Vampire Lifting – before / after
Bye-bye wrinkles: Tight facial skin radiates youthfulness and attractiveness. However, the biological aging process causes the skin to gradually lose elasticity and the first wrinkles to form.
To increase well-being and gain new self-confidence, many women consider having wrinkles removed surgically.
But beware! Modern medicine offers a much less risky way to tighten facial skin, without surgery.
The PRP method, also known as autologous blood therapy, provides a solution.
What is this minimally invasive treatment method all about?
What are the risks and what effects are possible? We provide answers!
What is the Vampire Lifting?
The Vampire Lifting is an autologous blood therapy developed in the USA that today helps women and men worldwide achieve smooth, youthful facial skin.
The therapy originates from stem cell research and regenerative medicine.
But what characterizes the PRP method?
The Platelet-Rich Plasma method, or PRP method for short, involves blood collection, processing of autologous blood through centrifugation, and injection of platelet-rich blood into the facial skin.
The trick:
Unlike conventional lifting, no surgery is necessary.
Because the procedure is minimally invasive and outpatient. At the same time, the skin is not merely tightened, but the cause of skin aging is combated.
Thus, the platelet-rich autologous blood helps the body to produce connective tissue cells, also known as fibroblasts.
These in turn stimulate the formation of collagen and elastin. In addition to cell renewal, new vessels can form.
Similar regenerative approaches are also pursued by polynucleotides (salmon sperm), which can support skin renewal and collagen formation.
PRP treatment can be applied to the face, neck, décolleté and hands.
For dehydrated skin in the chest area, many patients also opt for a décolleté treatment with hyaluronic acid.
In addition, autologous blood is used to treat hair loss, such as circular hair loss, and to achieve a thicker hair structure.
In this context, PRP can stimulate stem cells in the hair roots and promote the formation of new blood vessels.
Patients can benefit from denser, stronger hair and a thicker scalp after treatment.
Scars and stretch marks as well as dark circles under the eyes can also be minimized. These can represent an emotional burden for those affected.
How are dark circles treated?
The fragile eye area can appear blue if there is a microcirculation disorder.
PRP stimulates circulation, making the skin appear firmer and more stable. This minimizes the blue discoloration.
Furthermore, PRP treatment is used in orthopedics and sports medicine.
For example, doctors inject PRP into elite athletes after an injury to activate the body's self-healing powers.
Thus, platelet-rich blood can support athletes in the regeneration phase and shorten recovery processes.
The method is considered particularly gentle and well-tolerated.
The reason:
No synthetic substances are used in the therapy.
Consequently, the risk of side effects and allergies is reduced. After all, autologous blood is a substance naturally found in the body.
What does the famous Vampire Lifting achieve?
With the Vampire Lifting method, it is possible to smooth wrinkles, treat dark circles under the eyes or optimize scars.
The Vampire Lifting as a Skinbooster can be applied to the scalp and improve hair structure.
The Vampire Lifting is a gentle treatment option.
For intensive hydration and improvement of skin quality, Profhilo is often used as well.
Autologous blood is considered well tolerated. Allergies and intolerances are almost impossible.
PRP treatment stimulates cell regeneration.
Autologous blood therapy promotes vascularization.
After the treatment, the face appears fresh and radiant.
Side effects rarely occur.
The treatment is fast and requires minimal aftercare.
There is no downtime.
Vampire Lifting – Treatment procedure
The first step is an intensive consultation at MY HEALTH AND BEAUTY.
The treating doctor examines the patient to determine the current condition of the skin.
Subsequently, the medical professional explains possible treatment paths and clarifies risks and side effects.
In addition, the doctor draws up a treatment plan and explains which effects are realistic and how aftercare proceeds.
On the day of the procedure, the doctor takes 4 to 5 ampoules of the patient's autologous blood (approx. 20 milliliters) and has it processed by experts through centrifugation.
The specialists separate the white from the red blood cells.
Now, carefulness is required.
The reason:
The blood platelets should remain intact so that the largest possible amount of living plasma is obtained.
To achieve this, special centrifuges are used that achieve an optimal angle and run out slowly. This prevents the platelets from clumping together.
The platelet-rich blood plasma is then injected into the facial skin using a fine needle. Typically, 20 milliliters of autologous blood yield approximately 4 to 5 milliliters of plasma.
The plasma can stimulate cell regeneration and encourage the formation of new vessels.
