Platelet-Rich Plasma (Vampire Lift)

Platelet-rich plasma uses a small sample of your own blood, spun to concentrate its platelets and growth factors, which is then injected to support skin repair and rejuvenation. Because it is derived entirely from you, it is well tolerated and a natural option for improving skin quality, including the delicate area under the eyes. The clinic offers face, neck and combined protocols, and a short course gives the most noticeable results.

PRP (platelet-rich plasma), sometimes called a vampire lift, is a regenerative skin treatment that uses your own blood's healing components. A small sample is drawn and spun in a centrifuge to separate and concentrate the platelets, which are rich in growth factors that signal tissue repair and collagen production. This concentrated plasma is then injected into the skin to support tone, texture and firmness, and at Diamond Estetic it is offered for the face, neck, décolletage and targeted areas such as the tear trough, smoker's lines and the lips. The process — blood draw, preparation and treatment — takes around forty-five to sixty minutes, with numbing cream applied for comfort. Because the material is entirely your own, there is no risk of allergy to a foreign substance, which makes PRP a popular choice for patients who prefer a natural approach. Expect mild redness or small bruises for a day or two. Results are associated with a gradual improvement as collagen remodels over several weeks, so a course of around three sessions spaced four to six weeks apart is commonly recommended, with maintenance once or twice a year. PRP is well suited to dull or tired skin, fine lines and the thin, crêpey skin under the eyes, and can be combined with other skin treatments the clinic offers. Suitability is assessed beforehand; it is not performed in pregnancy or in certain blood or clotting conditions.
