Have you heard about the Vampire Lift? Use your own blood to look younger.

We have all heard how fillers can restore facial volume lost by early aging. Juvederm, Restylane, Sculptra, Radiesse, and your own fat have all been touted as the filler du jour.  Well trump that and enter the Vampire Lift.  Catchy name, but there is a lot of science behind the latest anti-aging procedure.

The doctor starts by drawing a little of you own blood.  It is centrifuged to separate the blood cells from the plasma, which contains the platelets.  These are necessary blood constituents for clotting but they are also known to be the messengers that call in the body’s building blocks, such as growth factors, angiogenesis factors, and collagen, whenever there is an injury.  When these activated platelets are injected into your own face, the body thinks it is injured and builds the tissues back up in the injected area.  Sports medicine docs have used it for some time to treat injured athletes and now PSS is bringing it to you.

The procedure takes about 45 minutes, costs $500-$1000, and may last for more than a year!  And best of all, it can even be done in the daylight.