The new tissue creates a visible glow, making the facial skin radiate youthfulness. General anesthesia is usually not required. However, this can be arranged upon request.
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)
Supporting the body's repair mechanism: Blood contains blood platelets, which are thrombocytes.
Thrombocytes are considered growth factors and can stimulate the skin to form new cells and produce collagen.
Collagen acts as a supporting corset for the skin and keeps it elastic.
Moreover, collagen fibers serve as water reservoirs. In this way, the skin gains volume and appears plump and smooth.
If collagen production decreases, the skin loses elasticity. The first wrinkles form and make the face appear tired and sad.
By injecting platelet-rich blood, collagen production can be promoted and skin regeneration supported.
At the same time, pores can appear finer after the gentle treatment, improving the overall skin appearance.
Autologous blood therapy is therefore based on the isolation of thrombocytes. These are concentrated in a blood centrifuge.
The platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is then injected under the patient's skin, as already mentioned.
Vampire Lifting = PRP + Microneedling
PRP therapy alone cannot yet be called Vampire Lifting.
Because a true Vampire Lifting consists of two central components:
the PRP method and microneedling.
But what is microneedling practice?
Microneedling, also known as derma-acupuncture or needling, is also a minimally invasive anti-aging treatment for refining and smoothing facial skin.
The procedure can be performed by medical professionals or cosmetologists.
In addition, microneedling is suitable for treating the skin on the thighs, abdomen, or buttocks.
The medical professional creates micro-injuries to the patient's skin.
The organ is thus deliberately damaged to stimulate regenerative processes and promote the formation of matrix components such as collagen, elastin, or the body's own hyaluronic acid.
In this context, the skin is treated with a dermaroller or needling pen.
What role do matrix components play?
Collagen firms the skin, while elastin ensures suppleness and elasticity. Hyaluronic acid, in turn, maintains the skin's moisture content.
All three components create an even, smooth, and youthfully fresh complexion.
The needling devices contain fine needles that perforate the skin. They reach deep skin layers. The perforation creates fine channels.
These, in turn, persist for about 30 minutes and are excellently suited for introducing PRP into the subcutaneous tissue.
Upon request, the treating doctor can apply an anesthetic cream. In total, up to 60 minutes per session should be planned.
Both microneedling and the PRP method against hair loss can also be used for hair loss patients.
Also popular for incipient hair loss is mesotherapy for hair, which specifically supplies nutrients to the scalp.
Thus, perforation of the scalp can stimulate cell renewal.
Vampire Lifting leaves no scars
Many women ask themselves: What helps against wrinkles?
The answer:
Drugstore products generally have little effect.
Those who aim for a long-term improved skin structure can instead opt for cosmetic surgery, a filler injection or a skin injection with Botulinum toxin (Botox) .
All mentioned applications achieve comparable effects to Vampire Lifting. However, these come with a higher risk.
Since many fillers and Botulinum toxin are synthetic substances, allergic reactions cannot be ruled out.
Furthermore, the injection of Botulinum toxin requires sufficient experience.
Particularly common treatments involve forehead wrinkles, frown lines and crow's feet.
Otherwise, for example, facial paralysis can occur.
Although Botulinum toxin has a stronger tightening effect than Vampire Lifting, it can be worthwhile to opt for the autologous blood injection.
If microneedling and PRP injection are performed by an experienced medical professional, there is a very low risk of scarring.
It is important that patients consult an experienced doctor .
Interested parties should therefore pay attention during the initial consultation whether the medical professional plans sufficient time for a general examination and the examination of the skin areas.
The medical professional should address all patient questions. Furthermore, the doctor explains the treatment steps.
The Vampire Lifting has a twofold effect
Both microneedling and the PRP method can stimulate the body's self-healing powers and thus contribute to the formation of new cells.
Compared to creams that act on the skin surface and do not penetrate the lower skin layers, the Vampire Lifting reaches the dermis and introduces the active ingredients deep beneath the skin's surface.
As an anti-aging treatment, the Vampire Lifting can thus achieve visible effects by generating new collagen and elastin.
In addition, new vessel formation occurs in the short term. This means that the effect is quickly visible.
The result:
It's in my blood!
Admittedly:
Anyone undergoing a minimally invasive procedure to tighten the skin wants to see results as quickly as possible. Vampire Lifting also has a long-term effect.
