Uncovering the Truth Behind the ‘Vampire Facial’
Kim Kardashian may surprise us now but when a picture of her with blood splotches on her face went viral on social media last year, viewers were quite shocked. However, the reality behind what many described as a gruesome image was far less gruesome. It turns out that Kim is trying out a new anti-aging technique called a PRP facelift and since then, the procedure has taken the international celebrity world by storm. Contrary to what the picture suggests, a PRP facelift is neither difficult nor painful. And the good news is that it’s no longer limited to high-end cosmetic clinics in Beverly Hills. This procedure is now available in Pakistan and we get it from Dr. Muhammad Nasir, an expert in this field.
Botox vs PRP Facelift
Botox and dermal fillers have long dominated the market for anti-aging techniques. Although these are effective in reversing the signs of aging, they need to be repeated every few months, thus increasing both the cost and inconvenience of repeated treatments.
Over the past few years, patients seeking a youthful appearance have begun to prefer more natural and less invasive technologies. PRP facelifts, also known as ‘Dracula therapy’ or ‘vampire facelifts’, are non-surgical and semi-permanent, and claim to shave at least ten years off your face. According to Dr. Nasir, a facelift improves skin tone, reduces fine lines and smoothes skin texture. It is also great for treating fine lines and sun damage.
Best of all, this procedure doesn’t need to be repeated as often as Botox and patients get a more subtle change than the somewhat ‘plastic’ look created by Botox.
While the immediate effects of a Botox treatment may be more visible, a PRP facelift works over time to give the patient a natural and healthy-looking glow. Also, Botox is manufactured in the labs of pharmaceutical corporations while PRP injections are made from your own body.
How does a PRP facelift work?
PRP stands for ‘Platelet Rich Plasma’ and this technique is widely used to help athletes heal from sports injuries. The body is injected with a substance produced from your own platelets, which not only encourages growth and repair, but also reduces the effects of aging on the body.
A PRP facelift will require your ophthalmologist to draw some blood from your body. He will then treat the blood under a mechanical device to separate the platelets and make them more potent. When the formula is ready, it is applied to the areas of the face that need the most TLC. If done correctly, the procedure is relatively painless, although patients may experience some redness around the affected area.
What do Kim Kardashian and Angelina Jolie have in common?

The bottom line
The beauty industry is obsessed with aging and there will always be a new craze or trend to be tried by some Hollywood celebrity.
