The “lunchtime” “Vampire Facelift” procedure has attracted a great deal of media attention.  Descriptions about it have appeared on many television shows, Newspaper and magazine articles abound. Dr. Keller notes that, as we age, several things happen to our facial tissues:  

1) The skin color changes because of less underlying blood flow,  

2) The shape becomes collapsed and droopy as muscle and collage decrease,  

3) The texture of the skin becomes less smooth.  As a result, a person looks “tired” and their skin color often fades.

Dr. Keller, as a practitioner of the “Vampire Facelift”, was personally trained in Santa Barbara by the originator of the procedure, Dr. Charles Runels.  Dr. Keller, uses your own “platelet rich plasma” to help reverse the three signs of aging.  To do this, a small tube of your blood is drawn by the lab and placed in a centrifuge.  Spinning the blood at a rapid rate separates the platelets from the other blood cells.  The “platelet rich plasma” is then activated for injection.

Dr. Keller then uses this plasma to activate your own skin stem cells to produce 8 growth factors that stimulate your cells to produce collagen and new blood vessels that 1) restore blood flow to your skin and improve its color, 2) stimulates your own collagen and fat cells to restore your facial shape, and 3) improves the texture of your skin.  Restylane or other HA fillers are used to help form the scaffolding for the process.  Evidence based medical reports in peer-reviewed journals document that the process used by Dr. Keller is effective and produces results that can last 18 to 20 months.  Unlike fat and fat stem cell injections, the process is not invasive and stimulates your own fat stem cells to restore volume.
