PRP

PRP – Synonyms & Principle

synonyms: blood plasma, vampire lift

principle: natural regeneration & freshness through own blood components, activation of stem cells

is often combined with…

• hyaluronic acid
• blood plasma
• operations such as eyelid lift, facelift, etc.

efficiency

the effect is difficult to measure – e.g. in mm

freshness and regeneration is in the foreground of the effect

What you should NOT expect from PRP on a larger scale is:

• volume
• moisture
• tightening

treatment duration

On average, a PRP treatment takes 30-45 minutesIt takes a certain amount of time from the blood collection – through the preparation of the blood – to the appropriate administration

repetition of the treatment

It is generally recommended after a few weeks treatment with PRP repeat and thus boost the effect.

After that, distances in the range half a year to a year sensible.

Application in which body region

In principle, treatment with PRP is possible anywhere on the body

PRP is often used in these regions

• side of the eye/temple/brow
• cheek/middle face
• neck (often combined with hyaluronic acid)
• back of the hand

decision-making aids

Essentially, these are fundamental decisionsthat make up a PRP treatment.

Should I have a treatment with blood plasma/PRP do it at all? – Sometimes it is better not to do something at all.

Good advice highlights all the advantages and disadvantages of a treatment – and thus helps you make the right decision.

best regions:

• are the regions where freshness and regeneration are important – these are, for example, eyebrows, middle face, cheeks, neck and décolleté, lower eyelid area
• or regions where growth and regeneration or pigment changes are involved – such as hair roots, scars, lower eyelid region, etc.

duration of action

in most cases several months to about a year plus/minus – after that, a refresher should be applied for maximum effect. The first time, a refresher after a few weeks is recommended

where not? – or perhaps only as a supplement

• Botox is usually more useful for mimic wrinkles
• For volume and moisture, hyaluronic acid is usually better
• For repositioning and tightening, eyelid lift, facelift, eyebrow lift etc. are usually more interesting

Every treatment is different: In my opinion, individual adjustment to the face and its anatomy is crucial for maximum harmony and balance. That is why individual advice is so important!

What should you have heard/read before a PRP treatment?

bruises and swelling: are almost always an issue, as many small punctures are made. However, the regression is usually accelerated by the growth factors. For those who are particularly sensitive, we also offer the plasma "gun". It has a very fine needle that vibrates - and is therefore usually perceived as less painful - and can also be a little more gentle.

Prejudices

PRP can do anything

facts

PRP is really very well suited for some indications and can also be combined very well. But for some areas there is simply something more effective and therefore for some it is better. PRP always works in a very delicate area, will never create too much volume or freeze faces - but for some patients and wishes the effect is then too delicate

most common possible side effects/complications

Actually, not much can happen with PRP, as it is really just your own material – of course, the following are possible:

• Swelling and bruising (and possible pigment changes)
• infection
• more effect expected (precise desire analysis is important!)

details Information on possible complications can be found in the information documents

In summary, good preparation (information, explanation, preliminary examinations, analysis, etc.) and the experience of the practitioner as well as the preparation and quantity are important factors for the success of a vampire lift (blood plasma treatment)

You should avoid…

• PRP as a solution for everything

anesthesia

no anesthesia necessary

possibly local anesthetic cream

possibly plasma gun for gentler application

the treatment

no blood thinning for 7-10 days before treatment

the treatment

• protect the treated area
• sun protection
• no ice from the refrigerator (reduces the effect!)

our preferred technique/recommendation

• We usually use PRP as a supplement to other injections (Botox and hyaluronic acid)
• PRP can also be mixed and administered directly with hyaluronic acid and then also works towards moisture and delicate volume
• PRP to strengthen hair roots in case of hair loss
• PRP as preparation for a hair transplant or to strengthen the hair roots a few months after the hair transplant
• possibly local anesthetic cream before treatment, possibly mild painkillers before treatment

Cost

from 450 – depending on the actual quantity and effort

reasonable budget

Basically, you always determine the price or your budget yourself. Depending on the quantity and quality of the material used, the price range is from – to

A final cost estimate is only possible and meaningful after a detailed on-site inspection and clarification of individual wishes.

downtime

In general, a few days protection be taken into account

Usually, no real downtime is to be planned – but this can of course vary from person to person – every needle prick can theoretically lead to a bruise or swelling – and this always more or less severe

If a PRP treatment is planned before a weekend, there is usually not much swelling or bruising to be seen after the weekend,

A slightly less effective but gentler option is needling and subsequent application of blood plasma (these photos are often seen on Instagram) – normally, swelling or bruising is hardly to be expected

Important to know…

PRP is a very good addition to the facial area

good for scars

and also for hair loss
