vampire lifting
Vampire lifting, also known as PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) treatment, is a non-surgical beauty procedure that targets skin rejuvenation at the cellular level. The name "vampire" refers to the process in which a small amount of blood is taken from the patient, similar to a blood test. This blood is then centrifuged to enrich the plasma, which is rich in platelets and growth factors.
Vampire facelifts are often considered as a solution for those looking for natural alternatives to invasive cosmetic surgery. The treatment can help reduce fine lines and wrinkles, improve the appearance of acne scars, and rejuvenate the skin's overall appearance. Because the procedure relies on the body's own resources, allergic reactions or rejection are extremely rare.

Treatment at a Glance
What is Vampire Lifting (PRP)?
This technique was developed in stem cell research and regenerative medicine. Vampire lifting (PRP = Platelet-Rich Plasma) takes the findings and applies them directly to the patient. This autologous blood therapy is a modern innovation in aesthetic medicine for skin rejuvenation and biostimulation. The processed blood plasma stimulates cell renewal by stimulating the growth of collagen, skin and subcutaneous cells. The production of elastin and collagen is also stimulated. The activation of the platelet-rich plasma stimulates the stem cells of the connective tissue and the natural process of tissue renewal. The result is an improved and smooth complexion. The renewal of the skin is activated by the inner connective tissue.
The treatment
After consultation with the practitioner, the relevant areas are focused on. First, blood is taken from the arm vein and centrifuged in a special tube. The plasma obtained is then injected into the skin. At least three treatments should be planned at intervals of 4 weeks in order to achieve an excellent result. This system is considered to be very effective and is accompanied by annual refreshers.

FAQ
Why is PRP also called vampire lifting?
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) is also known as vampire lifting because it is a minimally invasive method of skin rejuvenation that uses autologous blood therapy. The blood is taken, specially prepared and then injected into the desired areas.
How many treatments are required?
On average, three to five treatments are needed to achieve satisfactory results.
Is there an immediate effect?
No, there is no immediate effect after the first treatment. The skin may be slightly red and the injection sites may be slightly swollen immediately after the treatment. The desired effect usually occurs after 4-6 weeks.
Can complications occur?
PRP treatment is considered a low-risk procedure. Since the material used is the patient's own blood, allergic reactions are not expected. Temporary swelling, redness and bruising may occur at the injection sites, but these disappear within a few days. Since comprehensive studies are lacking, other side effects cannot be completely ruled out. PRP treatment is not performed in cases of blood disorders or during pregnancy.
How is the vampire lift performed?
Before the actual treatment, a small amount of blood is taken from the patient, centrifuged and filtered. The blood serum obtained is then injected into the desired skin areas using a fine injection needle.
