Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) in Oakville, Ontario

Non-Surgical Treatment

Platelet-rich plasma or PRP is an effective treatment that uses your own plasma to reverse the aging process by stimulating tissue regeneration. A small amount of your own blood is collected to isolate the natural platelet-rich fibrin matrix for injection into the skin or scalp. The platelets gradually release various growth factors that stimulate the body’s natural process of tissue regeneration and collagen production. PRP is recommended to improve crepey skin under the eye area, upper lip lines and overall skin texture. It is also effective in promoting rejuvenation of hair growth.

Following a series of PRP treatments, you should see improvements in fine lines and the overall quality of the skin. As your body responds to a PRP treatment, your skill will rebuild itself at the cellular level; there’ll be growth of fresh new skin cells, the blood supply to your tissues will improve, and the stores of collagen and elastin in the face will be stronger and much more robust.

After a PRP scalp treatment, your skin will be healthier and have a larger blood supply, so your hair follicles will be in the best conditions to grow.
