PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma)
Microneedling with PRP in Calgary
Think “vampire facial” – Microneedling with PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) promotes collagen induction which can help to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, improve texture of the skin (ie. mild acne scarring) and overall skin tone and luminosity.
We can also address skin concerns by directly injecting PRP to the deeper layers of the skin to promote collagen production in areas such as undereye crepiness, peri-oral lines or other fine lines and wrinkles.
If hair thinning / hair loss has been affecting your confidence, this treatment may also be an option for you.
Targeting the hair follicle at the scalp can provide improved blood circulation to area, in turn promoting a healthier hair follicle that can grow thicker or more volume in hair. Results will vary from person to person. A consultation is important to determine if you are a good candidate for this treatment.

Microneedling with PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) is a powerful, minimally invasive treatment that enhances skin rejuvenation by stimulating collagen production and accelerating healing. At Point of View Medical Aesthetics, we offer customized microneedling with PRP to target various skin concerns and improve overall skin texture and tone for our Calgary clients.
Hair Thinning and Hair Loss
By injecting concentrated PRP into the areas of hair thinning or hair loss, this can stimulate hair follicles and promotes natural hair growth. This usually requires multiple treatments over a specific time frame for the best outcome. Results can vary for each individual.
Fine Lines and Wrinkles
Microneedling with PRP or injecting concentrated PRP can improve skin texture and elasticity by stimulating collagen production, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles for a more youthful appearance.
Acne Scarring
Microneedling with PRP or injecting PRP to areas of concern can promote collagen inducation and skin regeneration, softening the appearance of mild acne scars and improving overall skin texture.
Dull or Uneven Skin Tone
Microneedling with PRP or injecting PRP to areas of concerns can stimulate blood flow and collagen production, brightening dull skin for a radiant complexion.
Skin Laxity
Microneedling with PRP or injecting PRP to areas of concerns can stimulate blood flow and promote collagen production, this can help with a more plump skin for mild skin laxity. This can complement other skin tightening treatment such as laser resurfacing.
Under-Eye Crepiness
PRP can improve skin quality and circulation around the delicate under-eye area, promoting collagen induction to reduce the appearance of undereye fine lines or crepiness.
Surgical or Traumatic Scars
PRP can accelerate healing and reduces the visibility of surgical or traumatic scars by regenerating healthy skin tissue. This can depend on the age of your scar to determine if you are a good candidate for this treatment.
Stretch Marks
PRP can help repair and regenerate the skin in areas affected by stretch marks, improving texture and potentially reducing them with the surrounding skin.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is microneeding with PRP?
PRP is a component of your blood that contains growth factors and other proteins that have rejuvenating + healing properties on a cellular level.
Microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure using a device with tiny “micro” needles in which we create controlled injuries to the skin.
What skin concerns can PRP address?
PRP can treat fine lines/wrinkles, mild acne scars, dull or uneven skin tone, under-eye crepiness, hyperpigmentation, enlarged pores, stretch marks, and even hair loss or thinning when applied to the scalp.
How does PRP work?
PRP involves drawing a small amount of blood, processing it to concentrate platelets, and injecting or applying the plasma to targeted areas. The growth factors in the plasma stimulate cell regeneration and collagen production.
Is PRP safe?
Yes, PRP is considered very safe because it uses your own blood, minimizing the risk of allergic reactions or adverse side effects. Speak to your provider for further information as there are some contraindications.
How many PRP treatments will I need?
Most patients see optimal results with 3–4 treatments spaced about 4–6 weeks apart depending on treatment area. Maintenance treatments may be recommended every 6–12 months.
Is the procedure painful?
Most procedures are well-tolerated with little to no discomfort. Numbing cream is often used to enhance comfort.
When will I see results from PRP?
For microneedling with PRP and/or PRP injections, results typically appear gradually over several weeks as collagen production increases. Full results are visible about 3 months+. Hair restoration with PRP can vary depending on severity, reason for hair thinning, etc. Typically 3-6 treatments are required for hair restoration as a starting point.
Is there any downtime after PRP?
Downtime is minimal. Some redness, swelling, or mild bruising may occur at the treatment site, but these effects usually subside within a few days. The PRP itself has healing properties and typically expedites the healing process.
Can PRP be combined with other treatments?
Yes, PRP is often combined with microneedling, laser treatments, or dermal fillers to enhance results and address multiple skin concerns simultaneously.
Who is a good candidate for cosmetic PRP?
PRP is suitable for most people seeking skin rejuvenation or hair restoration. However, it may not be recommended for individuals with blood disorders, certain medical conditions, or those taking blood-thinning medications. Ask your provider for more information.
