About the Vampire Facelift
To create dramatic results without surgery, Refine Medical Spa in Southlake, TX offers the Vampire Facelift for patients who want healthier skin and a younger looking appearance. Using the patient's own blood to create a plasma-rich platelet (PRP) serum, the Vampire Facelift includes microneedling to create tiny channels in the skin so the PRP serum can penetrate deeper layers of the skin. The enriched PRP serum uses natural healing factors to nourish the skin and correct signs of aging (fine lines, wrinkles, rough skin texture, uneven skin tone) as well as blemishes (scars, acne, large pores). Adding dermal fillers (Juvéderm, Restylane, and Sculptra) further diminishes the appearance of moderate to severe lines and wrinkles while adding volume to the cheeks and lips. All of this leads to a beautiful, nonsurgical rejuvenation of the face with long-lasting results.

Ideal Candidates
The Vampire Facelift can help patients who want to correct signs of aging, refresh their appearance, and improve the overall health of the skin without the time and expense of surgery. Patients typically see a reduction in fine lines, wrinkles, scars, acne, and pores, plus better skin tone and texture. The dermal fillers used during the Vampire Facelift also add volume to the cheeks and lips for youthful facial contours. Patients should talk to their skin care professional about any allergies, past reactions, current medications, and their home skin care routine to avoid any complications.
What to Expect
During each patient's consultation, the technician will create a custom treatment plan that includes the best dermal fillers for their needs and goals. In one of our comfortable treatment rooms, the technician will draw a small amount of blood from the patient's arm. The blood will be prepared into the PRP serum, which will be applied to the patient's face after microneedling creates channels in the skin. The PRP serum is allowed to penetrate the patient's skin as the dermal fillers are injected into the selected areas of the patient's face. The technician will carefully clean the patient's face and apply any serums or moisturizers before the treatment is complete. Patients should avoid unprotected sun exposure and exfoliating, but are otherwise able to continue their normal activities. The technician will go over post-treatment care with the patient, including how to care for the skin, signs of concern, and what to expect while the skin heals.
Anticipated Results
Most patients see some improvements immediately after their treatment that increase over the next several weeks as their collagen production is boosted. Patients should talk to their skin care professional about what skin care products should be used at home to extend their results and when to schedule their next treatment. To see their best results, patients should consider getting a series of treatments.

FAQs
What is a Vampire Facial?
Vampire procedures using Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) have been increasing in popularity. The vampire facial involves extracting a small amount of the patient's blood from their arm and spinning it in a centrifuge to seperate the plasma, - the fluid part - from the red and white blood cells. The concentrated plasma (aka Liquid Gold), is rich in plateletes - it is the part of the blood rich with growth factors - is then applied to the face. Microneedling using the SkinPen drives the PRP into the dermal - epidermal junction. The SkinPen drives the PRP into the dermal - epidermal junction. The Skin pen device allows us to vary the speed and depth of the treatment so we can safely handle all different areas of your face and body.
How Does It Work?
PRP treatment is widely accepted as a very effective treatment and takes advantage of the body's own powerful growth factors to stimulate healing and rejuvenation. Combined with the SkinPen (microneedling) treatment, the PRP therapy has an effective delivery application to easily penetrate the surface of the skin and jump-start the rejuvenation process. The treatment is easily administered and there is no clinical downtime.
