Vampire Facial

Vampire Facial Therapy for Face Rejuvenation

The procedure is an injectable system for smoothing skin and restoring lost volume, subtly and naturally. It is a product that stimulates collagen and elastin. Some people refer to it as the “Vampire Facelift” because a small amount of the patient’s blood is taken, and then spun to separate the platelets and plasma from the red and white blood cells. 

By adding a precise amount of calcium chloride, a gel-like matrix is created and injected back into the areas that you want corrected. Kim Kardashian’s on-screen experience of receiving a ‘Vampire Lift’ facial treatment created a stir about this cosmetic procedure.

Planning Your Treatment

As with all treatments at our clinic, we require a preliminary consultation with a member of our highly qualified staff. During this time, we will review your concerns, treatment expectations, current skincare regimen, price estimates, and a brief overview of your relevant medical history. We use this information to ensure we are able to give you the results you are looking for with realistic expectations.

As mentioned, we will take a sample of your blood. We will then seal your blood sample in a container and place it in a centrifuge. The device then spins at high speeds so that the blood sample separates plasma from the red and white blood cells. We then extract the plasma and prepare it for your treatment.

Before the Treatment

Before your PRP treatment, you need to do the following:

• Prior to injection, please notify us if you have a rash or infection near or at the planned injection site as we will need to reschedule your treatment
• Anti-inflammatories and ASA should be avoided in the 7 days prior to treatments
• To minimize post-treatment bruising and bleeding, avoid red wine, Aspirin, Advil, Motrin, and other blood thinners the day before the treatment
• Avoid drinking red wine 2 days before treatment
• Avoid taking the following 1 week before your PRP treatment: Don quai, evening primrose oil, ginkgo leaf, ginger, garlic, ginseng, and feverfew
• Tylenol is OK to use, but please notify us if you are using prescription or non-prescription blood thinners
• Please avoid caffeine the day of your PRP treatment for more comfort

During the Treatment

Dr. Frame or his trained phlebotomy staff will collect one small tube of blood. Next, the sample is placed in a centrifuge where it is spun and the plasma is separated from the rest of the blood. There may be some temporary discomfort during the injections, and occasional redness and bruising immediately following the treatment that resolves quickly. A numbing cream is applied to increase the comfort during your treatment.

After the Treatment

Avoid touching the treated areas for at least 8 hours. Common and temporary side effects may include bruising, swelling, itching and/or discomfort that may last up to 5 days. If you experience pain or discomfort, Tylenol may be used as directed. Ice application should be avoided due to its reduction of inflammation. Additionally, after your treatment, blood thinning substances and direct sun exposure should be avoided for 7 days following the procedure. You should also ensure you are hydrated and maintain a healthy diet.

PRP Therapy Uses Your Blood’s Natural Healing Properties

PRP therapy is a form of regenerative medicine, which takes advantage of the blood’s natural healing properties. The procedure involves extracting and isolating platelets and plasma from a sample of your own blood, and then we concentrate it into a healing solution. It then gets injected back into your body at (and around) the point of injury or pain.

This precious liquid can be injected into the dermis to build collagen and improve the structure of the skin. It penetrates the dermis and increases the efficacy of the treatment. 

When the growth factors interact with local cells, they trigger the cells to heal the injury. This promotes tissue formation and reduces inflammation. The PRP treatment may also provide a lubricating factor and is  used in a wide variety of medical specialties. Today PRP helps patients heal faster and avoid more radical or invasive treatments.

Full treatment includes 3 sessions, 4-6 weeks apart.

Maintenance should be done every 12 months.

The number of treatments needed depends on each individual patient and the desired outcome. As a stand-alone therapy, Dr. Gidon Frame recommends a series of three injection sessions spaced from four to six weeks apart for optimal results. A yearly follow-up treatment is also recommended to maintain your results.

How Much Does PRP cost?

The cost of a Vampire Facial starts at $800.

For optimal results, you should start with 3 sessions at 4 -6 weeks apart. For maintenance keeping to ensure your results remain, you should have your treatment every 12 months.
