Vampire Facelift in Basel: What the treatment can achieve – and what it cannot

Many people come with a wish that is hard to put into words: the face looks tired, the skin is losing its radiance, and the eye area appears exhausted. In such cases, a “vampire facelift” is a sensible option—provided the goal is a subtle result.

PRP improves skin structure, texture, and regeneration. It does not restore volume or lift sagging skin like a surgical procedure. Understanding this leads to a better decision.

For comparison:

During the consultation, we will openly review these options. If another method is better suited to your goal, we will let you know.

Frequently asked questions about the Vampire Facelift in Basel.

How much does a vampire facelift cost in Basel?
At the CSP practice, costs start at CHF 400 per session. The exact price depends on the treatment area, the technique used, and the individual treatment plan. If you are planning multiple sessions, it is best to discuss this during your consultation; this allows for a realistic estimate of the total cost. We deliberately do not offer flat-rate packages without a prior skin analysis, as doing so would not be professional.

How many sessions do I need?
To achieve visible, lasting improvements, we often plan a series of three sessions spaced several weeks apart. The appropriate number of sessions depends on the condition of your skin, your age, your lifestyle, and your specific goals. Subsequent touch-up treatments are determined based on individual needs. In some cases, a single treatment is sufficient to provide a regenerative boost—we discuss this openly beforehand.

Is a vampire facelift painful?
A numbing cream is applied to the treatment areas beforehand to significantly reduce sensitivity. Most patients describe the injection as a sensation of pressure or a slight stinging. Experience shows that the eye area is more sensitive than the cheeks, neck, or décolleté. Patients with particular sensitivity can mention this in advance, and we will adjust the preparation accordingly.

When will I see the first results?

Many notice a fresher, more rested appearance after just a few days—the skin looks more even-toned and less dull. Actual structural improvements develop over the course of weeks, as collagen production and regeneration are biological processes that require time. In a series of treatments, the sessions build upon one another to sustain the results. We will discuss what kind of progress is realistic for your skin during the consultation.

Can I go straight to work after the treatment?

In most cases, yes—the vast majority of patients return to their daily routine that same day. Redness, mild swelling, or minor bruising may occur, but these symptoms usually subside within a few days. Makeup should be avoided on the day of treatment, as the skin needs time to rest immediately after the procedure. If you have an important appointment or public appearance coming up, it is best to schedule the treatment with a sufficient buffer of time beforehand.

What is the difference between a vampire facelift and hyaluronic acid fillers?

Vampire facelifts improve skin structure, texture, and regeneration; they utilize the body’s own material to stimulate skin renewal. Hyaluronic acid fillers, on the other hand, are suitable for adding volume, defining contours, and treating deeper wrinkles. Both methods serve different purposes, though in some cases, they can be effectively combined. Determining which option is best for you requires a precise analysis of your skin condition and treatment goals.

Is a vampire facelift safe?

Since PRP is derived from the patient’s own blood, there is no risk of allergic reactions to foreign substances—a risk inherent in synthetic materials. Potential reactions such as redness, a sensation of pressure, or minor bruising are temporary and typically resolve within a few days. We systematically screen for contraindications—such as the use of blood thinners, active infections, clotting disorders, or autoimmune diseases—prior to every treatment. If the situation is unclear, we postpone the appointment or advise against the procedure.

Who performs the vampire facelift at the CSP practice?

At the CSP practice in Basel, the “vampire facelift” is performed by qualified specialists under the medical supervision of Prof. PD Dr. med. Frank Serge Lehmann. He brings extensive clinical experience and an academic background to the practice. All practitioners possess practical experience in aesthetic medicine, PRP, botulinum toxin, and minimally invasive procedures. You can find information about the entire team on the CSP practice’s “About Us” page.

For whom is the vampire facelift not suitable?

A “Vampire Facelift” alone is rarely the right choice in cases of significant excess skin, deep wrinkles, or pronounced mid-face volume loss. In such instances, we openly discuss alternatives: hyaluronic acid fillers, Profhilo, thread lifts, or surgical facial procedures. Certain medical conditions, medications, or skin issues may also rule out PRP treatment. We provide an honest assessment of this during your consultation.

Is the CSP practice accessible to patients from Germany or France?

The CSP practice is located at Gerbergasse 53 in Basel—centrally situated and easily accessible from South Baden, Alsace, and the entire Northwestern Switzerland region. Many patients specifically travel from the border triangle area because they are looking for a practice that combines medical expertise with aesthetic experience. The team is multilingual, offering services in German, English, French, Italian, and Spanish. You can conveniently book an appointment online via the contact form or by phone.
