“Vampire Lifting” – Does It Work?

You may remember my blog Rejuvenation a la Countess Dracula in which I talked about the historical countess Erzsébet Nádasdy (nee Báthory in 1560), who fell in love with a young officer at the mature age of 50, or thereabouts.

She found out by chance that a young girl’s blood that got splattered on her rejuvenated her facial skin, so she soon started taking baths in the blood of murdered girls. She was indeed rejuvenated, began introducing herself to him as her own daughter Ilona, who was held captive by her, and making him fall in love with her. You can read the whole exciting story on my blog.

Today we know that fresh blood contains tissue hormones and growth factors, which really can rejuvenate the skin when these tissue hormones are introduced into the skin with microneedles. For this purpose, PRP (platelet-rich plasma), is obtained, having impressive rejuvenation effects. Some call this treatment “vampire lifting”.

PRP works particularly well when it is combined with autologous stem cells from fat tissue or bioidentical hormones (Hormonal Regeneration®).

Just as in the story about Erzsébet, the treatment has to be repeated regularly to achieve long-lasting results. However, we do not need to use the blood of virgins. Your own blood is good enough.
