PRP Therapy: Vampire Breast Lift Treatments

The Vampire Breast Lift is a nonsurgical alternative to plastic surgery that targets loose and saggy skin along the chest. The richest factors in the blood (PRP) are extracted from and injected back into the decollete. This triggers the body’s natural ability to heal, which encourages collagen production, stem cell growth and blood circulation to the chest. The process results in a firmer skin texture, as well as a tightening and lifting of the decollete.

Over time, our breasts sag and the skin crinkles in our cleavage. If we add loss of sensation due to breastfeeding, implants, or (more often than not) years, it’s no surprise that our breasts end up feeling more droopy than sexy. The Vampire Breast Lift works much like a great, supportive bra would, restoring the fullness to your breasts.

After the procedure, the stem cells begin to regenerate, which increases tissue rejuvenation and blood flow to the area. You will notice smoother, tighter skin along the chest. Full results, including a fuller, rounder decollete, will be seen after a few months and can last up to a year. It even lifts inverted nipples and lessens stretch marks. Women with breast augmentation, who are experiencing breast wrinkling (due to volume loss) are also great candidates for a Vampire Breast Lift.

Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) treatment has had wide medical application since it’s introduction in 1970, particularly in the fields of sports and orthopedic medicine. Plasma Rich Protein injections (PRP) are commonly used for tendonitis, knee or shoulder injury,  arthritis, as well as nerve damage. Professional athletes often make use of blood injections to heal injury, including: Kobe Bryant, Tiger Woods, and Maria Sharapova.

Charles Runel, MD is the pioneer of the cosmetic application of PRP. In 2011, Dr. Runels registered and trademarked the Vampire FaceLift procedure, later made famous by Kim Kardashian. Since then, Dr. Runels  has added to the family of platelet rich plasma skin rejuvenation treatments including: Vampire Facial, Vampire Face Lift, Vampire Hair Therapy, The P-Shot for penis / sexual rejuvenation, as well as the PRP O-Shot and Wing Lift for vaginal / sexual rejuvenation.

Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) contains growth factors that are packed with proteins and healing factors. Just as it can repair the skin from injury, PRP can effectively be used to restore skin on many areas of the body. Specifically PRP works as follows:

• Stem cells respond to micro-injury on the skin by going into repair mode, stimulating growth factors and cells to generate new tissue
• New blood vessels form (or “neovascularization”), which increases the blood flow to the skin
• Cellular turnover and collagen production increase, which aids in skin renewal.

In a nutshell, PRP injection technique includes extracting and then injecting your own blood back into the skin, in order to promote skin regeneration. The procedure is actually quite simple and takes anywhere from 60-90 minutes.

1. The Vampire Breast Lift  starts with a blood draw from your arm. The platelets are extracted from the blood using a superior centrifuge called the Magellan TruPRP to isolate the protein-rich growth factors.
2. While the platelets are being extracted, a numbing cream is spread across the face.
3. Then, an esthetician will spread the PRP serum over the surface of the skin. A microneedling pen (like a Dermapen) creates multiple entry points for the PRP to penetrate the skin. Our Microneedling device is a hand-held pen, called Rejuvapen, that  pierces the skin with 12 tiny needles. It’s a multi-speed, adjustable device that encourages controlled depth, spacing and frequency of punctures and encourages absorption of the PRP deep within the skin. Most clients say Microneedling feels like a slight tingle.
4. Next, Dr. George will assess, if Juvederm is recommended to add additional volume to the chest. If so, one or two syringes of injectable filler might be neccessary.
5. Next, Dr. George will assess your skin to determine the best places to inject the PRP for maximum results.
6. Then, Dr. George will inject the PRP into various, predetermined places in the skin above the breasts and into any divots or areas of volume loss in the actual breast.

Most women describe a slight pinching feeling, but consider the procedure to be relatively pain-free. However, individual tolerances to pain will determine how painful an injection is. Our trained medical staff pride themselves on providing patients with maximum comfort during treatment.

The procedure is minimally invasive, women can return to normal activity immediately after the Vampire Breast Lift. After any injection, including the flu shot, there’s a possibility of bruising, swelling or slight soreness. This usually dissipates after a few days.

There’s an immediate lifting, smoothing and toning benefit from one treatment. However, for best results, we recommend a series of three treatments and yearly maintenance.
