PRP Injections in Montreal
Aesthetic Rejuvenation in Montreal
PRP is an advanced regenerative therapy that uses components of a patient's own blood to promote healing and rejuvenation. The treatment involves extracting a small blood sample, isolating the plasma through centrifugation, and then injecting it into targeted areas. This process harnesses the body's natural growth factors and healing properties, making it an effective solution for skin rejuvenation, hair regrowth, and tissue repair.Located in the heart of Montreal, Reimagine Clinic serves patients from Downtown, Westmount, Plateau, Mont-Royal, and surrounding areas with cutting-edge aesthetic treatments.

Understanding Platelet Rich Plasma: What It Is and How It Works
In the quest for natural, effective, and minimally invasive treatments, PRP therapy stands out as a beacon of hope. PRP therapy, often administered through a PRP injection or PRP shot, harnesses the body’s inherent healing mechanisms to rejuvenate and repair. This innovative treatment begins with a simple and safe process – a small blood sample is drawn from your body, akin to a routine blood test.
The true magic happens in the lab, where your blood undergoes a specialized process that includes platelet concentration in a centrifuge. This process separates the blood components, allowing us to isolate the platelet-rich plasma, which is not just ordinary blood components; they are rich in growth factors and regenerative elements, known as plasma PRP. During this process, red blood cells and white blood cells are separated out to focus on the extraction of platelets.
When we reintroduce these concentrated platelets back into your body, specifically into the areas needing rejuvenation, they act as a catalyst for regeneration. Injected into the scalp, they can revive hair follicles, leading to fuller, healthier hair in our PRP hair treatment. One of the key growth factors in PRP is vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), which stimulates the formation of new hair follicles and improves the health of existing ones. Introduced to the skin, they stimulate collagen production, essential for youthful, elastic skin and skin rejuvenation. This process aids in tissue healing, leading to a reduction in fine lines, wrinkles, and even scars.
The beauty of PRP lies in its natural approach, often referred to in queries about ‘what is PRP’ or ‘what is PRP treatment’. Instead of introducing foreign substances, natural PRP therapy amplifies your body’s own healing capabilities. This not only ensures a lower risk of adverse reactions but also promotes a more natural-looking result.
At Reimagine Clinic, our mission extends beyond mere treatments; we aim to transform your view on beauty and wellness. Our PRP therapies stand as a top choice for those searching for ‘prp treatment near me,’ offering more than just temporary solutions. They provide a sustainable, natural approach to your aesthetic needs. Learn about our dedication to elevating your beauty and wellness through our innovative PRP therapies.

Together, they form a comprehensive facial rejuvenation plan, addressing everything from Spider Veins to fine lines, ensuring a naturally enhanced you.
Benefits of PRP Hair Restoration
PRP hair restoration offers a multitude of benefits for those struggling with hair loss. This innovative treatment harnesses the power of your own blood to stimulate hair growth, making it a natural and non-invasive solution. Unlike surgical options, PRP hair restoration involves minimal discomfort, with most patients finding the procedure well-tolerated, especially with the use of topical anesthesia.
One of the standout advantages of PRP hair restoration is the lack of downtime. You can resume your normal activities immediately after the treatment, making it a convenient option for those with busy lifestyles. The results are not only impressive but also long-lasting. With regular maintenance treatments, you can enjoy sustained improvements in hair density and overall appearance.
PRP hair restoration is particularly effective in stimulating hair growth, enhancing hair density, and improving the overall health of your hair. It can also be combined with other hair restoration treatments, such as hair transplant surgery, to maximize results. By using your own blood, PRP hair restoration ensures a natural approach to hair restoration, reducing the risk of adverse reactions and promoting a healthier scalp environment.

