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 drawn 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 lifts are often considered as a solution for those looking for natural alternatives to invasive cosmetic surgery. The treatment can help to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, improve the appearance of acne scars and rejuvenate the skin's overall appearance. As the procedure is based on the body's own resources, allergic reactions or rejection are extremely rare.

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 as well as skin and subcutaneous cells. It also stimulates the production of elastin and collagen. 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. 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 excellent results. This system is considered to be very effective and is accompanied by annual refreshers.

FAQ
Why is PRP also called a vampire lift?
PRP (platelet-rich plasma) is also known as a vampire lift, as it is a minimally invasive method of skin rejuvenation using autologous blood therapy. The blood is taken, specially prepared and then injected into the desired areas.

Can there be complications?
PRP treatment is considered a low-risk procedure. As the material used is the patient's own blood, no allergic reactions are expected. Temporary swelling, redness and bruising may occur at the injection sites, which disappear within a few days. As extensive studies are still lacking, other side effects cannot be completely ruled out. PRP treatment is not carried out in the case of blood disorders and during pregnancy.
How is the vampire lift performed?
