampling of your blood. The skin care experts at Zinnia Aesthetics & Anti-Aging Clinic will separate that blood out so they can gather a solution made of your platelets. The platelets from your blood contain growth factors that stimulate healing.

Once those platelets have been separated into a platelet-rich plasma (PRP), your face is prepared with dermal fillers, which plump your face as needed and provide a structure where the PRP can be most effective. The PRP is then injected into your face via microneedling.

While your face will likely be red after your procedure, you can return to your normal daily life as soon as the next day.

What is PRP?

PRP, or platelet-rich plasma, is becoming more common among medical professionals. When concentrated, the growth factors contained by your blood’s platelets are a powerful healing tool. They can be used to treat serious injuries, help regrow hair, and, in the case of the vampire facial, stimulate the growth of new, radiant skin cells.

What is microneedling?

Microneedling is a process that involves pressing a series of very small needles into the surface of your skin. The body reads these tiny pricks as injuries and sends healing agents to the area. This stimulates the production of collagen, a key protein in your body that makes your skin elastic, healthy, and youthful-looking.

Because the vampire face-lift stimulates new, healthy skin cell growth in multiple ways — via PRP and microneedling — it delivers results, unlike any other facial treatment.

Are vampire face-lifts painful?

The team at Zinnia Aesthetics & Anti-Aging Clinic uses a combination of three local anesthetics to ensure that you’re completely comfortable throughout your entire treatment. While you may experience some very minor facial bruising after the treatment, the entire procedure is designed with your comfort in mind.
