I'm 37 and starting to see some volume loss under my eyes, temples, lips and lower face (which I assume is due to loss of cheek volume). The volume loss is also making my asymmetries more noticeable (it was never noticeable before 35). I'm not a fan of fillers but did start using Xeomin for brow lift and lip flip recently. It has made a difference in balancing the asymmetry. I would like to find the least toxic and sustainable solution for volume loss which is why I'm considering PRP injections.
Answer: The Vampire facelift can be considered safer and less toxic than some other facial fillers. The Vampire facelift has shown excellent results for patients looking to subtly and naturally add volume to the face. One of the incredible things about this treatment is that it’s very safe and aimed at healing and restoring, rather than adding and filling. The treatment involves injections of hyaluronic acid, which naturally exists in your skin but becomes depleted with time, and platelet-rich plasma (PRP), which is collected from your own blood and therefore poses no risk of rejection or allergic reaction. In this way, the Vampire facelift can be considered safer and less toxic than some other facial fillers. As an injection therapy though, the same risk of injection into a blood vessel does exist. However, among experienced, certified specialists, this risk is very low, so we just recommend that you do your research on the provider.

Answer: Risks of PRP injections There have been no serious side effects reported for PRP which is your own blood plasma drawn from and re-injected into your body. Your blood vessels already contain your blood plasma with cells including platelets; therefore, there is no risk of allergy, nodules, tissue death, granulomas or lumps. However, the results from PRP injected alone do not last as long as the combination with traditional filler for immediate volume. Filler also provides a scaffolding or framework to support the new cell growth stimulated by your PRP. Some, nonetheless, choose to have PRP injected only and have repeat injections more frequently up to every 3-6 months as opposed to annually with filler.
