PRP / Vampire Lift (Platelet-Rich Plasma)

Platelet-rich plasma uses a small sample of your own blood, spun to concentrate its platelets and growth factors, which is then injected to stimulate skin repair and rejuvenation. Because it is autologous — derived entirely from you — it is well tolerated and a natural option for improving skin quality on the face, neck and décolletage, or for supporting the scalp. A short course gives the most noticeable results.

PRP (platelet-rich plasma), sometimes called a vampire lift, is a regenerative treatment that harnesses 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 associated with tissue repair and collagen production. This concentrated plasma is then injected into the skin to support tone, texture and firmness. At Wegner Clinic 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 an allergic reaction 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 build gradually as the skin remodels over several weeks, so a short course spaced a few weeks apart is usual, with occasional maintenance afterwards. PRP can be used on the face, neck and décolletage, on the scalp to support hair, and on other body areas priced according to the surface treated. It can also be combined with microneedling for a stronger effect. Suitability is assessed at consultation; PRP is not performed during pregnancy or in certain blood or clotting conditions.
