PRP, which stands for Platelet-Rich Plasma, is a form of effective skin care therapy that has grown in popularity since its development, specifically due to its impressive anti-aging results and low chance for adverse reactions. Zest Clinic is one of Canada’s most trusted sources for advanced skin treatments, including PRP therapy, in our state-of-the-art clinic.
This innovative treatment is performed at the Zest Clinic by drawing a small blood sample, processing it to concentrate the platelets, and then strategically reinjecting it into the area for rejuvenation and hair restoration. The treatment will make you feel slightly swollen, and the effects will subside in 2 days. We recommend pairing this treatment with products that mimic growth factors to help maintain your results.
Zest Clinic’s skilled practitioners utilize state-of-the-art equipment in our comfortable, welcoming facilities to target areas of concern and provide you with detailed PRP rejuvenation.
PRP offers many treatment benefits and can effectively address skin laxity, fine lines and wrinkles, uneven texture, under-eye darkness, and hollowness and strengthen hair follicles. This treatment can be combined with Microneedling or those undergoing hair transplants to enhance your results and reduce downtime.
While people often view PRP as a hair restoration procedure exclusively, it is renowned in the MedSpa world as one of the top treatments for skin rejuvenation, addressing acne scars, wrinkles, fine lines, and textured skin with safety and effectiveness.
Platelet-Rich Plasma is a highly effective and sought-after solution for combatting hair loss and restoring thinning hair. PRP promotes thicker, healthier hair growth by stimulating the hair follicles and naturally rejuvenating your scalp with your own blood. Zest Clinic also offers advanced PRP treatments for hair loss, customized to your unique needs and concerns.
Due to PRP being an injectable procedure, there are often concerns about the effects it may have on the skin and body. Fortunately, PRP boasts very few pain-related concerns and no downtime. You can return to work immediately following your treatment so long as your work is not strenuous and does not involve much sweating or movement.
The non-invasive nature of PRP therapy is the reason for the absence of downtime, and any discomfort you feel will quickly subside, along with any bruising or redness at the injection site. If you experience pain after the procedure lasting longer than a day, please contact the Zest Clinic team for a follow-up appointment to ensure you are healing properly.
The collagen and elastin stimulation process during and after your PRP therapy leads to gradual and long-lasting improvements in skin tone, texture, and concerns. If you receive PRP to address hair concerns, you will gradually see growth and thickness improve. Whether you receive PRP for skin rejuvenation or hair growth, you will begin to see optimal results at the 4-6 week mark following your treatment. Your PRP results will continue to last for the following 6-9 months, leaving you with effective results that will continue to impress.
After your PRP treatment, we suggest you follow all aftercare instructions provided by the Zest team on how to care for your skin, hair, and/or body. Make sure to drink plenty of water, avoid certain medications, stop consuming alcohol and tobacco, and avoid situations or locations that will cause perspiration for the first week following your treatment. Set realistic expectations for your PRP results going into the treatment so you can fully enjoy your gradual improvements over the following weeks.
This is one of the safest procedures available due to using your blood to eliminate the risk of adverse reactions. PRP is suitable for various ages and skin types and is known for its efficacy in preventative and corrective purposes. During your consultation, the Zest team will determine if you are a good candidate, but chances are you are ready for treatment.
