Most people know PRP for hair restoration, but this powerful treatment does so much more. PRP skin rejuvenation uses your body’s own healing power to refresh and renew skin from head to toe. If you’re looking for natural anti-aging solutions this January, here are five surprising ways PRP can transform your skin.
PRP stands for platelet-rich plasma. It comes from your own blood and contains growth factors that trigger collagen production and tissue regeneration. According to the Toronto Dermatology Centre, PRP can stimulate collagen production by up to 1000% when combined with microneedling.
The process is simple. A small blood sample is drawn and placed in a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich plasma. This golden serum is then applied to your skin, where it signals your body to create new, healthy tissue. At First Ave Medical Spa, we use advanced techniques to deliver PRP skin rejuvenation treatments that work with your body’s natural healing processes.
The vampire facial made headlines when celebrities shared their glowing results. This treatment combines PRP facial Vancouver techniques with microneedling to create tiny channels in your skin. The PRP then penetrates deeply to boost collagen and elastin production.
Compass Dermatology explains that PRP contains growth factors that increase collagen and elastin in the skin. Results include improved texture, reduced fine lines, and a radiant glow that develops over several weeks. Learn more about our facial rejuvenation services.
Dark circles and hollows under your eyes can make you look tired, even when you’re well-rested. PRP skin rejuvenation offers a natural solution for this delicate area where other treatments may be too harsh.
The Kingsway Dermatology Centre notes that PRP treatments are ideal for fine lines around the eyes and volume loss in the cheeks. The growth factors in PRP strengthen the thin under-eye skin, brighten dark circles, and restore a more youthful appearance without synthetic fillers.
Acne scars can affect your confidence long after breakouts have cleared. PRP for acne scars works by stimulating your skin’s natural repair process to fill in pitted areas and smooth uneven texture.
Shine MD Vancouver reports that PRP combined with subcision has become an essential part of treating moderate to severe acne scarring. The growth factors help remodel scar tissue while promoting new collagen formation. Most patients see visible improvement in texture and tone within weeks. Check out our acne scar treatment options.
Your neck and chest often show signs of aging before your face does. Sun damage, creeping lines, and loss of firmness in these areas can be frustrating to treat with regular skincare products.
According to Pure Rejuvenation Clinic, PRP is approved by Health Canada for cosmetic use on the face, neck, and décolletage. The treatment improves skin texture, elasticity, and thickness while diminishing fine lines and sun damage. Results can last 18-24 months with proper maintenance.
Your hands reveal your age just as much as your face. Thinning skin, visible veins, and age spots make hands look older than you feel. PRP skin rejuvenation can restore lost volume and improve skin quality on the backs of your hands.
Toronto Plastic Surgery confirms that PRP can be injected into the face, neck, eye area, backs of hands, and décolletage. The growth factors promote collagen formation, creating plumper, more youthful-looking hands. This pairs perfectly with our recent hand rejuvenation blog post.
Winter is ideal for PRP skin rejuvenation treatments. With less sun exposure, your skin can heal properly and you’ll see better results. Starting now means you’ll enjoy refreshed, glowing skin by spring.
Most patients benefit from a series of 3-4 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart. View our full treatment menu or read more skincare tips on our blog.
