PRP - vampire facelift
Platelet Rich Plasma therapy is a non-surgical, non invasive technique that is now available as an outpatient procedure.
It plays a greater role in the healing process. When platelets assemble at the injured sight, they not only stop the bleeding, but they also release growth factors. These growth factors aid in the healing of injured or aged tissues.
PRP is used in cosmetic surgery to rejuvenate the face, reverse the aging effects and make you look younger.
The “Vampire Facelift” is a breakthrough in filler technology using your own blood. It is used to rejuvenate your appearance similar to the effects of fillers.
PRP aids to enhance the areas which require volume. It can be used for deep folds, wrinkles and acne scarring.

1. Laser resurfacing
2. RF resurfacing
3. Chemical peeling
4. Microdermabrasion
The Preparation Of PRP
We will draw a small amount of blood, similar to the amount needed for a simple blood test.
Then the blood is centrifuged which spins the blood at a very rapid rate to separate the platelets from the other components of the blood.
The activation of the platelets is the final step in producing the platelet-rich plasma.
Post procedure
1.There will be bruising and mild swelling which fades in time.