PRF vs PRP: how they differ, and which one is used under the eyes
Under the eyes, this clinic uses PRF. The skin of the lower lid is thin and sits right over the orbicularis muscle, so the area is treated carefully and conservatively. PRP is what this clinic uses on the face, the neck and the hands, microneedling included.
The difference between the two starts with the tube. Blood for PRP is drawn into a tube containing an anticoagulant, which keeps it liquid while it spins at higher speed to concentrate the platelets. Blood for PRF is drawn into a tube with nothing added.
Nothing stops it from clotting, so PRF is spun slowly and only briefly. The spin separates the blood while fibrin starts to polymerise, and the platelets get caught in a clot as it forms. It is not a platelet-concentration step in the way the PRP spin is. Injectable PRF has to go in while it is still liquid, before that fibrin network finishes setting, so it is handled promptly after the spin.
In laboratory measurements the fibrin matrix releases growth factors over a longer window, which has not been shown to mean a longer-lasting result on your skin.
PRF under eyes in Montreal: what it treats and what it costs
The lower lid is one of the harder areas on the face to treat. Its skin is thin, with little subcutaneous fat above the muscle to cushion it, and the orbicularis muscle sits immediately underneath. Behind the orbital septum, deeper again, are the fat pads that produce bags and hollowing as their position changes.
PRF under the eyes treats the skin itself, its texture and its quality. At Reimagine Clinic in Montreal, PRF under the eyes is $350.
It does not add volume. PRF is not a filler, so a deep hollow under the eye needs a different treatment. Any improvement in the skin takes several weeks to show. A topical anaesthetic is available if you want one. Minor bruising, swelling or redness at the injection sites is possible, and it usually settles within a few days. How many sessions you need is decided after a doctor looks at the area.

Who Should Avoid PRP Treatments?
You may not be a good candidate for PRP (or may need physician approval first) if you have any of the following:
Low platelet count (Thrombocytopenia) or functional platelet defects (the treatment relies on healthy platelets)
Active systemic infection or sepsis (higher risk of spreading bacteria during the blood draw or reinjection)
Chronic liver disease or severe metabolic disorders that affect blood composition
Cancer or active malignancy, particularly hematopoietic (blood) cancers or skin cancer in the treatment area
Anticoagulation therapy (use of blood thinners like Warfarin or Heparin) which can interfere with platelet activation and cause severe bruising
Autoimmune disease or being immunocompromised / on immunosuppressive therapy (case-by-case)
Pregnancy or breastfeeding (treatment is typically deferred out of caution)
Heavy smoking or chronic drug use, which significantly impairs the quality of growth factors in your plasma
History of keloid scarring (if the PRP is being delivered via microneedling or deep injections)
A consultation at Reimagine Clinic is the best way to confirm suitability based on your medical history, blood health, and aesthetic goals.
Essential aftercare
You may not achieve optimal regenerative results (or may increase your risk of inflammation or “washing out” the growth factors) if you do not follow these post-treatment protocols:
Avoid washing the treated area for at least 12–24 hours to allow the concentrated growth factors to fully absorb into the skin
Skip anti-inflammatory medications (NSAIDs) like Ibuprofen, Advil, or Aleve for at least 7 days post-treatment; PRP relies on the inflammatory “trigger” to work
Do not apply makeup or heavy sunscreens for 24 hours to prevent clogging the micro-channels created during the procedure
Avoid strenuous exercise or heavy sweating for 48 hours to prevent irritation and to keep the PRP localized to the treated area
Skip high-heat environments such as saunas, steam rooms, or hot showers for 72 hours, as extreme heat can degrade the freshly injected plasma
Avoid alcohol and smoking for at least 3 days, as these dehydrate the skin and significantly reduce the potency of the growth factors
Sleep with your head elevated for the first night to help reduce the localized swelling that occurs during the initial inflammatory phase
Use a gentle, hydrating cleanser after the initial 24-hour window, and avoid active ingredients like Retinol or Vitamin C for 5–7 days
Safety and side effects
You may experience common, temporary side effects (or should be aware of rare, serious risks) including the following:
Mild to moderate swelling and redness, which is a sign that the growth factors are stimulating a healing response (usually lasts 1–3 days)
Bruising and soreness at the injection sites or the blood draw site (common and typically resolves within a week)
A “sandpaper” skin texture or minor flaking if the PRP was administered via microneedling
Dizziness or lightheadedness during or after the blood draw (ensure you eat and hydrate well before your appointment)
Infection at the injection site (rare), characterized by increasing pain, heat, or pus (seek medical attention immediately)
Nerve irritation (rare), which may cause temporary tingling or numbness in the treated area
No risk of allergic reaction to the PRP itself, as it is derived from your own blood, though reactions to topical numbing or the anticoagulant in the tube are possible
Asymmetry or temporary “puffiness” around the eyes or nasolabial folds if PRP was injected as a “filler” alternative
Enhancing and Maintaining Your Results
You may find that your PRP results are more dramatic (and last longer) if you incorporate the following lifestyle and maintenance strategies:
The “Rule of Three”: Understand that PRP is a cumulative treatment; a series of 3 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart is usually required for visible rejuvenation
Hydrate aggressively for 48 hours before your appointment to ensure your blood is easy to draw and your plasma is high-quality
Eat a nutrient-dense diet rich in leafy greens and antioxidants in the weeks leading up to your session to improve the “potency” of your platelets
Combine with Microneedling (Vampire Facial): Using PRP as a topical “glide” during microneedling allows for deeper penetration and faster healing
Daily Sun Protection: New collagen is fragile; protect your “liquid gold” investment by wearing SPF 30+ every single day
Maintenance Sessions: Schedule a single “booster” session every 6–12 months to keep collagen production active as you age
Limit Caffeine and Alcohol: Reducing these in the days surrounding your treatment ensures your blood isn’t overly “thin” or dehydrated
Manage expectations: Realize that PRP is a “slow-burn” treatment; while skin texture improves quickly, true collagen remodeling takes 3–6 months to fully manifest

