PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma)
PRP (platelet-rich plasma) treatments use your body's own growth factors to stimulate collagen production, improve skin quality, and support hair restoration. At Lougheed Laser Centre in Burnaby, PRP is used for both skin rejuvenation and hair loss, offering a natural approach to renewal that works from the inside out.
What is PRP?
PRP stands for platelet-rich plasma. A small amount of your blood is drawn, similar to a routine blood test, and placed in a centrifuge that separates it into its components. The platelet-rich plasma is then isolated and prepared for treatment. Platelets contain growth factors that play a key role in tissue repair and regeneration. When reintroduced into targeted areas of the skin or scalp, they stimulate collagen production, accelerate cell renewal, and support the body's natural healing response.
