What is the difference between vampire face lift and microneedling?

Microneedling (also known as the Vampire Facial when used with platelet-rich plasma) pokes lots of small shallow holes in the skin. PRP, nutrients or medication applied to the skin afterwards can more easily penetrate into the deeper layers of the skin and do their work. The idea is to stimulate the production of new skin cells to replace old ones thus giving better color and texture to the skin.
The Vampire Facelift is different. It involves the injection of hyaluronic acid (a natural filler) and PRP under the skin into a few strategic places on the face. With age we gradually lose fat and other subcutaneous tissue in the face. This causes wrinkles and sagging.The HA replaces some of volume that is lost. Its effect would be short-lived, however, without the addition of PRP. PRP attracts stem cells to the area and stimulates them to grow into new subcutaneous tissue. This fills the face out and decreases the wrinkles and sagging. Sort of like reinflating a balloon.
However, some of the PRP injected will inevitably also effect the lower levels of the skin. This usually causes new skin growth and has the same effect as the Vampire Facial - improved color and texture.

Onlai,
This is a good question because there is a lot of confusion.  Vampire Facelift is a licensed procedure only performed by certified physicians and injectors.  It combines traditional filler, usually a hyaluronic filler strategically injected all over the face followed by your blood plasma obtained by a blood draw in the same fashion you have probably had done before at a doctor's office for lab tests.  The plasma (PRP) is separated using a special technique and FDA approved equipment.  Your plasma has growth factors that rejuvenate tissue and grow new cells over time.  When your plasma is injected in the same places as the filler the results last about a year improving slowly over time.  The process adds volume, thereby improving shape as well as texture and color.  
Microneedling uses tiny needles to create channels in the skin at varying predetermined depths to cause a controlled damage to the skin so it can heal and stimulate collagen to correct scars, improving color and texture.  It can be combined with topical or injected PRP or heat via radiofrequency to enhance results. 

Hello. Thank you for your question. A Vampire Facelift uses a syringe of Juvederm Ultra Plus along with PRP. The PRP is microneedled in, then the filler and PRP and injected into the face. A vampire facial, is just microneedling with PRP. No filler is used with this procedure.

Hi, thank you for the question. Vampire facial includes micro needling and PRP injection given simultaneously but vampire face lift refers to PRP activated filler injection. Vampire facial is used for facial rejuvenation by improving skin texture, tone and elasticity while vampire face lift is similar to other fillers used to replace lost volume. I would recommend you to have in person consult with a reputable doctor for further discussion about different treatment options available.

Microneedling with PRP utilizes the healing benefits of two different cutting-edge procedures. First, microneedling is performed to create the tiny channels on the surface of the skin and initiate collagen and elastin production. A small sample of your blood will be drawn and placed in a centrifuge to separate it and create platelet-rich plasma, or PRP. The PRP contains a concentration of the growth factors that occur in your blood, and the solution is applied to the treatment areas to accelerate the healing process and produce even better results. The growth factors work together with the collagen and elastin production to give you smoother, brighter skin.

Dear Onlai,We all want to look our best.Microneedling alone may do very little. Add prp to the mix, and improvements may happen, aka Vampire Facial.Vampire facelift is a combination of fillers with prp for internal volume and Rejuvenation.Other options are full facelift, chemical peels and laser.Best.
