Vampire Facelift to Rejuvenate Your Aging Skin

A facial aging skin is evidenced in wrinkles, crow’s feet, marionette lines and general sagging which occur when the skin loses its elasticity and collagen production decreases. The Vampire Facelift® performed by Dr. Bloch, a Chicago board-certified plastic surgeon at his facility called Body by Bloch is a modern non-surgical facial rejuvenation treatment. The procedure involves use of your own growth factors derived from blood platelet rich plasmas (PRP) combined with Hyaluronic Acid (HA) dermal fillers to restore lost facial volume, improve texture, skin tone and promote collagen production for a youthful-looking face.

What are the steps for Vampire Facelift?

Vampire Facelift procedure follows these steps:

1. Blood harvesting – Dr. Bloch draws blood from a particular body area which has been numbed with anesthesia
2. PRP isolation – growth factors are isolated from the blood using a centrifuge machine which spins blood into a high concentration to isolate plasma rich platelets from the blood
3. PRP and HA filler combination – the extracted PRP is then mixed with a chosen HA filler. Facial fillers are made from proteins and other natural substances which help in fighting wrinkles and restoring lost facial volume.
4. Reinjection – the PRP and facial filler is then re-injected into areas needing treatment on your face to restore a young look.

USE YOUR BLOOD TO REJUVENATE YOUR FACE

The Vampire Facelift® procedure is not for everyone. Many would do better with surgery, or laser therapy, or Botox®, or simply PRP or an HA filler used alone.

What are the results after Vampire Facelift?

For most people, the expected result after a Vampire Facelift is a rejuvenated youthful appearance which can be achieved if you have your procedure done by a professional physician or plastic surgeon. Individual results will vary because each patient’s concerns are addressed differently. The kind of facial filler chosen will aslo suit your goals in treating lost facial volume and wrinkles. You will begin seeing full results within 2 to 3 months which can last for about 1 to 2 years. Discussing your individual recovery with Dr. Bloch will help you have a smooth recovery.
