A Vampire Facelift is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure combining Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) benefits and hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers to rejuvenate the face. The dermal fillers provide immediate results by smoothing lines and wrinkles, softening creases, enhancing facial contours, and restoring lost volume. Meanwhile, the PRP promotes longer-term skin improvements by stimulating collagen production and enhancing skin tone and texture over the next two to three months.
This dual-action approach offers instant gratification while fostering gradual, natural-looking improvements in the skin’s overall appearance.

The ideal candidate is someone seeking a non-surgical approach to facial rejuvenation, typically between the ages of 30 and 65. They should exhibit early signs of aging, such as fine lines, wrinkles, mild to moderate skin laxity, and volume loss, but not require extensive lifting or restructuring that surgery addresses. Individuals should be in good health, have realistic expectations about the procedure outcome, and prefer natural enhancement over dramatic changes.
This treatment is especially suitable for individuals looking to improve skin tone and texture, reduce the appearance of creases and hollows, and achieve a more youthful appearance without the downtime associated with surgery.
In a Vampire Facelift, dermal fillers work by injecting hyaluronic acid-based substances into the skin before the PRP therapy is performed. The fillers are strategically injected into areas needing volume and contour improvement, such as the cheeks, under-eye area, and nasolabial folds.
– Individuals who are pregnant or breastfeeding.
– Individuals with a history of severe allergies to hyaluronic acid or lidocaine.
– Individuals with active skin infections or inflammation on the face.
– Individuals experiencing blood clot disorders, taking blood-thinning medication, or living with autoimmune conditions/compromised immune systems.
In a Vampire Facelift, PRP therapy begins by drawing the patient’s blood and processing it to separate the platelets from other blood components. The resulting PRP, rich in growth factors, is injected into the face after the dermal fillers. These growth factors stimulate collagen production, cell turnover, and tissue regeneration, improving skin texture, tone, and elasticity.
– Individuals with platelet dysfunction syndromes, thrombocytopenia (low platelet count), severe anemia, or other blood disorders that affect platelets or clotting ability.
– Individuals with active systemic or local infections should not undergo PRP therapy.
– Individuals with active cancer or undergoing cancer treatment should avoid PRP therapy.
– Individuals on anticoagulant (blood thinning) medications, who are pregnant, or have a chronic disease should avoid PRP therapy.
Before the procedure, expect a consultation where your provider will:
Because PRP is created with the patient’s own blood, there is no risk associated with repeating the procedure. Dermal fillers are US FDA-approved and licensed products are approved by Health Canada. Some individuals may face minor side effects, but our trained professionals are highly knowledgeable in treating any complications that may arise.
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy:
PRP is a minimally invasive treatment that involves absorption of PRP derived from the patient’s own blood into the face. The science behind PRP is its high concentration of growth factors, which promote tissue regeneration and healing. When applied to the face after dermal fillers, PRP increases collagen production and other facial enhancements.
Dermal Fillers:
Dermal fillers are based on the science of hyaluronic acid (HA), a substance naturally found in the skin that helps maintain hydration and volume. HA fillers are synthesized in a laboratory to mimic the body’s own HA. When injected into the skin, they attract and bind water molecules, adding volume and smoothing our wrinkles and fine lines. This plumping effect restores youthful contours and enhances facial features. Over time, HA fillers gradually break down and are absorbed by the body, making them temporary solutions that typically last several months to over a year.
