Am I a good candidate for a vampire facial?

Question

Although my test results for Von Wilderbrand are on the low end this condition runs in my family. When I do get fillers my bruising is minimal; however, I do tend to bleed. I don't use fish oil, vitamin E or take any blood thinners. I have sensitive skin w/ seborrheic dermatitis, rosacea &some very old acne scarring. I think I could really benefit from the vampire facial. Am I a viable candidate?

This needs an in-person evaluation. A vampire facial refers to the topical application of PRP (platelet rich plasma).  I always combine lasers and prp with microneedling, sculptra for collagen building and ultherapy for skin tightening to get the best results. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist. Best, Dr. Emer.

It’s very hard to say. The vampire facelift involves drawing blood and a lot of small injections to the face and microneedling so if you already have a tendency to bleed, you could bleed a lot , so before getting it done I would get clearance from your primary care doctor / hematologist.
