The "vampire facial" - who’s that for?

What exactly is the so-called "vampire facial" treatment?
The "vampire facial" has become extremely popular today, with positive reviews from celebrities and influencers, sharing their impressions and effects on social media. This intriguing description of "vampire facial" is in fact PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) mesotherapy, it is a regenerative treatment and not a surgery or aesthetic procedure. At Dr Parda Aesthetic Medicine Clinic, you will get your "vampire facial" done by experienced and well qualified doctors, who are able to achieve optimized skin elasticity improvement and visual rejuvenation effects.

What is platelet rich plasma?
As we have already mentioned before, "vampire facial" treatment involves injection of platelet rich plasma into the patient’s skin and thus it is an implementation of the autotransplantation concept, platelet rich plasma (PRP) is extracted from the patient’s own blood. Platelet rich plasma contains mainly such growth factors as proteins/peptides that contribute to cell stimulation and therefore to biological skin regeneration. Also, platelet rich plasma is an invaluable remedy in tissue healing and regeneration processes. PRP can also be defined as a small-volume autologic concentrate containing enormous quantities of life-giving platelets.

When to use a "vampire facial" treatment?
PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) mesotherapy is most commonly used for anti-aging results, as the injection of PRP stimulates production of new collagen and improves blood circulation within bodily tissues. Hyaluronic acid and collagen production decrease is responsible for the aging of the skin, which consequently leads to the development of wrinkles and visible thinning in specific areas. Regular "vampire facial" treatments will have a positive effect on the natural skin color, elasticity and texture.

What is the "vampire facial" treatment procedure?

This concentrate is then locally injected into the skin wherever it needs rejuvenation. The 100% safety guarantee is certainly an advantage of the "vampire facial", as well as no side effects: a preparation based on the patient’s own blood is biologically neutral, involving no risk of an allergic reaction.
