Use your body’s own growth factors for a refreshed and rejuvenated appearance.
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy harnesses the natural healing properties of your blood to rejuvenate skin. By concentrating platelets and growth factors, PRP stimulates collagen production and promotes cellular regeneration, which can improve skin texture, reduce the appearance of acne scars, and enhance overall radiance. This non-surgical, minimally invasive treatment offers a natural way to address various skin concerns, making it a sought-after option for those looking to maintain a youthful, healthy complexion

How it works
PRP therapy begins with a small blood draw, usually from your arm. The blood is then processed in a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich plasma from the other components. This concentrated plasma, rich in growth factors and healing properties, is then carefully injected into the targeted areas of your skin or scalp. The growth factors in the PRP work to stimulate collagen production, enhance skin elasticity, and promote cellular regeneration. The result is smoother, firmer, and more radiant skin with minimal downtime.
What to expect
During your PRP injection session at Lift Clinic Toronto, you can expect a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific concerns. The process starts with a consultation where your practitioner will discuss your goals and explain the procedure. The actual treatment begins with a simple blood draw, followed by the PRP preparation. Numbing cream can be applied to the targeted areas to ensure your comfort during the injections. The entire procedure typically lasts 60 minutes.
Post-treatment, you may experience mild swelling or redness, but these effects usually subside within a few days. Most patients can resume their normal activities right away, making PRP an excellent option for those seeking effective, natural skin rejuvenation with minimal disruption to their daily routine.
