What suits my skin?

PRP or Skinbooster

More and more women are looking for natural methods of skin improvement – without artificial overcorrection, but with visible effect. Two very popular treatments for this are:

  • PRP (“Vampire Lift”)
  • Skinbooster with non-crosslinked hyaluronic acid

Both procedures strengthen the skin from within, improving firmness, hydration, and radiance. However, they work in different ways – and are suited to different skin needs.

In this article, you’ll find out which therapy is right for your skin, when PRP or Skinbooster makes sense – and why your individual skin condition is crucial.

 What is PRP – and how does it work?

PRP stands for Platelet Rich Plasma, which is platelet-rich plasma obtained from your own blood. The growth factors and cytokines it contains activate:

  • Cell regeneration
  • Collagen production
  • Microcirculation in the skin

PRP is especially useful for:

  • Dull, sallow, or rough skin texture
  • Early wrinkles & skin laxity
  • Pigmentation irregularities
  • Acne scars or coarse-pored skin

What is a Skinbooster – and when does it help?

Skinboosters are micro-injected depots of non-crosslinked hyaluronic acid. They provide deep-acting hydration and improved elasticity without altering facial features.

Ideal for:

  • Dry, dehydrated skin
  • Loss of firmness from sun or aging
  • Preventive starting at age 30+
  • Especially in the cheek area, neck, or décolleté

What’s the difference – and what suits you?

Skin Longevity instead of superficial treatments

In our practice, we combine aesthetics with science – and choose each treatment individually. Under the motto “Harmony of Aesthetics”, skin health is our focus, not quick fixes.

  • Individual skin analysis & consultation
  • Laboratory diagnostics if needed (e.g., zinc, ferritin, vitamin D)
  • Combination treatments possible (PRP + booster)

Conclusion: Which therapy is right?

If you…

  • have acne scars, tired skin, or uneven texture → PRP
  • have dryness-related fine lines or loss of skin radiance → Skinbooster
  • want long-term skin quality → Diagnostics + combination therapy
