Vampire Face Lift
A physician-performed treatment that injects your own platelet-rich plasma — with or without stem cells — to help restore facial volume and tone, using your body's own biology rather than surgery.
Restore facial volume and tone — naturally, without surgery
Over time faces can start to look a little flatter or less refreshed, and the areas that once looked full can feel like they’ve softened. You’d like to look rested and restored — but you want a natural, non-surgical route that works with your own biology rather than against it.
The Vampire Face Lift is built around exactly that idea.
How the Vampire Face Lift works
The Vampire Face Lift uses platelet-rich plasma (PRP) drawn from a small sample of your own blood — on its own or combined with stem cells — injected into targeted areas of the face to help restore volume, tone and a refreshed appearance.
- A small blood draw. We take a small sample and concentrate the platelet-rich plasma, rich in your body’s own growth factors.
- Targeted injection. Your PRP — with or without stem cells, based on the physician’s evaluation — is injected into the areas being addressed.
- Natural response. Over the following weeks your body responds, supporting facial volume and tone.
Unlike the Vampire Facial, the Vampire Face Lift does not involve microneedling — it’s an injectable approach focused on volume and tone.
Vampire Face Lift vs. Vampire Facial
They share a name but do different things — keep them straight:
- Vampire Face Lift — injectable PRP, with or without stem cells, to help restore facial volume and tone. No microneedling.
- Vampire Facial — microneedling combined with PRP applied to the skin’s surface to improve texture and glow.

Who it’s for and what to expect
Good candidates are generally people seeking a natural, non-surgical way to restore facial volume and tone. Every plan begins with a physician evaluation to confirm you’re a candidate and to decide whether PRP alone or PRP with stem cells suits your goals. The treatment is performed in-office, most people experience only minor, temporary effects at the injection sites, and results build gradually over the following weeks. Your provider will give you clear, realistic expectations for your situation.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Vampire Face Lift?
A Vampire Face Lift uses platelet-rich plasma (PRP) drawn from a small sample of your own blood — on its own or combined with stem cells — injected into targeted areas of the face to help restore volume, tone and a refreshed appearance. It works with your body's own growth factors and, importantly, does not involve microneedling.
How is the Vampire Face Lift different from the Vampire Facial?
This is a critical distinction. The Vampire Face Lift is injectable PRP, with or without stem cells, used to help restore facial volume and tone — no microneedling. The Vampire Facial is microneedling combined with PRP applied to the skin's surface to improve texture and glow. One addresses volume and tone by injection; the other addresses surface texture and glow. Your provider will help you choose the right one.
Is it a surgical face lift?
No. Despite the name, it is not surgery. It's an in-office injectable treatment that uses your own PRP — with or without stem cells — to support a refreshed look. It's designed for people who want a natural, non-surgical approach to facial rejuvenation.
Where does the PRP come from?
From you. A small blood sample is taken and processed to concentrate the platelet-rich plasma, which is then injected during the same visit. Because it uses your own biological material, nothing foreign is introduced.
What does the PRP-with-stem-cells option add?
In some cases the physician may discuss combining PRP with regenerative cells to support the treatment. Whether that's appropriate depends on your goals and individual evaluation — it's something Dr. Cimikoski reviews with you rather than a default add-on.
Is there downtime, and when will I see results?
Because it's an injectable treatment, most people experience only minor, temporary effects at the injection sites, such as mild swelling or bruising, which your provider will explain. Results build gradually over the following weeks as your body responds, and timelines vary from person to person.
How is Utah Stem Cells different?

We're honest about candidacy and results: if it isn't right for you, we'll tell you. Consultation, treatment and follow-up all happen under one roof in Sandy.
How do I get started?
Book a free, no-pressure consultation. The physician will review your goals and the facial areas you'd like to address, and recommend whether the Vampire Face Lift is a good fit for you.
