Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Montreal
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is a treatment offered at our Dermapure clinics in Montreal that uses your own biology to support skin renewal. It begins with a small blood draw from your arm; the sample is placed in a centrifuge that separates its components and concentrates the platelet-rich plasma, a fluid rich in growth factors, the natural messengers that support collagen, elastin and tissue repair.
PRP is most often considered by patients who would like to improve skin tone and texture, soften the look of acne scars and under-eye concerns, or support overall radiance with a natural approach. The plasma is delivered back into the skin through microinjections or applied with microneedling, depending on the area and the goal, and it pairs particularly well with microneedling. It may be received on its own or planned alongside other in-clinic treatments within a broader plan.
Because every patient’s skin, concerns and medical history are different, Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) at our Dermapure clinics in Montreal always begins with a personalized medical consultation with a physician or healthcare professional. Together, you will assess whether PRP is the most appropriate option for you and discuss a realistic treatment plan, the expected results and the possible side effects.

PRP Application
Your PRP is applied to targeted areas, such as the face, under-eyes, neck, décolleté, or scalp, according to your personalized plan. The clinical team selects the most appropriate application method, which may include fine microinjections, microneedling-assisted delivery, or a blunt-tip microcannula for delicate zones like the tear trough. The procedure is performed with precision and care, and most patients describe it as comfortable and well-tolerated. A session usually lasts 30 to 45 minutes.
Post-Treatment Care
After your session, the team will explain simple post-care steps to support healing. You may experience slight redness, warmth, or sensitivity in the treated area. These reactions are normal, temporary effects that typically subside within 24 hours.
Progressive Results
PRP works with your body’s natural healing process, so results appear gradually. Over the following weeks, you may notice firmer skin, improved tone and texture, and a revitalized complexion. For optimal outcomes, a series of 3 to 4 sessions spaced a few weeks apart is usually recommended.
Follow-Up & Maintenance
PRP works gradually, and results are cumulative. In most cases, a series of 3 to 4 sessions spaced about 3 to 4 weeks apart is recommended to activate optimal skin or hair regeneration. Based on your initial condition and desired outcome, your provider may adapt the frequency and number of sessions. To further enhance results, PRP can be combined with other medical aesthetic treatments. It is often paired with dermal filler injections for deeper volumizing effects or with RF microneedling (radiofrequency) to stimulate collagen and improve skin firmness more effectively. Your physician will guide you toward the best combination based on your skin’s needs and your personal goals.
Contraindications
Although PRP is a well-tolerated treatment that uses your own plasma, it may not be suitable for everyone. It is not recommended for individuals who are pregnant or breastfeeding, or for those with autoimmune conditions, bleeding disorders, or active skin infections in the treatment area. Additionally, certain lifestyle factors—such as excessive alcohol consumption, smoking, or a poor diet—can affect the quality of your plasma and potentially influence the effectiveness of the treatment. A comprehensive medical evaluation is always performed prior to treatment to ensure your safety and determine if PRP is the right option for you.
