Does Mixing the Prp with Injectable Fillers in a Vampire Lift Dilute the After Look of the Filler?

Question

I was recommended to do a vampire lift with filler to refresh my eyes and for an over all lift effect. They told me that certain areas, such as the eyes and nasal labial folds, would be done with a mixture of the prp and filler. My concern is that when the prp goes away after a few days, some of the fullness effect will too. Would I not get better results if I just did filler alone?

PRP and facial filler work in very different ways.  PRP contains various growth factors that stimulate collagen formation and rejuvenate the skin.  Filler works by replacing facial volume that decreases with the aging process.  I prefer the Eclipse PRP system mixed with Radiesse.  This can be combined with PRP microneedling for a full face rejuvenation.

Great question!  A vampire facelift will not break down fillers at all.  It actually can enhance your filler treatment by improving skin texture and thickening the skin.  Love doing both on one day!Hope that helps!Sheila Nazariandrsheilanazarian on Instagram

The PRP has growth factors that stimulate collagen growth. If we stimulate collagen growth, we can get natural fullness and regeneration of tissue in the face. It can take 6-8 weeks, but after this time we should have some natural growth with the patient's own tissue with the use of PRP. The filler alone will be temporary, and last anywhere from 6 months to a year. I hope this helps, and I wish you the best of luck!

Thanks for the excellent question! Actually VampireFacelift will not do damage and break the fillers. On the contrary, it willeven help in enhancing the dermal filler treatment that you will receive. TheVampire Facelift will improve skin thickening and texture. 
Vampire Facelift involves the use of PRP orPlatelet-Rich Plasma. PRP can help in triggering natural collagen growth. Ifnatural collagen growth is stimulated, natural fullness and facial tissueregeneration can be achieved. Seeing the full result may take anywhere from alittle more than a month to a full three months. Within this time, the bodywill be having natural growth because of the PRP. Fillers will just take half ayear to a full year of effect before wearing off. Since it is natural, thereare lesser chances of developing adverse effects and allergic reactions. 
Hope this clarifies your doubts and hope this helpsyou out!
