Can the 'PRP' Platelet Rich Plasma face lift help restore some firmness to the loose skin due to collagen loss?

 PRP micro-needling AKA the Vampire Facial is performed by isolating a patient's own platelets and driving them into the face with thousands of channels created with a micro-needling device. Side effects include redness, bruising, swelling, scratches, allergic reactions to numbing creams and alcohol and infections.  Patients report a high satisfaction rate after one to three treatments during a six month period.
PRP injection AKA the Vampire Facelift involves injecting one's own platelets below the skin into select problem areas (the lower eyelids, between the brows, around the mouth, cheeks or forehead.  Improvement in fine lines, large pores, discolorations and skin texture should be evident within one month following one treatment. Significant volume enhancement or skin tightening are not to be expected from PRP treatments alone.  For patients desiring augmentation PRP combined with fillers, fat or Sculptra injections should enhance the results and longevity of these treatments.
Bruising and swelling are more common after the injections than micro-needling.

Hello! Thanks for your question. The PRP or vampire face lift does restore some volume loss and in the long run actually helps your skin produce more of its own collagen, thus helping to fill out your face and lift your skin. Whether the PRP facelift will give you the results you want will really depend on the extent and position of your volume loss. You should schedule an in-person consultation with a board-certified physician, dermatologist or plastic surgeon -- their evaluation will help you understand what a PRP facelift will be able to accomplish for your specific concerns. Good luck!
