Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) South Surrey

Fuel Skin Renewal—With Your Own Biology

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy uses a small sample of your own blood, processed to concentrate the platelets, to support the skin's natural renewal process. It can be applied to the face, the delicate under-eye area, or the scalp to help address concerns such as skin quality, fine lines, under-eye hollowing, or thinning hair.

Book an Appointment

Because every patient's skin, goals and medical history are different, PRP therapy at our South Surrey clinic always begins with a personalized consultation with a physician or healthcare professional. Together, you will discuss the area you would like to treat and what a realistic treatment plan could look like, keeping in mind that results vary from one patient to another.

What to Expect During Your Session

Step 1

Personalized Consultation

Your journey starts with a one-on-one consultation. During this appointment, your physician will assess the condition of your skin or scalp, discuss your goals, and ensure that PRP is the right solution for your needs. This step is essential to create a personalized, medically guided treatment plan aligned with your expectations.

Step 2

Pre-Treatment Photography

Before your first session, clinical photos are taken to establish a visual reference. These images document your starting point and help track your progress over time. They also support meaningful conversations during follow-up appointments.

Step 3

Blood Collection & Plasma Preparation

A small blood sample is drawn, similar to a routine blood test. The sample is then placed in a centrifuge, which spins at high speed to isolate the platelet-rich plasma (PRP). This golden serum, rich in growth factors, is what fuels the treatment's regenerative power.

Step 4

Skin Cleansing & Disinfection

Before application, the treatment area is thoroughly cleansed to remove any makeup, oil, or skincare residue. A careful disinfection follows to ensure a sterile environment, which is essential for both safety and optimal results.

Step 5

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.

Frequently asked questions

Are there side effects?

Mild redness, sensitivity or swelling can appear in the treated area, usually lasting between 12 and 24 hours. These effects are temporary and part of the natural healing response. You can safely apply makeup the day after your treatment.
