Vampire Facelift

Hammersmith, West London

Discover the power of natural skin regeneration with PRP Vampire Face Lift treatment at Dermadoc Clinic, Hammersmith. This non-surgical facelift harnesses the healing potential of your body’s own platelets to restore volume, reduce fine lines, and enhance overall skin texture—without synthetic products.

What Is PRP Therapy?

PRP therapy works by taking a small blood sample from you and spinning it in a centrifuge to isolate platelet-rich plasma. This plasma is rich in growth factors—proteins that naturally stimulate skin healing and collagen production. Once injected into specific areas of the face (or body), these platelets:

  • Rejuvenate skin by stimulating collagen and elastin production

  • Encourage volume restoration for youthful contours

  • Improve skin tone and texture

  • Target fine lines and wrinkles, especially around the mouth, eyes, and nose

The treatment is also known as a PRP Facelift, Vampire Facelift, or Dracula Therapy, due to the use of your own blood in the rejuvenation process.

Recovery from PRP Therapy

You will recover very quickly from the procedure, as thanks to the topical anaesthetic it is a very comfortable treatment and there should be no unwanted effects from this type of anaesthetic. Most people are usually able to carry on with their day as normal as soon as PRP therapy is over. You may notice that the area of skin in question is a little bruised, swollen or red around the injection site, but this will disappear within a matter of days and will probably not be noticeable to other people. However, it is important to follow the post-treatment guidelines to prevent any problems:

  • A cold compress can treat any swelling.
  • Don’t touch the area of skin or apply any cosmetics or make-up for at least 6 hours following treatment; this greatly reduces the chance of infection.
  • Although rare, if you have tender or painful skin around the injection site, you should be extra careful when caring for that area of your skin after receiving PRP therapy.
