My clinic
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Vancouver
PRP, or platelet-rich plasma, is a regenerative non-surgical treatment offered at our Dermapure clinics in Vancouver. It uses platelets concentrated from your own blood in-clinic and delivered into the skin through microinjections, microneedling-assisted application or other targeted delivery methods, depending on the treatment plan.
PRP can support skin renewal on the face, neck and décolleté, addressing dullness, fine lines, uneven texture and concerns associated with collagen and elasticity loss. It may be used on its own across a series of sessions, or paired with complementary in-clinic options such as microneedling, exosome therapy, energy-based skin renewal technologies or medical-grade skincare protocols, depending on individual goals and skin condition.
Because every patient’s skin, goals and medical history are different, PRP at our Dermapure clinics in Vancouver always begins with a personalized 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.
