Selphyl, The Vampire Face Lift
The Vampire Face-Lift is also known as a procedure called Selphyl. It is an in office procedure that requires the patient have blood drawn from their arm and put into a centrifuge. The centrifuge then separates the platelets from the rest of the blood. The platelets are then injected into the face in the hopes that it will stimulate collagen production in the areas which are prone to wrinkling. This procedure is known as the Vampire Face Lift because of the way that it uses the patients own blood to make their face look younger and fuller.
Many patients prefer the Selphyl treatment because of they like the idea of using their own blood for a face lift rather than an artificial filler or neurotoxin.
