Choosing between a vampire facial and Ulthera treatment should not be an "either/or" situation. At our facility, we have performed 1000s of these procedures, often in combination with a great deal of success! Vampire facials provide skin tightening and tone and textural improvement. Ulthera allows for deeper skin lifting and tissue tightening. The key is having a thoughtful consultation with a professional to assess which strategy best works for you and your aesthetic goals.Best of luck!
You ask a very important question that many of our patients also wonder about!Loose skin around mouth typically requires deep laser (e.g. Halo hybrid fractional laser) or at least laser light (Forever Young Broad band light therapy). PRP in combination with laser or radiofrequency will tighten your skin the best. PRP when injected in combination with hyaluronic acid filler and then microneedled improves quality and texture of skin, restores youthful glow via new blood vessel formation along with new collagen formation.Best wishes,Dr B
Ultherapy and PRP address different concerns. In your case, the Ultherapy treatment will tighten lax skin around the mouth—and is a “no downtime” treatment that progressively firms the skin and promotes new collagen. PRP is a skin rejuvenation procedure that helps skin texture, fine lines, and acne scars—and requires a week of downtime as your skin heals. I would recommend Ultherapy to address your primary concern; and if in the future you find your skin devitalized (common in smokers), a PRP treatment to brighten your skin.
Hello! Thanks for your question.When it comes to comparing the Vampire Facelift vs. Ultherapy for the area you're referencing, there's really no question as that the PRP will do little to no good for this area of the face. As such, Ultherapy will offer significantly more tightening to the areas of the mouth you wish to resolve.As always, consult your nearest cosmetic professional for accurate diagnosis and advice.In good health,Dr. Berger
I find that the patients are quite satisfied with Ultherapy. It delivers what is says it will. However, it is not a facelift. Make sure you understand what each procedure can do and what it cannot do. These minimally invasive procedures are great for quick healing and minimal downtime. But, they are not a facelift.
The PRP facelift will only give mild improvements in skin texture. It will have no effective on improving the sagging around the mouth. Ulthera will somewhat improve this. Infini has been a better choice for this area in my opinion. Smoking will definitely impair your results and should be stopped.
Thank you for the question. I always advise my patients to stop taking NSAID’s before and after PRP treatment. This is because you do not want anything to hinder the inflammatory response. I recommend having a follow up your treating physician.
I second the answer, PRP does not dissolve filler. I normally perform energy based microneedling and PRP first- this stimulates your own collagen, and like you say improves texture. I then wait for several weeks before contouring with HA fillers such as Restylane or Juvederm, or under the eyes -...
A great question that is often asked. The Vampire Facelift includes the Vampire Facial (PRP) and refers to the "lift" component of the procedure which involves the use of a filler to provide the lifting of hollow or depressed areas. The amount of time the procedure will maintain...
