PRP or vampire therapy
What Is It and How Does It Work?
Vampire therapy is a medical procedure used in aesthetic medicine and other medical fields to improve the appearance and health of the skin and other tissues. The process involves taking a small amount of venous blood from the patient, after which the blood is centrifuged to separate its components. By centrifugation, red blood cells (erythrocytes) are separated from the plasma. Plasma that contains a higher concentration of platelets, hence the name “platelet-rich plasma”.
Platelets are cells that contain growth factors and other bioactive compounds that can contribute to the process of tissue regeneration and healing. By injecting concentrated platelet-rich plasma into selected areas of the skin or other tissues, the production of collagen and other substances important for the health and appearance of the skin can be stimulated.

Indications for Vampire Therapy for the Body
Body PRP is a suitable solution for multiple conditions and aesthetic needs, including:
Skin rejuvenation: Improving skin elasticity, texture and firmness. Scars and stretch marks: Attenuation of post-acne or post-surgical scars and reduction of the visibility of stretch marks. Muscle and joint injuries: Stimulating natural healing in case of sprains, tendonitis or other soft tissue injuries. Regeneration of skin affected by burns or wounds: Supporting the natural healing process and reducing remaining marks.
How Does the Procedure Work?
PRP therapy is based on the use of the patient's own plasma, which is rich in platelets and growth factors. These compounds play an essential role in stimulating the natural processes of regeneration, tissue repair and increasing collagen production in the treated area. Therapeutic plasma is obtained through a simple and controlled process.
The procedure takes an average of 30-45 minutes and requires no recovery time, allowing the patient to resume normal activities immediately.

1. Collection of blood – A small amount of blood is extracted, similar to that needed for usual analyses.
2. Centrifugation – The collected blood is subjected to centrifugation, separating the platelets to obtain concentrated plasma.
3. Activation of growth factors: Active factors are prepared for injection following strict medical protocols.
4. Administration in the treated area: The plasma is injected into the targeted area, where the regeneration and revitalization process begins.
Benefits of PRP Therapy
This therapy brings multiple advantages thanks to the use of the body's own resources:
An improvement in the appearance of the skin – While the effects are generally subtle, PRP can improve the appearance of the skin, giving it an overall healthy texture and glow. Reduction of wrinkles and fine lines – By stimulating collagen and elastin production and increasing blood flow to the treated areas, the procedure can help fill in wrinkles and fine lines. Stimulation of collagen and elastin production – Collagen and elastin are the two substances that keep skin firm and elastic, and PRP injections could help stimulate their production. Reducing the appearance of cellulite– PRP can help increase the production of collagen and elastin in the area of skin affected by cellulite, allowing for an improvement in its appearance.
