Process
This is how Dracula therapy works step by step
For information about each step, click on the step title.
During your initial consultation at Saint James Clinic, a doctor will evaluate your skin condition, including its texture, fine lines, unevenness, and any areas that may benefit from treatment. Based on this assessment, we will develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific skin concerns and aesthetic goals.
If the assessment indicates that treatment can be performed safely, the consultation and intervention may occur in a single session.
During the treatment, a small sample of blood is collected. This blood is then processed to separate the platelet-rich plasma using a specific procedure. After preparing the treatment area, the procedure is carried out according to the medical protocol suitable for the particular condition being addressed.
The procedure usually takes about 45–60 minutes.
After the treatment, you may experience mild redness, sensitivity, or minor bruising, which is usually temporary. 
A more youthful appearance of the skin may be noticeable within a few days, while significant improvements will gradually develop over the following weeks.
The treatment can enhance skin texture, improve overall appearance, and minimize fine wrinkles. Results vary based on individual starting condition.
After treatment, temporary redness, mild swelling, tenderness, or minor bleeding may occur, which typically resolves within a few days.
During the regeneration period, it is important to care gently for the skin, use sun protection, and adhere to the after-treatment steps recommended by the doctor.
The regeneration time and intensity of reactions can vary from person to person.

Natural effect, with medical safety
At Saint James Clinic, every aspect of Dracula therapy is grounded in medical precision, strict hygiene standards, and personalized planning. During the treatment, we utilize plasma derived from your own blood, which aids in supporting the skin's natural regeneration processes.
“Is the treatment painful?”
Before the treatment, the area is prepared, and local anesthesia is used if necessary, ensuring that the procedure is usually well tolerated. Most patients report only mild discomfort, experiencing sensations of tightness or tenderness rather than severe pain. However, individual experiences may vary from person to person.
“Will the result be too spectacular?”
The aim of Dracula Therapy is to support skin quality naturally. The results develop gradually, providing a fresher, more balanced overall effect without an artificial appearance.
“Are there any side effects?”
Temporary redness, slight swelling, tenderness, or bruising may occur after treatment. These usually subside quickly. The risk of infection is extremely low with proper hygiene and medical care.
“How long does the result last?”
The initial changes typically appear gradually, and improvements in skin quality develop at an individual pace. The longevity of the results depends on several factors, including the initial condition, lifestyle, and whether repeat or maintenance treatments are performed.

Questions and answers
Frequently asked questions about Dracula treatment
This therapy is a medical aesthetic treatment that utilizes natural regeneration processes. Common questions often arise regarding the treatment course, expected results, and the regeneration itself. Below, we provide concise, easy-to-understand answers to these inquiries.
What exactly is Dracula Therapy?
Dracula therapy, also referred to as PRP (platelet-rich plasma) treatment, involves drawing a small amount of blood from the patient. This blood is then processed to separate the platelet-rich plasma, which is subsequently applied to the targeted area. The aim of this treatment is to enhance the skin's natural regeneration processes and improve overall skin quality.
Is the treatment painful?
The treatment is generally well-tolerated, with most patients reporting mild discomfort, a feeling of tightness or tenderness rather than severe pain. Individual sensitivity and the area being treated will affect the exact experience.
When will the result be visible?
A fresher and more youthful appearance of the skin may become noticeable within a few days, while more dramatic changes typically occur gradually over the following weeks. When considering PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy, it's important to focus on natural, individual improvements rather than expecting sudden, dramatic transformations.
How long is the result?
The durability of results varies individually and depends on several factors, including the initial skin condition, lifestyle, and whether maintenance treatments are performed. Improvement often develops gradually rather than being immediate.
Will it change my face or make it too spectacular?
The goal of Dracula therapy is to naturally improve skin quality rather than alter facial features. When indicated appropriately, the results tend to be subtle, harmonious, and natural.
What side effects may occur?
After treatment, temporary redness, mild swelling, tenderness, or minor bruising may occur, but these effects usually subside shortly. Other less common reactions may also happen, so prior medical consultation and appropriate aftercare are essential.
When can I return to my daily routine?
Many patients can resume their normal daily activities quickly; however, it is advisable to plan with caution due to potential temporary sensitivity or bleeding following treatment. Recovery time can differ significantly among individuals.
Who is Dracula therapy not recommended for?
In certain situations, treatment may not be recommended or may only be advised with extreme caution. This is particularly true for individuals with specific blood clotting issues, certain autoimmune conditions, or other health factors. It is essential to make a safe decision based on a personal medical consultation.
