PRP therapy (autologous blood treatment, vampire lift)
For skin rejuvenation, we not only have hyaluronic acid, microneedling or peelings at our disposal, but also treatment with PRP.
PRP stands for platelet-rich plasma, which we extract from your own blood. The treatment is also known as plasma treatment, autologous blood therapy or vampire lifting.
To obtain PRP, we take a certain amount of blood from your arm vein and centrifuge it in tubes provided for this purpose. The centrifugation separates the platelet-rich plasma from the other blood components and we then immediately inject it into the skin regions to be treated.
Platelet-rich plasma contains platelets and numerous growth factors. The growth factors promote cell growth, stimulate the synthesis of new collagen and stimulate the formation of elastic fibres and new blood vessels.
The PRP treatment leads to a rejuvenation and improvement of the skin structure as well as a reduction in the depth of wrinkles on the face, neck and décolleté as well as the back of the hands.
There should be 3-6 treatments at intervals of 4 weeks. In the further course, treatments should initially be carried out every 3 months, and later every 6 months.
Autologous blood therapy is also suitable for stimulating the hair follicles in cases of hair loss and for treating stretch marks.
We are also happy to combine PRP therapy with microneedling. In this case, we work your platelet-rich plasma directly with the microneedling into the deeper skin layers.
Before starting the therapy, we apply an anaesthetic cream to the skin areas to be treated. The cream is left on for 40-60 minutes. During this time you can rest, work or read in our cabin. Shortly before the end of the treatment time, we take blood from your arm vein. This is then centrifuged and your skin is cleaned and disinfected during this time.
Then the treatment begins and the PRP is injected with the finest needles.
After the treatment, your skin is disinfected and cooled. Before you leave, we apply a skin-soothing cream and sunscreen.
For 1-2 days after the treatment, your skin will be slightly red and may show the smallest bruises. You should avoid direct sunlight for the first week after treatment. Sunscreen should be applied daily during the treatment period.
Appointment duration: 90-120 minutes, no sports for 24 hours, no sauna for 1 week.
