Platelet-rich plasma therapy (PRP) and Plasmolifting (Vampire facelift) 

The main reason for the aging process  is the disbalance between the rate of destruction and regeneration of the cells and collagen. Platelets (trombocytes) are small cells which are an essential component of the human blood. They participate in the processes of cellular regeneration and contain number of  growth factors. 

About the procedure

PRP (Platelet-rich Plasma) is a substance rich in platelets which is obtained after a specific blood processing. Plasma therapy is based on this substance.

 The patient’s own blood is used for the procedure and the equipment is sterile and individual for every patient. A small amount of blood is being taken (around 10ml.) in a test tube which is then processed by means of centrifuging. The platelets are isolated after being processed in the plasma fraction of the blood. This fraction is being injected in the surface layers of the skin and acts on the principle of mesotherapy. In this procedure the platelets will stimulate cell proliferation and the synthesis of collagen and elastin.

 The use of PRP-therapy

• Improves skin quality and corrects the fine lines and wrinkles on the face, neck, chest and arms by stimulating naturally the regenerative processes of the skin;
• Reduces dark circles under the eyes which are the result of impaired microcirculation in both men and women. The growth factors in the injected substance will help the correction of the sags, fine wrinkles and dark circles in these areas;
• Treats hair loss and alopecia and optimizes the effect after the hair transplant procedure in the clinic - PRP therapy will stimulate hair growth for both "sleeping" hair follicles, if there are any, and the transferred hair follicles after FUE Transplantation procedure
• Removes acne scars, post-traumatic and post-operative scars as well as stretch marks.

 What to expect after the procedure

The effect is visible 2-3 weeks after the treatment. The recommended sessions for an optimal effect are 3 in 1 month. In order to maintain the result specialists recommend 1-2 procedures a year.

Possible side effects

Red spots and hematomas may appear in the injected areas just like in any other injection procedure, but they will subside in the next few days

• A warm sensation is felt in the injected area due to the generated biostimulation. It should subside in the next 2-3 days otherwise contact the doctor who performed the procedure

Contraindications

• Blood disorders and autoimmune diseases
• Acute or systemic infection
• In areas with skin lesions caused by pathological cell proliferation
• Taking anticoagulants
