Preparing the treatment area for Vampire facelift
We start by washing and sensitizing areas you want to rejuvenate
- Targeting injections: Here, Dr. Alhallak marks the area with a nonpermanent special pencil.
- Drawing your blood: We will take About three teaspoons of your blood.
- Separating the platelets from the blood: we will centrifuge it for about five to ten minutes. The machine then spins the blood to separate the lighter plasma from your blood.
- Next, Dr. Kamal will “activate” the quarantined PRP or platelet-rich plasma using a unique process which releases collagen and growth factors.
- Applying topical anesthesia: Upon your request, a doctor will apply topical anesthesia in the treatment area to keep you comfortable during the procedure.
- Injecting PRP: The extracted plasma is applied to the treatment area using acupuncture-style needles to enhance your appearance. Dr. Kamal target the strategic areas to enhance skin renewal and healing by producing new collagen and skin cells enriched with human growth factors. The increase in new growth factors brings about firmer, youthful, and plumper-looking skin.
