ladybee77,Thank you for this question. The "Vampire" or PRP injection procedure won't lift as much as it will stimulate collagen production in your skin, causing the skin to appear "fuller" and rejuvenated The hyaluronic acid fillers such as Voluma are ideal for volumization and lifting of injected areas.The best answer would be to do an in person evaluation to determine the amount of lifting actually needed. Using the two types minimally invasive procedures together provides both volume and lifting of the area and a nice glowing look to the skin. I hope this helped.Have a wonderful day.
PRP micro-needling AKA the Vampire Facial is performed by isolating a patient's own platelets and driving them into the face with thousands of channels created with a micro-needling device. Improvement in fine lines, large pores, discoloration and scars is typical. Side effects include redness, bruising, swelling, scratches, allergic reactions to numbing creams and alcohol and infections. Patients report a high satisfaction rate after one to three treatments during a six month period. PRP injection AKA the Vampire Facelift involves injecting one's own platelets below the skin into select problem areas (the lower eyelids, between the brows, around the mouth, cheeks or forehead. Improvement in fine lines, large pores, discolorations and skin texture should be evident within one month following one treatment. Significant volume enhancement or skin tightening are not to be expected from PRP treatments alone. For patients desiring augmentation PRP combined with fillers, fat or Sculptra injections should enhance the results and longevity of these treatments.Bruising and swelling are more common after the injections than micro-needling.Please use this information when consulting in person with an experienced Board Certified Specialist prior to making treatment decisions.
