Looking for PRP hair restoration in Richmond Hill? PRP and PRF use growth factors from your own blood to support thinning hair, skin quality and tired under-eyes.
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is made from a small sample of your own blood, spun to concentrate the platelets and their growth factors. Injected into the scalp or skin, it supports the body’s own repair and renewal.
Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) is spun differently, so it keeps a fibrin matrix that releases growth factors more slowly. It is often chosen for under-eye rejuvenation and overall skin quality.
PRP and PRF fit into several cosmetic treatments. For acne scars we often combine PRP with RF microneedling as part of our acne scar treatment plans. For hair loss, your consultation checks for medical causes first, which our medical dermatology team can treat.
Pattern hair thinning in men and women.
Fine, thin skin under the eyes.
Texture, tone and fine lines.
Used alone or with microneedling to support healing.

After the blood draw and processing, the area is numbed and treated with fine injections. Pre-treatment photos are taken so we can compare results at follow-up.
For hair, a series of treatments about a month apart is usual, with changes in shedding and density seen over 3 to 6 months. Skin and under-eye results build over several weeks. Maintenance sessions help keep results.
We go through the risks for your skin type at your consultation.
PRP and PRF are priced per session, with savings often available on a treatment series. The total depends on the area (scalp, face or under-eyes) and the number of sessions in your plan.
What affects the price:
Cosmetic treatments are not covered by OHIP. Pricing is discussed at your consultation and is not given over the phone; you receive a written plan and quote before any treatment is booked.

A series of about three treatments a month apart is common, followed by maintenance. Your plan sets the exact number.
PRP is spun faster and releases its growth factors quickly, while PRF is spun more slowly and keeps a fibrin matrix that releases growth factors over a longer time. PRP is often used for hair, and PRF for under-eyes and skin quality.
PRP and PRF are made from your own blood, and common side effects are short-lived redness, swelling, tenderness and small bruises. We review your medical history first, as blood or platelet disorders and blood thinners may mean it is not suitable.
For hair, less shedding is usually noticed within 1 to 3 months, with changes in density seen over 3 to 6 months. Skin and under-eye results build over several weeks.
No. PRP hair loss treatment tends to suit early to moderate pattern thinning best. Hair loss can have other medical causes, so we check for those first and recommend the right treatment.
The cost depends on the area treated and the number of sessions in your series. We confirm pricing at your consultation and give you a written plan and quote before treatment. Cosmetic treatments are not covered by OHIP.
The area is numbed before treatment, so most people feel pressure and mild stinging. The blood draw feels like a routine blood test.
PRP is often part of a wider hair-loss plan, and your dermatologist will advise which treatments to continue. Avoid minoxidil around your treatment unless your physician advises otherwise.
PRF under-eye treatment can improve thin, crepey skin under the eyes and may soften dark circles linked to thin skin. Dark circles from other causes may need a different approach, which we assess at your consultation.
Results build gradually over a series, and maintenance sessions help keep them. The timing of maintenance is set in your plan based on your response.
We’ll assess your skin and give you a written plan and quote. Cosmetic treatments are not covered by OHIP.
