Vampire Facelift Guide | Natural Anti-Aging with PRP and Dermal Fillers
The
Vampire Facelift®—yes, it’s as intriguing as it sounds—is a non-surgical treatment that combines the power of
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) and
dermal fillers to restore facial volume, improve skin tone, and stimulate collagen production naturally. Popularized by celebrities and widely practiced in Korea and the U.S., this procedure rejuvenates your face using your
own blood-derived growth factors.
What Is a Vampire Facelift?
The Vampire Facelift is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure that combines:
- Hyaluronic acid (HA) dermal fillers (like Juvederm or Restylane) to restore lost volume and lift sagging skin
- PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma)—drawn from your own blood—to stimulate collagen, elastin, and skin regeneration
It’s a two-in-one facial rejuvenation treatment that addresses both volume loss and skin quality without surgery or harsh chemicals.
How It Works
- Blood Draw: A small amount of your blood is collected, similar to a lab test.
- PRP Processing: The blood is spun in a centrifuge to separate out platelet-rich plasma, which contains growth factors that boost healing and regeneration.
- Filler Injection: Hyaluronic acid filler is injected to sculpt and lift the face.
- PRP Injection or Microneedling: PRP is then either injected or applied after microneedling for deep skin rejuvenation.
The result: a firmer, more radiant face that looks naturally refreshed.
