PRP or Platelet-Rich Plasma Therapy – Toronto
What Is PRP?
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a regenerative treatment that uses your own blood to naturally help repair, restore, and rejuvenate your skin, scalp, and body tissues.
Your blood is made up of plasma (the liquid component) and several types of cells, including platelets — tiny but powerful blood cells that play an essential role in healing and regeneration. In addition to their well-known clotting function, platelets release growth factors that stimulate the production of new cells and tissue repair.
To create PRP, a small blood sample is taken and placed in a centrifuge, a device that gently spins the blood to separate and concentrate the platelets within the plasma. This enriched plasma — packed with growth factors — is then ready for treatment.
How Does PRP Treatment Work?
Once the platelet-rich plasma is prepared, it’s carefully injected into the target area — such as the scalp, face, joints, or tendons — depending on your treatment goals.
The high concentration of growth factors helps accelerate the body’s natural repair process, boosting collagen production, improving blood circulation, and promoting cell regeneration. This leads to healthier skin, improved texture, and, for scalp treatments, stronger hair growth.
What Is PRP Used For?
- Hair Restoration
PRP is an increasingly popular solution for both men and women experiencing thinning hair or early hair loss. By reactivating dormant hair follicles and improving scalp health, PRP can help reduce shedding and promote natural regrowth. It’s also often recommended after hair transplant procedures to enhance healing and results.
- Skin Rejuvenation
Known by some as the “Vampire Facial,” PRP skin rejuvenation helps refresh the complexion, firm the skin, and reduce visible signs of aging — all without surgery.
When combined with techniques like microneedling or radiofrequency, PRP can:
- Minimize fine lines and wrinkles
- Improve skin tone and texture
- Boost elasticity
- Reduce acne scars
- Restore a natural, radiant glow
Some treatments also combine PRP with hyaluronic acid fillers for enhanced contouring and firmness.

Treatment Time and Results
A PRP session usually takes around 45 to 60 minutes, including preparation and treatment time.
You may notice gradual improvements over several weeks, with full results typically appearing within a few months.
For optimal results, a series of 3 or more sessions is usually recommended, spaced several weeks apart. Maintenance treatments can help extend the duration of your results.
Downtime and Recovery
There’s minimal downtime with PRP therapy. Mild swelling, tenderness, or redness at the injection site may occur but typically resolves within a few days. Most clients return to regular activities right after treatment.
Because PRP is made from your own blood, there’s a very low risk of allergic reactions.
What are the Possible Side Effects?
PRP is considered a low-risk procedure, but like any injection, mild side effects such as temporary bruising, redness, or slight discomfort can occur. Rarely, infection or nerve irritation may develop if post-care instructions aren’t followed.
Who Should Avoid PRP?
PRP may not be suitable for individuals with certain health conditions, such as:
- Active infections or skin cancer in the treatment area
- Blood disorders or platelet abnormalities
- Chronic liver disease or hepatitis C
- HIV or AIDS
- Use of blood thinners
Your practitioner will review your medical history during the consultation to ensure the treatment is safe for you.
How Long Do PRP Results Last?
Results vary depending on the individual and the treatment area, but typically last 12–18 months. Regular maintenance treatments can help sustain your results longer.
PRP Cost in Toronto
Since PRP is considered a cosmetic procedure, it’s not covered by medical insurance.
At most Toronto clinics, each PRP session ranges from $800 to $1,500, depending on the treatment area and desired results.
