LAM FACIAL PLASTICS

Dr. Lam, I was searching YouTube videos & came across a few for the PRP Skin Rejuvenation procedures to fill in some facial lines. What's your opinion on this process?

yes, this is known as the vampire facelift. i spoke with the rep recently at a trade show. he told me that the failure rate is about 40%. i see absolutely no reason to be injecting PRP for filling in lines when other fillers work consistently well. that being said, i am starting to use PRP in 2 weeks for hair restoration: helping donor scars and graft growth. i am really excited about that. other uses of PRP seem a bit voodoo right now. if my thoughts mature over the next year, i will let you know.

Thanks for your opinion. My mom is looking at PRP to help her IT band -- but insurance doesn't cover it. See you next week.

cool. PRP may help for that. yes, see you next week. sorry for the scheduling issue this week. and thank you for your great patience!
