Platelet-Rich-Plasma (PRP)

Skin Rejuvenation with Collagen Induction Therapy with PRP

Platelet-Rich-Plasma (PRP) facial rejuvenation is also known as a “natural filler, and when treatments are completed in combination with collagen induction therapy, this is known as the “Vampire Facial.” PRP non-surgical treatments naturally stimulates our body’s own collagen production. The high concentration of platelets release growth factors that trigger stem cell production stimulating tissue regeneration by responding to tissue injury and initiating the healing process. This will improve skin texture and decreases fine lines & wrinkles. . There is minimal downtime & discomfort with virtually no risk of allergies or sensitivity. Treatments are completed with Registered Practitioners who are certified in Aesthetics. 

Treatment Time: 45 mins - 60 mins

FAQs

  • Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) science is a remarkable aesthetic treatment completed using an FDA & Health Canada-approved system known as the “Eclipse PRP,” by Crown Aesthetics. The Eclipse PRP is a completely closed centrifuge autologous system with superior patented technology using a single spin technology that saves time & allows practitioners to prepare point-of-care treatments. PRP treatments with this system produce 1.6 billion platelets per dose, maximizes mononuclear cells, & optimize healing growth.

    • Hereditary & autoimmune disorders causing hair loss/thinning such as:

      • Androgenetic Areata

        • Disorder of the hair follicles caused by excessive production of androgen which shortens the growth phase of hair follicles producing shorter, & thinner hair

      • Alopecia areata

        • An autoimmune disease causing the immune system to attack hair follicles during the growth phase leading to sudden hair shedding and inhibition of hair regrowth

    • Stimulates cell production

  • Individuals ages 18 to 65 yrs old in good overall health. PRP has been clinically proven to promote hair growth for individuals experiencing hair loss or thinning and repair damaged skin by improving the integrity of the epidermis by boosting cellular growth and collagen production.

    • PRP injections are contraindicated in the following individuals:

      • No active hair follicles (ie. bald)

      • Severe skin disorders

      • Hepatitis C positive

      • HIV or AIDS

      • Cardiovascular disease that requires taking a blood thinner

      • Active skin cancer

      • Severe anemia

      • Low platelet count

      • Abnormal platelet function

      • Active systemic infection

      • Excessive cigarette smoking

  • During each PRP procedure, the areas of the skin or scalp being treated are anesthetized using a topical numbing cream known as lidocaine. This ensures that the treatment is well tolerated and comfortable. Sensitivity and pain tolerance varies for each individual and some treatment areas may be more sensitive than other areas such as the forehead and upper lip. Most individuals tolerate PRP very well and PRP injections are considered to be a minimally invasive procedure.

    • Some individuals see results after the first session, however, PRP for skin can take up to several weeks or months before you see results because it takes time for the production of collagen and elastin.

    • Various factors that are considered include the individual's tone, texture, and complexion of their skin, the amount of skin damage of the individual, and the stage of the aging process on the face, under eye, neck, and chest.

    • PRP for hair can take up to 12 months to visually see results related to the hair growth cycle which can take 3-4 months. Some clients begin to see results within 3 months, however, results vary for every individual.

    • The duration of time before visually seeing results depends on the severity of hair loss. PRP for hair restoration requires treatments to be repeated consistently because this treatment only temporarily restores hair follicles. When a series of treatments are completed consistently as well as maintained, hair restoration can last up to 12 months.

    • One way that we help clients visually see the progress of treatment is by taking before and after photos for all PRP treatment procedures.

  • Assessments are completed by highly trained practitioners who will be able to determine and evaluate the appropriate and recommended amount of treatment sessions each individual will need to visually see overall results. Each individual has customized care plans, however, PRP for hair requires at least 6 treatment sessions, and PRP for skin requires at least 3 treatment sessions.
