PRP Vampire Lifting (Platelet-Rich Plasma)

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) vampire lifting treatment using the patient's own blood-derived growth factors to stimulate collagen production and skin rejuvenation. The concentrated PRP is injected or applied in combination with microneedling to improve skin texture, fine lines, and overall radiance. Offered at Schönheitsklinik Dr. Funk in Munich with no risk of allergic reaction as the product is autologous.

Platelet-Rich Plasma treatment — marketed at Schönheitsklinik Dr. Funk under the 'Vampir-Lifting' branding — is a bio-regenerative injectable therapy using a concentrated preparation of the patient's own platelets and growth factors to stimulate tissue repair and collagen synthesis. The procedure begins with a standard venous blood draw; the blood is then centrifuged to separate the platelet-rich plasma fraction from red blood cells and platelet-poor plasma. The resulting PRP concentrate contains a supraphysiological concentration of platelets — typically three to five times the baseline level — along with a dense array of growth factors including platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), epidermal growth factor (EGF), and insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1). When injected intradermally or applied topically following microneedling to enhance dermal penetration, these growth factors stimulate fibroblast proliferation, new collagen and elastin synthesis, and angiogenesis — collectively improving skin firmness, texture, hydration, and radiance over the weeks following treatment. Because PRP is derived entirely from the patient's own blood, there is no risk of allergic reaction or immune rejection — a key advantage over synthetic skin boosters or collagen stimulators. The treatment is well established in aesthetic medicine in Germany and is particularly popular for facial rejuvenation, under-eye dark circles and hollowing, hair loss (when injected into the scalp), and as an adjunct to other procedures such as laser resurfacing or surgical procedures. At Schönheitsklinik Dr. Funk in Munich, PRP is offered as a standalone injectable treatment and as a combination therapy within broader facial rejuvenation programmes. Munich-area market rates for PRP range approximately €300–€500 per session; a course of three sessions spaced four to six weeks apart is typically recommended for optimal results.
