Throughout history, people have sought the answer to the question: what is the secret of eternal beauty?
Many well-known individuals, both locally and globally, have named PRP plasma therapy—also known as cellular rejuvenation—as their best so-called "beauty hack."
Vampire Facial, or PRP Plasma Therapy, is one of the most talked-about anti-aging treatments of this decade.
The name “Vampire Facial” may sound a bit unusual, but it is gaining increasing popularity. Instead of using unnatural substances to reduce signs of aging and tighten the skin, this procedure harnesses the powerful natural healing ability of your own platelet-rich blood.
During the treatment, 10–20 ml of blood is drawn from the patient, and a centrifuge is used to separate the platelet-rich plasma (PRP) from the red blood cells. The purified and enriched plasma is then injected into problematic areas, initiating a regeneration process that promotes the formation of new stem cells. In the deeper layers of the skin, the production of collagen, hyaluronic acid, and elastin is significantly stimulated, leading to improved microcirculation—resulting in younger, firmer skin with a more even and radiant complexion.
PRP Plasma Therapy is most commonly used on the face, neck, and décolletage. It is an effective method for reducing wrinkles, sagging skin, pigmentation spots, scars, and stretch marks. Additionally, PRP therapy can be used to stimulate hair growth.

Results
Plasma therapy is an excellent way to maintain and enhance your beauty. Results appear quickly—visible within a few weeks after the procedure—but final results can be assessed after 3–6 sessions. It is recommended to repeat the procedure at 2–4 week intervals.
PRP therapy is particularly effective when combined with microneedling, as open microchannels in the skin allow PRP to absorb deeply and superficially.
It is also beneficial to combine plasma therapy with other treatments such as mesotherapy, biorevitalization, chemical peels, IPL photorejuvenation, and dermal fillers.
