Vampire facelift / PRP in Stuttgart
Regeneration and tightening with the body's own plasma
PRP therapy (platelet-rich plasma), also known as the vampire facelift, is an innovative and effective method of natural skin rejuvenation. This minimally invasive treatment uses the body's own regenerative powers to improve skin structure, stimulate collagen production and lastingly refine the complexion. The targeted use of growth factors from your own blood promotes skin renewal, making it firmer, fresher and more resistant to external influences.
Especially with first fine lines, skin irregularities, a sallow complexion or tired, stressed skin, the vampire facelift offers a gentle but effective solution. It is not only used for skin rejuvenation on the face but can also be applied to the neck, décolleté and even the scalp to counteract hair loss. Thanks to its natural mode of action and the avoidance of synthetic active ingredients, this treatment is also ideally suited to sensitive skin types. No wonder the PRP procedure is now regarded as an integral part of aesthetic medicine and is becoming increasingly popular.

Reasons for a vampire facelift
Unlike filler treatments, which build volume or fill wrinkles in a targeted way, the vampire facelift has a regenerative effect. It strengthens the skin from within and improves its structure, elasticity and moisture supply. PRP therapy is equally suitable for young and mature skin, whether for prevention or for the targeted treatment of skin aging and hair loss.
Thanks to its skin-strengthening and cell-activating properties, the face as well as the neck, décolleté and scalp benefit from the treatment. PRP can also strengthen the hair roots and stimulate hair growth – an effective method for preventing and treating hair loss.
Individual consultation before PRP treatment
Every skin is individual, which is why a comprehensive consultation before the treatment is essential. In the personal consultation, skin type, treatment goals and possible areas of application are discussed. Alternative or combined procedures may also make sense to optimize the desired result. A careful analysis ensures that PRP therapy is tailored as well as possible to individual needs.
How the vampire facelift PRP treatment works
PRP therapy uses the regenerative properties of your own blood to improve skin structure in the long term. The targeted injection of processed blood plasma, which contains a high concentration of growth factors, activates the skin's natural healing processes. These growth factors stimulate the production of collagen and elastin – two essential proteins responsible for the firmness, elasticity and youthfulness of the skin.
After injection of the platelet-rich plasma, cell metabolism in the treated skin layers is stimulated. This leads to improved blood circulation, increased cell renewal and deep hydration of the skin. At the same time, PRP promotes the regeneration of damaged skin cells and helps the skin repair itself. The effect is a visible rejuvenation of the skin, which looks not only fresher but also plumper and firmer.
The effect of PRP therapy is also clearly evident on the scalp. Stimulating the hair follicles encourages hair growth, which is a valuable treatment option especially for hair loss. As only the body's own material is used, the procedure is particularly well tolerated and almost risk-free.
The vampire facelift PRP treatment procedure
The treatment is carried out on an outpatient basis and takes about 30 to 45 minutes. After thoroughly cleansing the skin, an anesthetic cream is applied to minimize any discomfort. A small amount of blood is then taken and processed in a special centrifuge. In the process, the valuable growth factors are isolated from the platelets, while red blood cells are removed.
The plasma obtained is then injected into the treated skin areas using very fine needles. This immediately stimulates collagen production and skin regeneration. As the fine injections cause tiny micro-bleeds, the term “vampire facelift” has become established, as the skin can appear red for a short time.
Cost of PRP treatment in Stuttgart
The costs of a vampire facelift vary depending on the treatment area and start from €350 per session. To achieve optimal results, at least three sessions four weeks apart are recommended. An exact estimate of the individual costs is given in the consultation.
Risks and side effects
As only the body's own plasma is used, the risk of intolerances or allergic reactions is minimal. Immediately after the treatment, slight redness, swelling or a slight feeling of tightness may occur, which subside within a few days. Sporting activities should be paused for about a week. Careful skin care and avoiding direct sunlight in the first few days support the healing process.
Frequently asked questions (FAQ) about PRP treatment (vampire facelift) in Stuttgart
Which areas can be treated with PRP?
In principle, PRP therapy can be used on various parts of the body. It is particularly effective in areas that are exposed to environmental influences such as sunlight or cold and have a thinner skin structure. Frequently treated regions are the face, especially the lower eyelids, the mouth area, forehead and cheeks, as well as the décolleté.
Another area of application is the scalp, as PRP stimulates hair growth. This method is particularly suitable for incipient hair loss or to support the hair roots after a hair transplant.
Is PRP treatment painful?
Most patients find the treatment well tolerated. Before the injection, an anesthetic cream is applied that significantly reduces the sensation of pain. As a result, the procedure is usually barely noticeable and can be carried out comfortably.
How can I prepare for the treatment?
Come to the treatment without make-up and with cleansed skin. If you have recently had an intensive skin treatment such as a peel or laser therapy, or if there is currently inflammation in the treatment area, PRP therapy should be postponed. In addition, blood-thinning medications such as aspirin or heparin should be stopped at least two weeks before the treatment to minimize possible bruising.
What should I bear in mind after the treatment?
After PRP therapy, slight swelling, redness or small bruises may occur temporarily, which usually subside quickly. To avoid inflammation, make-up should not be worn for at least 48 hours. It is also advisable to avoid direct sunlight, solariums and saunas in the first few days. After a few days, the skin can be cared for as usual again.
How many sessions are needed for an optimal result?
As PRP therapy stimulates the skin's natural regeneration and collagen production, several treatments are required to achieve a long-term effect. At least three sessions four weeks apart are recommended in order to optimally promote cell activity and stabilize the results in the long term.
When are the first results visible?
As the effect is based on natural regeneration processes, it takes a few weeks for visible improvements to appear. By the second session at the latest, i.e. about eight weeks after the start of treatment, clear changes usually appear, such as improved skin structure, more firmness or stronger hair roots.
How long does the result last?
After completion of the full treatment cycle, the effect usually lasts for over 12 months. As the skin continues to be exposed to natural aging processes and environmental influences, regular top-up treatments make sense to keep the skin healthy and firm in the long term.
