Image of Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) & Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF)

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) and Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) are regenerative treatments that use your body’s own growth factors to support healing, collagen production, and tissue rejuvenation.

At West Kootenay Skin Clinic, PRP and PRF are commonly used for:

  • hair restoration
  • skin rejuvenation
  • improvement in skin texture and tone
  • support for overall scalp health
  • under-eye rejuvenation

PRP and PRF are created by drawing a small blood sample and processing it to concentrate platelets, growth factors, and regenerative components before treatment.

PRP for Hair Restoration

PRP is one of our most popular regenerative treatments for hair restoration.

When injected into targeted areas of the scalp, PRP may help:

  • improve hair density
  • reduce shedding
  • support healthier hair follicles
  • improve overall scalp health

PRP is commonly incorporated into personalized hair restoration plans alongside:

Hair restoration treatments are customized based on scalp health, pattern of thinning, and individual goals.

No referral is required to book a hair restoration assessment.

PRF for Skin Rejuvenation

PRF is a next-generation regenerative treatment that contains platelets, fibrin, white blood cells, and growth factors in a slower-release matrix.

PRF is commonly used for:

  • under-eye rejuvenation
  • facial volume support
  • improvement in skin texture and tone
  • natural regenerative facial rejuvenation

Because PRF contains a fibrin matrix, it may provide a slower release of growth factors over time.

PRF is often chosen by patients seeking natural regenerative treatment options.

PRP & PRF for Skin Rejuvenation

PRP and PRF may be used to support skin rejuvenation by stimulating collagen production and improving overall skin quality.

Common treatment areas include:

  • under-eye rejuvenation
  • fine lines and texture
  • acne scarring
  • overall skin revitalization

These treatments are often combined with microneedling to enhance treatment outcomes.
