What is the vampire facelift?
Cosmocare offers prp therapy at 699 AED (5 sessions) in Dubai. PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy) or the vampire facelift is so called because your own blood is taken and after separation of different constituents, the plasma with the platelets is reinjected into the skin. PRP has a long history of being used in regenerative medicine, dentistry, and reconstructive surgery, and now its benefits are being applied to other fields of medicine such as dermatology and cosmetology as this plasma is rich in platelets (platelet-rich plasma or PRP) and it contains growth factors which stimulate skin regeneration.
Platelets has growth factors which release stem cells, increasing collagen formation, skin-tightening and overall rejuvenation. Due to all these benefits, it is also called ‘Facial Stem Cell Regeneration’ therapy. It also help to regenerate hair and make thinner hair thicker for the individuals who have lost hair and visible bald patch.

The PRP for hair loss procedure performed by Dr. Murtuza is accomplished in a manner quite different to that of other doctors. To begin with, Dr. Murtuza uses a special set of photographs to do his initial evaluation. These photos allow for a detailed pre- and post-procedure evaluation, so both the patient and doctor can assess the results. Then the blood draw and taken in sterile tube, which is then centrifuge to separate plasma from red blood cell. The entire region to be treated is then numbed using a local anesthetic. Although these initial injections are felt by the patient, most people find them very easily tolerated and the rest of the procedure is pain free to mild discomfort.

How is the vampire facelift done?
This cutting-edge rejuvenation treatment is a quick 20-30 minute procedure. A small amount of blood is drawn from the patient and placed in a sterile tube. Collected blood is spun down in a centrifuge at a pre-calculated speed for 8 to 10 minutes to separate the different components of the blood.
Red and white blood cells are divided from the platelets and the plasma (the clear fluid). This plasma now contains a higher than normal number of precious platelets, nearly fivefold. The separated platelets are then activated with calcium chloride, to release more growth factors.
Local anaesthesia is given and the platelet-rich plasma is injected into the appropriate areas with very small needles.
