What are the benefits compared to other injectables?

Question:
I just read an article about something called the vampire facelift where your own platelets are removed from your blood and reinjected into your face to stimulate collagen. Is this effective? What are the benefits compared to other injectables?

Answer:
The harvesting of blood products, which are then mixed with fibrin and reinjected has been under study recently. The theory is that the reinjected material will stimulate the growth of new collagen and promote a smoother younger facial look. Over the next few years we will see if the results match the early publicity.
