  • Over time, our body steadily loses collagen, which leads to a loss of skin texture and quality. Poly-lactic acid is a proven product for collagen stimulation that can bring about a significant improvement in skin quality. As a rule, the treatment must be carried out 2 to 3 times at intervals of 4 to 6 weeks. After this, a refresher treatment can be carried out every 2 years to maintain the result. As the effect of polylactic acid is based on the stimulation of the body's own collagen, the result is only visible after approx. 3 months.

  • Over time, our body steadily loses collagen, which leads to a loss of skin texture and quality. In addition, the face, like other parts of the body, often loses volume. Calcium hydroxyapatite is a proven product that can be used to stimulate collagen and restore volume. Calcium hydroxyapatite can be used to build up volume in the face, e.g. the jawline, cheeks or nasolabial folds. Other possible treatment areas are the neck, the décolleté, the buttocks or the back of the hands. The volume effect is immediately visible, but it takes approx. 3 months before the effect of collagen stimulation is visible.

  • During a vampire lift / treatment with PRP (platelet rich plasma), a small amount of blood is taken and processed in a centrifuge. The PRP obtained from this is then injected into the skin with a fine needle after prior superficial anaesthesia. Possible treatment areas include the face, neck, décolleté and back of the hands as well as stretch marks.

    The treatment stimulates collagen, which tightens the skin and improves skin quality and texture. The skin is rejuvenated and refreshed without the use of foreign materials. The treatment and therefore the result is completely natural, as no foreign substances are added. The skin appears firmer, fresher and rejuvenated. To maximise the effect, 3 treatments are recommended at intervals of 2 to 4 weeks, followed by annual top-up treatments. As the effect of PRP is based on the stimulation of the body's own collagen, the result is only visible after approx. 3 months.

  • Suitability

    The treatment is suitable for people who want to improve their skin texture and quality and benefit from collagen stimulation. If volume build-up is also desired, treatment with calcium hydroxyapatite is a proven option.

  • Consultation

    We will discuss your wishes and the possible options with you during a consultation. Treatment can also be combined with other products such as hyaluronic acid fillers or botulinum toxin. A precise treatment plan can be worked out together to achieve a beautiful result that fulfils your wishes.

  • Treatment

    An anaesthetic cream can be used to desensitise the area of skin to be treated. This makes the treatment almost painless. During treatment with PRP, a small amount of blood is first taken from a vein in the arm and then centrifuged. This step is omitted when treating with polylactic acid or calcium hydroxyapatite. The product is then injected into the areas to be treated using a cannula or a very fine needle.

  • Aftercare

    Poly-lactic acid:
    The treated area must be massaged 5 times a day for 5 minutes each time for 5 days. The results will not be visible until approximately 3 months later. Typically, 2 to 3 treatments are performed at intervals of 4 to 6 weeks. A follow-up examination can be scheduled upon request.

    Calcium hydroxyapatite:
    No specific follow-up care is necessary. If calcium hydroxylapatite is used for volume enhancement, the results are immediately visible. The treatment can be repeated if desired. If the product is used primarily for collagen stimulation, 2 to 3 treatments are typically administered at intervals of 8 to 12 weeks. A follow-up visit can be scheduled if desired.

    PRP / Vampire Lifting:
    No specific aftercare is necessary. The treated area may still be swollen, and bruising may occasionally occur, but this will go away on its own. The results will not be visible until approximately 3 months later. Typically, 2 to 3 treatments are performed at intervals of 4 to 6 weeks. A follow-up visit can be scheduled upon request.
