What is Botox®, and why is it such a popular aesthetic treatment?

Botox is an FDA-approved injectable medication that temporarily reduces the appearance of frown lines, forehead lines, and crow’s feet. It’s also the world’s leading non-surgical treatment for those issues. 

The medication prevents treated muscles from going through their full range of motion. With just a few quick injections, treated muscles allow you to make normal facial expressions but aren’t strong enough to tug and pull your skin into lines, folds, and wrinkles. 

Results take a day or two to develop and last around four months. You can extend your results with another round of injections; the office visit usually takes less than 20 minutes. 

What is a Vampire facelift®?

A Vampire facelift is an aesthetic treatment that helps lift and tighten your skin while also reducing the appearance of acne scarring and dull skin tone. The process relies on platelet-rich plasma (PRP), a concentrated solution of your blood. 

The process begins with a quick blood draw. That blood goes into the PureSpin PRP® device,  where a high-speed spinning motion separates the solid components of your blood from the liquid plasma. Your platelets, rich in growth factors, go back into the cleared plasma before your provider draws the solution into sterile syringes. 

Next, your practitioner administers the PRP into the deeper layers of your skin with a series of injections. Dermal fillers are also injected in areas that could benefit from additional volume. The PRP enhances new cell development, including collagen, which works to smooth and tighten your skin.
