Vampire Facial Vs Vampire Facelift

In recent years, the “vampire” facial and facelift have gained popularity among those seeking a youthful and refreshed appearance. Both treatments use Platelet Rich Technology (PRT) derived from the patient’s blood to promote natural skin rejuvenation. While they share similarities, each procedure offers distinct benefits depending on individual goals and skin concerns.

What Is PRT?

Platelet Rich Technology (PRT) is a concentrated mixture of platelets and growth factors obtained from a patient’s blood. It is widely used in medical and cosmetic procedures to accelerate healing and stimulate tissue regeneration. To extract PRT, a small amount of blood is drawn and processed in a centrifuge, which separates the platelets and plasma from red and white blood cells. The resulting PRT is injected or applied topically to enhance skin quality and repair damage.

What Is the Vampire Facial?

The vampire facial, or PRT facial, involves applying PRT to the skin through microneedling. This minimally invasive procedure creates microchannels in the skin, allowing deeper penetration of PRT. The treatment helps improve fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and skin texture while boosting collagen production. Patients typically notice enhanced hydration and a glowing complexion within weeks.

What Is the Vampire Facelift?

Unlike the vampire facial, the vampire facelift combines PRT with dermal fillers for more pronounced results. The PRT is injected at the superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS) level, targeting deeper layers of the skin. This process rejuvenates facial ligaments and muscles, restores volume loss, reduces pore size, and smooths fine lines. Adding hyaluronic acid-based fillers enhances facial contours, providing an immediate lifting effect and long-term skin regeneration.

Process of Vampire Facial and Vampire Facelift

Both treatments begin by withdrawing a small amount of blood, which is then processed in a centrifuge to extract PRT.

Vampire Facial: PRT is applied topically following microneedling, allowing the skin to absorb the growth factors for rejuvenation.
Vampire Facelift: PRT is injected into deeper skin layers alongside dermal fillers to restore lost volume and enhance facial contours.

At Beautiphi, we enhance results by combining PRT injections with microneedling techniques such as Dermapen® or Dermastamp®. Our latest U225 gun technology allows PRT to be injected directly under the skin’s surface for optimal absorption, eliminating the need to rub it in post-injection. This dual approach accelerates skin renewal and delivers faster, more significant results.

Vampire Facial vs. Vampire Facelift – Which One Is Better?

The choice depends on individual needs. If you want to improve skin texture, hydration, and mild signs of ageing, the Vampire Facial is a great option. However, if you’re looking for more volume restoration and wrinkle reduction, the Vampire Facelift is the better choice due to the added benefits of dermal fillers.

Another alternative that is gaining popularity is the 3D Cellular Matrix Facelift, which offers similar rejuvenation benefits. Since both procedures involve minimal downtime, it’s best to consult a qualified practitioner to determine which treatment aligns with your aesthetic goals.
