Vampire® PRP Response
Hi,
Thank you for your enquiry.
Platelet Rich Plasma
The use of Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) is not new; it has long been recognised for it’s accelerated wound healing properties in such applications as surgery and sports injuries.
This technology is now being used for cosmetic enhancement with outstanding results.
PRP is a bio active stimulator using cells derived from your own blood, these are then re-injected into the your tissues to stimulate the development of new cells in the target area.
Creating Platelet Rich Plasma - Isolating and injecting the magic into your blood
After your consultation and within a matter of minutes, we can create autologous, which means from you to you, PRP and activate your stem cells for the Vampire FaceLift®, Vampire Facial®, Vampire BreastLift®, Vampire Scar Treatment® and Vampire Hair Restoration®.
Here’s how:
First, we draw about 10-20 mls of blood.
Then, using a centrifuge, we isolate platelets from that blood (platelet-rich plasma or PRP), this occurs within 10-15 minutes after your consultation here in our office.
We then “activate” those platelets to cause the release of at least 8 growth factors that would normally be used to heal injured tissue.
These growth factors are then injected back into the face, breast, scar tissue and scalp, in a particular way that activates multi-potent stem cells already in these tissues (tricking them into “thinking” there’s been an injury), thereby stimulating growth of new collagen, new blood vessels, and new fatty tissue trying to “repair” the tissue that was never injured. In the scalp, there is stimulation in the growth of hair follicles. The result… younger-appearing skin, fuller breasts, reduced scar tissue and increased hair growth. The effects of the procedure improve for 2 to 3 months and with the Vampire FaceLift® and Vampire Facial® last 9 months to 2 years.
Activating 8 Growth Factors Vampire Facial® and Facelift®
Platelet-rich plasma is similar to HA fillers because it can be injected to sculpt the face.
But, here’s the best part: not only does the PRP cause an increase in the volume, PRP contains at least 8 growth factors that will over a long period of time, continually work like a rejuvenating agent.
By activating these growth factors, all 3 parts of the aging process improve:
The skin color becomes a “younger” color because of new blood vessel formation.
New collagen formations in the dermis lifts the face back to a more youthful shape.
Because the growth factors are working to build a new dermis, the epidermis (the outer most layers of your skin) appears smoother.
Who can perform these treatments?
Only doctors who are NZ Registered Medical Practitioners, in good standing with the New Zealand Medical Council, and have undergone and passed the rigorous Vampire® training course, are licensed and sanctioned to perform all the Vampire Procedures®. Dr Morunga an experienced Cosmetic Physician who has performed over 10,000 cosmetic treatments has met all of these criteria.
