The Vampire Facelift® is a physician-designed protocol that combines the structural restoration of hyaluronic acid filler with the regenerative power of PRP — producing results that are both immediate and progressive. Unlike a surgical facelift, it requires no incisions, no general anesthesia, and no significant downtime. Unlike filler alone, it stimulates lasting biological change.
The Two-Phase Approach
The Vampire Facelift® works in two phases. First, hyaluronic acid filler is used to restore facial volume and structure — lifting sagging areas, restoring youthful contours, and creating the architectural foundation for the face. Then, PRP is injected into the same areas, releasing growth factors that stimulate collagen production, improve skin quality, and create lasting biological regeneration.
Why Combine Filler with PRP?
Filler alone provides immediate structural improvement but does not address the underlying biology of aging skin. PRP alone stimulates regeneration but cannot replace lost volume. Together, they address both the structural and biological dimensions of facial aging — producing results that look more natural and last longer than either treatment alone.
Additionally, PRP has been shown to improve the longevity of hyaluronic acid fillers by stimulating the production of hyaluronic acid by the skin's own fibroblasts — potentially extending the duration of filler results.
What Areas Can Be Treated?
- Cheeks and midface — restoring youthful volume and lift
- Nasolabial folds (smile lines) — softening deep creases
- Marionette lines — lifting the corners of the mouth
- Under-eye hollows (tear troughs) — reducing dark circles and hollowness
- Jawline and chin — improving definition and contour
- Temples — restoring volume lost with aging
Results and Longevity
The Vampire Facelift® produces both immediate results (from the filler) and progressive results over 3–6 months (from PRP-stimulated collagen production). Most patients find that results last 12–18 months or longer — often exceeding the longevity of filler alone, likely due to the biological regeneration stimulated by PRP.