The skin already has a beautiful glow after the procedure.
However, the entire healing process extends over several weeks, so patience is required.
Day 1 – the perfect glow
Immediately after the treatment, the skin can already appear youthful and firm.
At this time, however, swelling may still occur, which usually subsides within the next few hours.
On day 1, patients should rest and avoid strenuous activities.
Anyone who comes to the office the day after the procedure will notice a slight redness, which can optically be mistaken for a mild sunburn.
In addition, a slight pressure sensation may occur. The skin may also feel tight.
Day 2 – the healing phase begins
On the second day after treatment, the redness usually subsides. The feeling of tightness also reduces. However, itching may occur.
Because the skin is in the healing phase, which takes several weeks – but improvement should be seen day by day.
How much does Vampire Lifting cost?
On average, a Vampire Lifting session costs between 350 to 1,000 Euros.
Under certain circumstances, the price may be higher if large skin areas or multiple body parts are treated.
Generally, three sessions are completed. Those who book in a package often benefit from price advantages and save money.
The trick:
Our prices start from as little as €299.99 at all our locations. Since usually only one session is required, the total costs remain low and easily calculable.
What should be considered with Vampire Lifting?
After the Vampire Lifting, patients should carefully cool the skin areas.
This can prevent slight swelling and redness.
Furthermore, for 3 days, sports, sauna visits, facial peels, and face masks should be avoided.
Direct sun exposure should be avoided for fourteen days.
For this reason, it is not advisable to visit a solarium or have the treatment immediately before a summer vacation.
When is Vampire Lifting not suitable?
Basically, Vampire Lifting is suitable for women and men of all ages and all skin types.
There is also no risk of developing an allergy or intolerance, as it is an autologous substance.
The method is used to tighten wrinkles on the neck, décolleté or back of the hands, and to make scars and stretch marks disappear.
At the same time, PRP can be used to treat hair loss and optimize the nutrient supply to the hair follicles.
But be careful:
Vampire Lifting is not suitable for all patients. In the following cases, it is not possible:
- Pregnancy
- Breastfeeding
- General illnesses
- Autoimmune diseases
- Acute skin diseases such as psoriasis or neurodermatitis
- Liver diseases
- Tendency to keloids
- Rheumatism
- Hepatitis
- HIV
- Circulatory or coagulation disorders
Moreover, patients who rely on taking Ibuprofen, Voltaren, ASA, or Aspirin should refrain from Vampire Lifting.
If the procedure is still to be performed, the medication should be temporarily discontinued in consultation with the family doctor.
Are there risks with PRP therapy?
Firmer, tighter, rosier:
It's no coincidence that stars like Bar Rafaeli and Kim Kardashian swear by Vampire Lifting.
After all, the anti-wrinkle treatment is considered gentle and low-risk. However, anyone who saw Bar Rafaeli subsequently photographed with a bloody face might be skeptical.
Nevertheless:
PRP therapy does not necessarily have to result in a bloody outcome.
Nevertheless, it is possible to effectively treat wrinkles, achieve firmer skin, and avoid surgical intervention.
The advantage:
A cosmetic surgery involves risks – scars may form.
With Vampire Lifting, scarring rarely occurs, and the skin is effectively tightened and renewed.
Human skin tends to shed old cells over the years.
The Vampire Lifting activates the body's self-healing powers and stimulates cell regeneration.
Since no synthetic substances are injected, there is also no risk of an allergy or intolerance.
Furthermore, overcorrection is not possible. Because fillers are not used.
Nevertheless, side effects can occur.
These include:
- Swelling
- Redness
- Bruising
- Infections
How good are the results of Vampire Lifting?
First results can usually be observed after a few days to weeks. On average, effects can be seen after two weeks.
If the desired result was not achieved with the first treatment, another session can be considered.
But what exactly does Vampire Lifting achieve?
- Skin renewal
- Wrinkle smoothing
- Skin tightening
- Rejuvenation of skin structure
Many practices offer session packages that include three sessions.
Between each session, 4 to 6 weeks should pass to allow the skin sufficient time to regenerate.
Vampire Lifting before-and-after pictures illustrate the effect.
The tightening effect can last up to 1.5 years. However, experts recommend repeating the treatment annually to achieve optimal results.
Since it is not a filler, no volume is built up. Instead, fine wrinkles are smoothed by skin renewal.
