A vampire facelift procedure uses the patient's own blood
1 of 5
A vampire facelift is a cosmetic procedure where the facial tissues that get loosened overtime is surgically repositioned. It involves the utilisation of the patient's own blood through a process known as Selphyl. A portion of the patient's blood is extracted from her arm and subjected to spinning in a centrifuge to separate the plasma from the red and white blood cells. The concentrated plasma, which is rich in platelets, is then injected into the face.
How many sessions do a vampire facelift procedure require?
2 of 5
The recommended dosage is three sessions which are placed four weeks apart. Besides that, you would also need one session per year to sustain the effect of the treatment.
Vampire facelift is a relatively painless procedure and involves no bruising and scarring
3 of 5
Compared to other cosmetic surgeries, a vampire facelift is painless. Other cosmetic surgeries involve cutting the skin. That would cause a lot of pain and would take time to recover. The facial incision that is required in vampire facelift is performed through injections and so the cut is microscopic. Also, the injection of the blood mixture causes no bruising as it is a thin watery fluid.
Which one these contributed to
4 of 5
It might sound far-fetched but this is the truth. Dr. Charles Runels trademarked the name " Vampire Facial" in 2010 during the craze for the aforementioned vampire-based TV series and movies. This renaming boosted the economic aspect of the treatment as many Hollywood A-listers got attracted to it because of that name.
Vampire facelift is a very recent addition to the list of cosmetic surgeries
5 of 5
The basic vampire facelift treatment has been in use for almost 20 years. Earlier this treatment was known as Platelet Rich Plasma and was used as a medical procedure, rather than a cosmetic one, to treat burnt skin and accelerate the healing of wounds.
