Vampire Facelift TM

The Vampire Facelift which is a trademarked procedure developed by cosmetic physician Dr. Runels uses platelet rich plasma. The procedure is a recipe and trade secret that has only been made available to doctors who are members of the American
Cosmetic Cellular Medical Association. Read more info below fromthe originator of the procedure website.

Here's How the Vampire Facelift ® Brings New Younger Skin...
Both muscle and collagen decrease with age. This "collapse" can make the cheeks flat and the eyes hollow. As a result, the person looks "worn" or "tired" or "droopy. "

The skin can look dull and gray instead of showing the lively rose hue seen in children of every skin color. The Vampire Facelift™ can bring back youthful color and volume (see our credits on the Dcotors TV Show).

When a cosmetic physician (find a local physician) uses a filler to sculpt the face or mouth, she is trying to replace the volume that is lost and "lift" the face away from the bone (back into a more youthful shape).

With many people, a surgical facelift can be a face collapse as the skin stretches tighter against the bone--making the person look skeletonized.

There's a place for both surgery and fillers, but with fillers, the face is truly lifted away from the bone and the youthful volume is restored in a beautiful shape.

So What's Different?
If you've had fillers already, then what was put in your face probably came as a syringe inside a box (Juvederm or Restylane).

With the Vampire Facelift™ procedure, one of the two fillers (a combination is used) does not come from a box, it comes from you!

The cosmetic physician takes your blood in the way you would normally give blood for a lab test (same method and about the same amount).

Then she (by one of several methods) separates the platelets from the other main components of the blood.

Next, she activates the platelets to produce platelet-rich fibrin matrix (PRFM).

PRFM is like a gel, similar to the other fillers, and can be injected to sculpt the face--and it came from your body. But, here's the best part: not only does PRFM cause an increase in the volume, but also PRFM acts like a rejuvenating agent with at least 7 growth factors normally used by your body in healing.

So why is this better than straight up Juvederm? Is this just a marketing gimmick?
Investigate the science...

When the growth factors activate the unipotent stem cells of the skin, then the unipotent stem cells generate New Skin, New Blood Flow, New Collagen--New Tissue! Not only do you see more volume (as with other fillers), but you see truly younger skin!

The most common word that people use around the third week is "Glowing" because their friends see a younger more "glowing" complexion from the neovascularization (new blood flow from the new blood vessels that grow from the unipotent stem cells). The best way to visualize this is to imagine what you see when a young child has been playing outside in the sun--that rosy, glowing, complexion.

I've never heard anyone describe their face with "glowing" after any other procedure, but I hear it frequently after the Vampire--because hyaluronic acid fillers (like Juvederm) do not cause new blood vessels to form, the Vampire Facelift™ does.

Vampire History with a Designer Procedure...
Dr. Runels made history by announcing the first of his designer procedures, the Vampire Facelift™. Designer, because it's not just about using the blood to create the filler, it's about where it is put and how it is combined with other techniques (like Juvederm and even Botox)...
