As we age, the skin gradually loses collagen, elasticity, volume, and its healthy, youthful glow. Fine lines, uneven texture, dryness, and facial hollowing can all contribute to a tired or aged appearance that traditional treatments alone may not fully address. While fillers, lasers, and injectables can address specific concerns, regenerative treatments work differently by stimulating the skin’s natural renewal process.
The Vampire Facelift® uses platelet-rich plasma (PRP) derived from your own blood to support collagen production, improve skin quality, and restore a more refreshed appearance. At her boutique plastic surgery practice in Westport, CT, Dr. Ellen Mahony offers personalized regenerative treatments designed to enhance skin tone, texture, volume, and overall facial rejuvenation with natural-looking results.
What Makes a Vampire Facelift Different?
The Vampire Facelift® combines hyaluronic acid fillers with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) to provide both immediate enhancement and long-term skin rejuvenation.
Benefits of this combined approach include:
-
Restores Facial Volume: Hyaluronic acid fillers help lift and contour areas affected by volume loss and aging.
-
Improves Facial Balance: Smooths transition zones and restores more youthful facial structure and definition.
-
Stimulates Natural Regeneration: PRP delivers growth factors that activate the body’s natural healing and renewal processes.
-
Boosts Collagen and Elastin Production: Helps improve skin firmness, elasticity, and overall tone.
-
Enhances Skin Texture and Glow: Supports smoother skin, improved hydration, and a healthier complexion.
-
Improves Fine Lines and Skin Quality: Helps soften lines while improving skin thickness and integrity.
-
Uses Your Body’s Own Growth Factors: PRP works with your natural tissue to create gradual, natural-looking rejuvenation.
-
Provides Natural-Looking Results: The treatment refreshes the face without looking overfilled or artificial.
The Vampire Facelift® Procedure
A small blood sample is drawn and processed to isolate PRP, which contains concentrated growth factors that support collagen production and tissue rejuvenation.
During treatment, fillers are strategically injected to restore youthful facial contours, while PRP is injected into targeted areas to improve skin tone, texture, elasticity, and radiance. The procedure is minimally invasive and requires little downtime.

Ask Dr. Mahony
This procedure combines micropenning of the entire face with injections of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) extracted from your own blood. These two techniques, combined, will improve superficial lines through the action of platelet-associated growth factors. So, yes, the Vampire Facelift® can be beneficial in rejuvenating the skin and improving its texture and integrity, including the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Now you’re thinking like a board-certified plastic surgeon! I absolutely recommend combining fillers with the Vampire Facelift®. Think of it this way: the filler gives volume to the deeper tissue in your skin. The micropen creates hundreds of tiny “channels” in the skin, which are then saturated with your own platelet-rich plasma. The PRP seeps down through those channels to the depths of the skin, where it encourages the growth of new cells to build a better blood supply, elastin, collagen, cell matrix, hyaluronic acid, and fat. By doing so, you will restore softness, a rosy glow, and improved texture to your skin.
I understand your hesitation when hearing anything to do with vampires…and blood! I can tell you that I’ve had personal experience with this treatment and I’ve performed it on many patients so far. While each individual’s pain tolerance is different, I’ve found that my patients do well with the application of properly timed numbing cream and an expert hand. Depending on how the PRP is mixed, it can have more or less of a sting. We’ll discuss your history and personal pain tolerance level at your consultation in order to provide to you the best experience and results!
