Create the unique, youthful look you deserve

As winter sets in, so does dry skin. For those who use creams, lotions and serums to restore moisture, plumpness and prevent facial aging and dryness, 
help from a Vampire can wash the aging away.

You might be thinking, blood and vampires, oh my! But, fortunately, the name is the only scary thing about this procedure.

The Vampire Facelift (technically called Selphyl) is a non-surgical procedure that uses platelets from your own blood as a way to turn back the hands of time.

However, it more closely resembles dermal fillers, rather than a lift. The procedure itself involves a few pricks of a needle, but the complexity of the process and it’s benefits are astonishing.

Thanks to a fibrin mixture involving Hyaluronic acid, a sugar-rich gel found in synthetics like Restylane and Juvederm, moisture that diminishes in skin over time could be restored in areas of the face. 

When combined with platelet-rich plasma extracted from the patient’s blood, a gel forms and is injected into areas of the face, restoring elasticity and 
collagen-rich cells. The results: a younger, naturally youthful appearance without going under the knife.

The benefits of this Vampire Facelift are abundant. Not only can the procedure smooth out wrinkles and restore plumpness, but when combined with dermal fillers, it provides extended, long-lasting results. Best of all—
it doesn’t give your face a generic-looking lift like some procedures do. It actually restores your face’s natural positioning.

At Artemis of Oak Park we understand the patients who don’t want to inject acids, fats and toxins to achieve their goals. That’s why we recommend the 
Vampire Facelift, as it uses one’s own blood to bring back a youthful glow of yesterday.
