Platelet Rich Plasma versus fillers.
Platelet rich plasma is a relatively new technique which uses ones own blood product to improve skin quality. It is less predictable in its ability to fill or add volume than fillers such as perlane. It is effective improving skin texture and tone and can be used in conjunction with fillers and laser resurfacing. I have found it to be a great add on product to laser resufacing procedures for acne scars and periorbital rejuvination.

“Vampire Lift”: A Catchy and Deceptive Marketing Term
“Vampire Lift” is just a catchy and deceptive marketing term. A Regen Plasma (Selphyl) - Vampire Lift involves injecting platelet rich plasma (PRP) derived from your own blood as a filler. PRP has been used in other surgical procedures with claims of less bruising, less swelling and faster healing, but yet to be scientifically proven, as an advancement and long term benefit in aesthetic regenerative procedures. Some claim that it is just as effective and longstanding as other...

Platelet rich plasma is effective, lacks lumps, and i safe as a filler for the face.
There is a great body of evidence based literature to show that Platelet Rich Plasma injections are safe, effective, and long lasting (Sclafani, et al.,, in particular). As an original doubter in this procedure, I have become a believer after a 11/2 year experience. As far as other fillers go, I am not aware of many that are FDA approved except for injection to the nasolabial folds; so, almost all fillers are used off label for facial filling, including Platelet Rich Plasma,...

Regenplasma is a heavily promoted, trademarked franchised injection that injects your blood plasma into your skin to fill wrinkles and depressions. Research has not shown it to effective as a skin filler. It is not on the FDA approved drug list as of June 2012.
The other fillers you mention are FDA approved lab manufactured hyaluronic acid, which is naturally found in our joints. They are proved to fill lines and wrinkles for about 6-9 months; in some people results last years...

Vampire Lift - Regenplasma; Just as Effective and Long-lasting as Other Fillers?
No, not even close. PRP injected is still not entirely proven for long term results and clearly would not be as reliable as a proven , stable off the shelf filler like Perlane that can shape and contour the face as well as increase volume. This remains largely Hype IMHO.

"Vampire" lift
I hate the name because it does make the plastic surgeon sound like Count Dracula and I do not operate in a cape BUT the procedure is fascinating and extremely promising. Its advantage is that the results, which emerge with time, are long-lasting and do not involve injection of foreign substances. As with every procedure, it must be suitable to the patient's presenting condition and needs. It is performed in several sittings as opposed to a one-stop approach with fillers.
