Can a vampire facial restore volume?

Question

During my high school years I went through a lot of stressful experiences that took a huge toll on my body. My hair started falling out, I lost ALOT of weight and along with that I gained dark circles with a corspy face. I've finally recovered and some of my facial weight has returned, but it is no longer plump. I was wondering if doing a vampire facial or just prp injections would do just the trick without doing too much. Thank you. Age 18-24

Some of the plumpness you are lacking could be due to a breakdown in collagen as a result of the stress you have experienced. On the other hand the hair loss it could also be related to hormones or diet so it may be worth visiting your Doctor to eliminate these causes. You may be able to restore some of the plumpness by encouraging the growth of new collagen through PRP. This will help give your skin the vitality and youthful glow back. This look will be more subtle than fillers, but at your age I would recommend this treatment first, and if you still desire more volume then perhaps consider fillers in the future.

A vampire facelift will not restore volume loss. This treatment improves overall texture and radiance to the skin.  For our patients that have volume loss, combining PRP with filler is the best option. Not all PRP is created equal so find out which device will be used for your treatment. Our center uses the Magellan Tru PRP System, which delivers the highest purity of PRP. Best of luck!

I find this procedure is great for rejuvenation but needs to be combined with lasers, fillers, Sculptra for collagen building or skin tightening to get the ultimate results. See an expert for a formal evaluation. Dr. Emer.

Great question. A Vampire Facial will increase the radiance and youth of the skin and help with skin tone and texture. Microneedling the skin with PRP can always help increase collagen, however, the Vampire Facelift would be a better option to add volume. The Vampire Facelift is injecting the PRP as well as the recommended filler to add volume and fullness to desired areas. I would recommend starting off with a vampire facial or two, and then pursuing the Vampire Facelift if you feel that you want more volume. I hope this helps!

Thank you for your question. Vampire facials are mainly for facial rejuvenation and do not add volume. They will definitely brighten up your face but you may need fillers if volume is needed. Go and see a qualified aesthetic medicine practictioner, who will be able to advice on the best options.

The facial will not restore volume. Vampire facelift would. However you must address the elephant in the room. You lost volume because your stress, fight or flight hormones took over and your body did not regenerate itself through hormone balance.  Are your hormones back on track?  Do you sleep well at night? Are you stressed? Are your menses regular? Even if they are proper hormone balance is essential. We should not be doing fillers in your age group.

I wouldn't count on the PRP replacing volume. I might make the skin more youthful. Results are variable and it really needs to be combined with filler to achieve volume replacement.
