The PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) is a cost-effective method for concentrating growth factors for therapeutic use.This allows some of the white cells, growth factors, and stem cells, along with the platelets, to be collected from a tube that has no anticoagulant additive.  It is these additional elements that make this PRP a much more desirable.

This personalized cell therapy is using an individual’s own PRP in several ways to enhance cosmetic procedures to reduce the prominence of scars, wrinkles, sun damage, dark circles under the eyes, and stimulate hair growth.  It is also ideal for clients who suffer from rosacea or acne.

​

The properties found in PRP make them superior products compared to man-made products for uses in skin care procedures such as MicroNeedling and Injections. By drawing a patient’s blood and using their own plasma for these treatments, we are utilizing the purest and most natural form of growth factors possible, giving exceptional results treating anti-aging, acne scarring, skin tone, and texture. This therapy also helps the body to naturally heal itself without using chemicals or foreign substances of any kind.  Besides, it does an amazing job at decreasing healing time and gives an immediate glow to the skin.  The possibility of an allergic reaction or infection is almost zero because the plasma comes from the client’s own body. There are many different types and brands of Platelet-Rich Plasma systems available in Canada. The best PRP system we provide at Elite Wellness MediSpa is Arthrex ACP Double Syringe system.  It has one of the highest platelet growth factors that contains no anticoagulant in the plasma.

 

At Elite Wellness MediSpa, we use the MicroNeedling with PRP to treat anti-aging, acne scarring, skin tone, and texture. The exact procedure depends on the individual’s indications, and sometimes that could be more than one procedure. For instance, if a patient is concerned with fine lines and skin texture, they might just need to have MicroNeedling.  For deep wrinkles, under-eye discoloration and puffiness, injections will most likely be needed. In this case, the PRP is used much the same way as we use regular fillers and botox injections. The number of treatments will depend on the client’s desired outcome, skin condition, and will be discussed in the initial consultation.
