Nominees for Vampire Facelift® – The Actual Evaluation

Vampire Facelift® is not for everyone. People with more advanced signs of aging may benefit from surgical treatment or Botox applications. People with less visible signs of aging may benefit from using less extensive non-surgical procedures like hyaluronic acid fillers and platelet-rich plasma alone. A personal consultation with an accredited provider like Dr. Dalal Akoury is the best way to determine if The Vampire Facelift® is right for you.

Vampire Facelift® on Smokers

Cigarette smoke interferes with the body’s growth factors and with tissue healing and regeneration. If you do smoke (open the smoking section for more on addiction), The Vampire Facelift® will not produce the same results in relation to a non-smoker. It is therefore advisable that smokers may be better off with hyaluronic acid filler application like Restylane or Juvederm rather than using platelet-rich fibrin matrix.

Vampire Facelift® can be combined with Other Procedures

The Vampire Facelift® can be done in conjunction with wrinkle treatments such as Botox or Dysport. Call on Dr. Dalal Akoury who is an experience expert in this discipline to help you determine what complementary procedures are right for your individual case, and with her advice you can develop a plan you will comfortable with.

Does this have anything to do with stem cells?

The growth factors activate your own adult stem cells in and under the skin. This stem cell activity results in:

Skin quality improvement
Improved Blood Flow and Blood Supply
New Collagen
New Tissue

How is the procedure done?

The key ingredient for the Vampire Facelift® is platelet-rich fibrin matrix, which is derived from the patient’s own blood before being mixed with other factors.

These properties enable platelet-rich fibrin matrix as an ideal natural serum for rejuvenating facial skin quality, with increased collagen production, blood supply, and new skin and fatty tissue generation; creating the youthful appearance that comes with generating new, healthier skin.

A small amount of blood is collected from the patient’s arm
The platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is detached or separated by spinning the patient’s blood through a centrifuge.
The PRP is combined with a filler to create the longer lasting platelet-rich fibrin matrix (PRFM).
A topical cream is applied on the patient face for numbness
After 30 minutes the gel is injected in different areas of the face.

How do you get my blood?

This is done in the same way a normal blood test blood sample would be taken by a medical staff. The blood is processed so the platelets (cells which stimulate collagen for healing) are separated from the red blood cells and the detached material is platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and how soon after the Vampire Facelift® procedure can one go back to work? This procedure has been nick named a “lunchtime lift” because recovery is typically minimal meaning that you can expect some redness and minimal bruising.

How long does the Vampire Facelift® last?

The renewal effect of the procedure continues for the first few months and depending on the individual’s response, the effects can last for over a year. Dr. Akoury can help with follow up visits at AWAREmed Health and Wellness Resource Center to evaluate your results and customize your plan.

Difference between a Vampire Facelift® and a facelift

Many people go for the Vampire Facelift® because it’s a non-surgical procedure. The term “facelift” when used in the context of the “Vampire Facelift®” describes how volume placed artistically under the skin can “lift” the skin away from the bony structure creating a more youthful appearance and as age catches with you, the fat under the skin decreases making the person look more hollow whereas facelift is a surgical procedure to reposition sagging cheeks and skin to improve the face, jawline and neck. Majority are hesitant to have surgery because of the risks of anesthesia and the healing process.

Vampire Facelift® or Vampire Facial®

In contrast to the Vampire Facelift®, the Vampire Facial® does not use any filler. The purpose of the Vampire Facial® is to enhance the benefits of micro needling with a device such as the Dermapen by applying PRP (platelet-rich plasma) during and after the micro needling process.

Dr. Akoury customizes the depth and the rate at which the micro needling is done in order to get the most benefit from the treatment for each patient making her the most sort for professional to carry out this exercise, you can therefore join the list of people who have been satisfactorily treated by this able and highly experienced expert by calling to book for an appointment today.

Vampire Facelift® or Synthetic Fillers

Unlike other injectable such as Artefill, the Vampire Facelift® is natural because it uses the patient’s own healing and growth factors collected from their own blood to revitalize the face along with hyaluronic acid filler.

There is a well-documented synergistic benefit from the use of hyaluronic acid filler with platelet-rich plasma in wound healing. Synthetic fillers alone have not shown this benefit and have other risks which make hyaluronic acid the preferred filler for the Vampire Facelift®. Botox is different than dermal fillers as it’s a neurotoxin which decreases muscle activity by affecting nerves which stimulate a particular muscle.

Is the Vampire Facelift® considered a “liquid facelift?”

The term “liquid facelift” was used to describe the use of several different types of injectable to enhance a person’s appearance. This means that the Vampire Facelift® is a type of “liquid facelift”.

Various type of fillers can be used to get some of the effect of a facelift, from Botox to using your own fat (referred to as fat transfer or fat grafting). Depending on your personal situation, a liquid facelift might be a better option than a facelift, which can still be considered in the future.

How much does the Vampire Facelift® cost?

The liquid facelift cost is dependent on Dr. Akoury’s evaluation of your needs. It’s important that you have a proper evaluation to determine if you are a candidate. Some patients also combine The Vampire Facelift® with other facial procedures. The cost will also vary if you prefer a facial instead this you can discuss with doctor Dalal Akoury on call after proper evaluation is done.

The benefit of the Vampire Facelift® continues over time after the procedure as the growth factors in the blood stimulate the body to create collagen and new blood vessels that result in enhancing facial skin.
