PRP Therapy

Yes. PRP is autologous. It uses your own blood, so there is no risk of allergic reaction or rejection. The main risks are standard injection-related concerns like bruising and temporary soreness at injection sites.

A course of 3 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart is recommended for most applications. Scalp PRP for hair loss may require 3–6 sessions depending on the degree of hair thinning.

PRP results are gradual, improvements in skin texture and hair density typically appear 4–6 weeks after each session. Full results from a complete 3-session course are typically visible 2–3 months after the final treatment.

Yes. PRP is frequently combined with microneedling for enhanced skin penetration, and can be used alongside laser treatments on a complementary schedule. Combining PRP with microneedling delivers growth factors directly into the dermis for amplified collagen stimulation.

They work differently. PRP stimulates cellular regeneration and collagen production over time. Hyaluronic acid injection adds immediate volume. For patients with very hollow tear troughs, hyaluronic acid injection may be more impactful. For patients with fine lines, dark circles from poor circulation, and mild hollowing, PRP is a natural first step.

PRP, or Platelet Rich Plasma, is a regenerative treatment that uses concentrated growth factors from your own blood to stimulate collagen production, tissue repair, and cellular renewal. A small blood sample is drawn and spun in a centrifuge for 10 to 15 minutes, separating the platelet-rich plasma from red blood cells. The concentrated PRP is then injected into the target area with fine needles or applied topically during microneedling. At Victoria Rose Aesthetics in Pickering, our RN injectors perform PRP for skin quality, under-eye hollowing, scarring, and hair restoration. Because PRP is autologous (it comes from you), there is no risk of allergic reaction or rejection. A standard course is 3 sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart.

PRP for hair is a non-surgical scalp treatment for androgenetic alopecia, diffuse thinning, and early-stage shedding. It uses growth factors from your own blood to support dormant follicles and slow further thinning. A small blood sample is drawn and spun in a centrifuge for 10 to 15 minutes to isolate the platelet-rich plasma, then injected across the scalp in a fine grid using fine needles, focusing on the hairline, crown, or diffuse thinning zones. The concentrated platelets release growth factors that improve follicular vascularity and prolong the active growth phase. Candidates with intact, miniaturized follicles tend to respond best, while fully scarred or burnt-out follicles will not regrow, which is why an honest assessment comes first. Your VRA injector performs the assessment and the injections at Victoria Rose Aesthetics in Pickering. A standard course is 3 sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart, with annual maintenance. Reduced shedding and visible regrowth typically become apparent around the 3 to 6 month mark. Because PRP is autologous, there is no risk of allergic reaction.

No. PRP and stem cell therapy are different regenerative treatments, though they are often grouped together in patient conversations. PRP uses concentrated platelets from your own blood. The platelets release growth factors that signal surrounding cells to repair tissue, build collagen, and improve vascularity. Stem cell therapy uses undifferentiated cells, typically harvested from bone marrow or adipose tissue, that can develop into different cell types. PRP is widely offered in Canadian aesthetic medicine and is what our RN injectors perform at Victoria Rose Aesthetics. Stem cell aesthetic treatments are not Health Canada-approved for cosmetic indications and are not offered at the clinic. If you have been researching both options, book a consultation to discuss what PRP can realistically achieve for your concern.
