PRP Treatment in Toronto

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy is a revolutionary all-natural treatment designed to enhance skin rejuvenation, hair restoration, and wound healing through the power of concentrated platelets. This cosmetic treatment utilizes a component of blood—the patient’s own platelet-rich plasma—to stimulate cellular regeneration, collagen production, and skin quality while addressing a wide range of skin concerns.

Originally developed for injury recovery, rotator cuff tears, and arthritic joints, PRP therapy has become a gold standard in aesthetic medicine. Whether you are looking for a PRP facial, PRP Hair Restoration, or joint pain relief, this effective treatment promotes tissue healing, improved skin tone, and natural hair growth.

Platelet-Rich Plasma has many cosmetic applications which include:

  • Revitalizing dull, damaged skin
  • Refining the texture of the skin
  • Firming up and lifting sagging skin
  • Evening out pigmentation
  • Smoothing out fine lines and wrinkles
  • Camouflaging scars
  • Restoring hair loss and hair thinning

It compliments the use of dermal fillers such as Juvederm because PRP addresses the superficial layers of skin itself which is more difficult to target by fillers. After treatment, you’ll notice a softer, more radiant look to your face with diminished fine lines and wrinkles (frown lines, crow’s feet, laugh lines, etc.). The treatment even addresses mild scarring and acne scars on the dermis.

How does PRP work?

The process relies on the body’s regenerative ability to repair damaged tissue, foster collagen production, and plump the surrounding area. This is through the use of Platelet-Rich Plasma extracted from the patient’s blood. During the procedure, a small amount of blood is drawn from the patient and ran through a centrifuge, which separates the Platelet-Rich Plasma from the red blood cells. This is then re-injected into the treatment site where growth factors stimulate the body’s natural healing process.

Key Benefits of PRP Treatment:

  • Increases hair regrowth density and improvement in hair growth
  • Strengthens hair follicles, reducing types of hair loss
  • Enhances blood flow, preventing further hair thinning
  • Non-invasive and natural protein-based approach
  • Minimal allergic reactions, making it safe for all skin types

For best results, initial treatments involve 2-3 treatments spaced weeks after initiation treatment, followed by 1-2 yearly touch-up treatments as maintenance sessions.

The Science Behind Platelet-Rich Plasma Therapy

PRP therapy works by harnessing the healing factors present in platelet concentrate. A sample of blood is drawn from the patient and spun in a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich plasma from white blood cells and other blood components. This platelet concentrate is then injected into targeted areas to stimulate stem cells, promote collagen fibers, and improve blood flow.

Key active growth factors in PRP therapy include:

  • Platelet-Derived Growth Factor (PDGF): (PDGF): Essential for cell growth, formation of blood vessels and connective tissues.
  • Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF): Enhances skin regeneration, firmer skin, and even skin tone.
  • Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF): Increases blood vessel formation, improving tissue healing and wound healing.

Unlike aggressive treatments that may cause adverse reactions, PRP therapy is safe and minimally invasive, making it an excellent choice for aesthetic treatments, injured tissue repair, and alternative treatments for hair retention.

PRP Hair Loss Restoration

Platelet-Rich Plasma treatment is an effective and minimally invasive solution for hair growth restoration and hair loss prevention. Hair follicles respond to changes in hormones, stress, medications, among a multitude of other factors, and these can lead to hair thinning and hair loss.

The plasma used in PRP injections is rich in healing growth factors which signal cells to function and regenerate. This stimulates the activity of hair follicles and dormant hair into the growth stage improving thickness and density. During the anagen (growth) phase, the hair follicles are more strongly rooted and actively grow more rapidly.

Benefits of PRP treatment for hair loss:

  • Reduces hair loss and shedding
  • Increases hair regrowth density
  • Regenerates dormant or shrinking hair follicles
  • Increases blood supply to the follicle
  • Increases the number of hair follicles
  • Increases the shaft size (thickness)
  • Triggers and maintains the growth phase
  • Effective as a standalone treatment or combined with Micro-Needling for enhanced results
  • Effects are typically seen in 4-6 months
  • Non-invasive and non-surgical

Treatment varies based on each individual patient, but consistency is key for optimal results: 3-5 sessions are recommended with 1-2 months between each session.

A DRAMATIC DUO

Platelet-rich plasma can also be used in conjunction with other cosmetic procedures to maximize effectiveness. Most notably, PRP is used with Micro-Needling to infuse the Platelet-rich plasma into the targeted area to promote quicker and more effective healing, thus ensuring better results.

Micro-needling involves rolling a specialized handheld device embedded with tiny surgical-grade stainless steel needles over the skin which creates thousands of micro-channels and penetrates the upper dermis responsible for generating collagen and elastin. This uses the skin’s natural healing process to release growth factors, stimulate fibroblasts, and increase cell proliferation.

Micro-needling, also known as Medical Needling and Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT), is an innovative non-invasive collagen stimulation procedure that promotes a healthy, vibrant glow. At NCBC Med-Laser, we have refined our skin needling technique using the latest technology and proven methods to bring out the potential of your skin while minimizing discomfort and downtime.

THE REASON VAMPIRES DON’T AGE

PRP has a long history of use in medical settings as a safe treatment with proven results. Its use to beautify facial skin (known as the Vampire Facial) has gotten very popular in recent news. Look and feel your best with healthier skin by using your own cells to promote regeneration and bring out a more youthful you.
