It’s good to be young, and if only there is something that can make us stay forever young, most of us will scamper to get it. Unfortunately, the fountain of youth is only a myth. People who want to stay looking young, however, found their fountain of youth in a new plastic surgery procedure called Vampire face lift.
Vampire…really?
Selphyl, or more popularly known as vampire face lift, is an all-natural treatment that de-ages a person’s skin, literally making it younger and healthier. Vampire face lift involves injecting a mixture of blood products into affected areas. Injectable selphyl is non-invasive, non-surgical cosmetic filler.
Unlike its contemporaries, injectable selphyl is taken from the blood of the person who is to undergo the procedure. Other well-known cosmetic fillers – Juvederm, Restylane and Perlane – are artificial.
Injectable selphyl makes the skin physiologically younger unlike BOTOX and Juvederm which only makes one’s skin look younger on the surface. The blood injection procedure may cost more than a bottle of most women’s cosmetics but the amount injected is equivalent to four syringes of Juvederm, which would cost over $2,000 and start fading at the end of a year.
A Vampire face lift takes about only 20 minutes. It rejuvenates the client’s skin without swelling, bruising, or lumping. Skin volume is increased over a few weeks as new collagen and blood vessels develop. The client’s own tissues virtually reverse the signs of aging naturally.
The benefits of injectable Selphyl include
- Uses your own blood’s natural resources to treat wrinkles
- Triggers cell migration/proliferation to increase skin volume
- Rejuvenates without swelling, bruising, lumping, or allergic reaction
- Employs the safe and rapid preparation of PRFM – Platelet-rich Fibrin Matrix – which results in a smooth gel for natural treatment
- Treatments can be used in any body area – without side effects
- Great for both men and women
- Produces long lasting results
- Next best thing to a facelift – without the surgery
How it works
Injectable selphyl is prepared by drawing a patient’s blood, separating the platelets from the red blood cells. The separated platelets are then mixed with a fibrin mixture and injected to the area the patient wants to augment. Surgeons overfill the area by 20 percent so a patient can see an approximation of the final results. The excess will be gone in about a day. Several weeks after the blood injection facelift, the fibrin matrix builds up and the final result appears.
Vampire face lift lasts about 15 months and will yield near-natural results. The treated area will look smoother after two to three weeks. This is because of the new cells the fill in under the epidermis. The improvement will continue for several weeks until the signs of aging are diminished greatly.
