MedVital Gesundheitsresidenz
The human desire for beauty and aesthetics can be traced back through all ages and cultures. In recent years, improvements in technology and materials have led to the increasing spread and popularity of aesthetic treatments. In particular, gentle skin rejuvenation measures without surgical intervention are becoming increasingly important worldwide.
The aims of treatment have increasingly expanded and instead of just reducing wrinkles, an overall concept is being pursued which aims to harmonise the appearance with a naturally vibrant and fresh radiance.
PRP Lifting - Vampire Lifting
PRP lifting, also known as plasma lifting or vampire lifting, utilises the body’s own growth factors contained in blood plasma as a beauty elixir for skin rejuvenation, wrinkle reduction and pore refinement.
A small amount of blood is taken from the arm vein. The PRP (platelet rich plasma), which is rich in platelets, proteins and growth factors, is then extracted by special centrifugation.
The PRP is injected into the skin tissue of the face, neck, décolleté or the back of the hand using a thin needle, depending on the desired treatment. The cell-renewing and regenerating effect is based on the stimulation of the self-healing and repairing powers as well as the support of the body’s own production of hyaluronic acid, elastin and collagen.
PRP can also be injected using a multi-injector as an option. In this application, the plasma is injected simultaneously with up to 9 needles in a special applicator.
This therapy is well tolerated. As the patient’s own blood and no foreign or synthetic substances are used, the likelihood of allergic reactions or intolerances is minimised.
Unicorn Lifting
The unicorn lift is an extension of the plasma lift. Here too, the patient’s own blood is used to give the skin on the face, neck, décolleté or back of the hand a vitalised, healthier and relaxed appearance.
Unlike PRP lifting, the collected blood is then incubated for 6 hours before being centrifuged. This heating process activates the blood cells and, compared to PRP therapy, releases even more growth factors, which are injected with the multi-injector after preparation by centrifugation and filtering.
The skin looks visibly plumper, smoother and fresher shortly after application. This effect continues to unfold over the following weeks.
To support this cell regenerative process in the following days, we offer a personalised skin cream if you are interested. This is made exclusively for you from your plasma concentrate, enriched with high-quality skincare ingredients.
Treatment with polynucleotide
Polynucleotides are increasingly used in aesthetic medicine and promise better results in skin rejuvenation. Polynucleotides are polymers composed of nucleotides that stimulate the production of collagen and other proteins in the skin, which can improve skin texture, firmness and elasticity:
- Polynucleotides improve overall skin quality
- They delay cell degradation
- They promote the production of collagen and elastin through fibroblast stimulation and moisturise the tissue
Treatment with botulinum toxin
Botulinum toxin temporarily blocks nerve transmission in the muscles. The muscles relax, resulting in a smoothing of the skin and a reduction in the depth of wrinkles within 1-2 weeks.
Frown lines, forehead and eye area (crow’s feet) are the classic areas of application. Patients with migraines or teeth grinding also often find that their symptoms improve significantly after treatment with botulinum toxin.
Treatments with hyaluronic acid
Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in the body that binds moisture in the form of water and is therefore responsible for the skin’s natural elasticity and firmness. With age, the body’s own production of hyaluronic acid is reduced, resulting in skin dryness and wrinkles.
In aesthetic medicine, we have high and low cross-linked hyaluronic acid preparations at our disposal, which can compensate for volume deficits of different sizes depending on the indication and the desired texture and density. In order to improve the facial contour and achieve a naturally fresh appearance, the fillers are often used for nasolabial folds (nasolabial folds), marionette lines (corner of the mouth) and lip contouring, but also for neck and décolleté wrinkles.
