I am 27 and plan on getting a "Vampire Facelift" (PRP treatment). How many session are there?

Question

I am planning to get a PRP treatment done for skin rejuvenation. I would like to know the standard number of sessions required to see results and also, the amount of time gap there must be between these sessions. I was told by a doctors 1 session per month for continuous 3 months will have to be given to see results. Please advise. Thank you.

Thank you for your question about the PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) procedures.  Typically it is done by way of drawing the patient's blood, spinning it down in a centrifuge, drawing off the layer of Platelet Rich Plasma, then microneedling it into the skin.  The PRP can also be injected into areas of the skin, including the scalp....which helps with hair rejuvenation.  By using a patients own PRP you can get the benefits of their own growth factors which can stimulate collagen production.  This will decrease fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin texture and tone, minimize pores, even treat acne scarring and stretch marks.  When using the PRP (platelet rich plasma) microneedling technology for facial rejuvenation it is likely you would need 1-2 a year to achieve and maintain desired results.  For hair rejuvenation, scar treatment, stretch mark treatment, or treatment of melasma/pigment issues it will likely take multiple consecutive treaments.  There is little to no down-time with PRP microneedling, but avoiding the sun is always a good idea after any facial cosmetic procedures.  With injections there is aslo always risk of bruising and swelling.  
To be sure, see two or more experienced, licensed and board-certified providers in your area for a complete evaluation to make sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have treatment. I hope this helps.

PRP treatment procedure is an effective method ofrejuvenating the skin by improving its tone and texture. It does so with lessrisk of developing side effects and allergic reactions. This is because PRP isextracted from the patient's own blood by spinning it in a centrifuge.
With the little information provided, there is no wayto accurately say how many sessions a 27-year old individual would need. Properevaluation and assessment is needed to get to a specific figure. That said, 3sessions would generally be recommended to start seeing results. Initialresults will be observed in about 3 to 4 weeks after the first session. Eachsession will be done one month apart from each other.
To get a basic idea for your case, you may want to goand visit a board certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate your situation andprescribe you with the total number of treatment procedures you will need.

Ggenerally with a vampire facelift we recommend approximately one treatment every 4 to 6 weeks apart and approximately 3 treatments. A vampire facelift is the same thing as PRP so a vampire facelift is a trademark for microneedling with PRP applied to the face. The recommendations from your doctor are reasonable as 3 treatments approximately 4 to 6 weeks apart.

PRP or Vampire Facial is Not a face lift.  This treatment cannot lift the skin.
  
It is an excellent treatment for skin rejuvenation and to refresh your look . 
  
The Vampire Facial improves texture and tone of skin.  It does not get rid of wrinkles, pigment or sun damage.   
  
The PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) is very rich in growth factors that stimulate collagen and give you a refreshed look.  
  
For optimum results Dr. Ebrahim recommends 3 Vampire facials that are spaced 4 – 6 weeks apart.

The PRP treatment is an excellent way to improve the texture and tone of the skin. 3 sessions are recommended for the best results. The results begin to show 3 - 4 weeks after the first treatment. Each treatment should be done 1 month apart to achieve the best results. It is also recommended to repeat the PRP treatment every 6 monhts to maintain the results.
