Is it normal to swell after Vampire facelift?

Question

Yannis Alexandrides, MD, FACS · Answer

Swelling and redness can occur after PRP, though it is usually mild and resolves in two to three days. Some people's skin is more sensitive than others so you may be experiencing a post inflammatory reaction. It is difficult to assess whether your swelling could be considered as normal without seeing a photograph. If you are really concerned, book a follow up with your nurse.

Jeffrey B. Wise, MD, FACS · Answer

Our state of the art faciality uses the Magellan Tru PRP System, which delivers the highest purity, hospital grade PRP for optimal results. Generally, there is mild puffiness for a few days after microneedling PRP into the skin. If the PRP is injected there can be an increased amount of swelling. This typically resolves within a few days. Not all PRP is created equal. Ask questions about what type of device will be used so you can get the best results. Best of luck!

The Vampire face lift usually consists of injection of  fillers such as Juvederm or Restylane along with PRP  and sometimes even microneedling in the same session. It is normal to have swelling after Vampire face lift procedure.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

Yes, this is typical. Swelling should resolve in 2-3 days. I recommend following your Doctor's after care protocols in order to get the best results. I find this procedure is great for rejuvenation but needs to be combined with lasers, fillers, or skin tightening to get the ultimate outcomes. See an expert for a formal evaluation. Dr. Emer.

In my clinic we do the Vampire Facial a little differently.  We begin by applying numbing cream to make the treatment more comfortable.  Then we use a micro-needling device to create tiny little wounds in the skin. Once these micro-channels are open we apply the PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) directly onto the skin.  We do not inject the PRP.   We have very good results with this treatment.  Minimal swelling may last a day or two.