Benefits of PRP
What does PRP do for your skin, and what does PRF do under your eyes?
Hair loss? See our PRP hair treatment
We also offer PRP for the scalp, and it has its own page with pricing, session detail and what to expect. If that is what brought you here, read about PRP hair treatment in Montreal.
Anti-aging and under-eye rejuvenation
PRP is used on fine lines and on the texture and firmness of the skin across the face, the neck and the hands. Under the eyes the skin is thinner and crepey texture tends to show there early. This clinic treats that area with PRF rather than PRP. PRF does not add volume, so it does not fill a deep hollow under the eye. Any change in the skin builds slowly, over several weeks.
Stretch marks
Stretch marks can be a source of self-consciousness for many. PRP therapy aids in diminishing these marks by promoting skin regeneration and improving skin elasticity. Experience a visible reduction in the appearance of stretch marks, restoring the smoothness of your skin.
PRP facial and the vampire facial
A PRP facial treats the whole face with platelet-rich plasma drawn from your own blood. It is often paired with microneedling, where the plasma is applied over the skin as the needling passes across it. That blood draw at the start of the visit is where the nickname vampire facial comes from. Injected PRP and microneedling-applied PRP are different deliveries, and the doctor confirms which one suits you at the consultation.

we’re here to answer all your PRP questions
PRP Therapy is an advanced regenerative treatment method in medicine. It utilizes the patient’s own blood to promote healing and rejuvenation in various body tissues. In this procedure, blood is drawn from the patient and processed to concentrate the platelets, which are pivotal in healing wounds and regenerating tissues. This concentrated platelet-rich plasma is then injected into the affected area, stimulating the body’s natural repair mechanisms. Healthline provides a detailed overview.
We draw a small amount of your blood into a tube with an anticoagulant, which keeps it liquid in the centrifuge. The spin separates out the red and white blood cells and concentrates the platelets, leaving plasma rich in growth factors. We then inject that plasma with fine needles or apply it during microneedling.
The growth factors set off a healing response that starts with inflammation, which can show as swelling and redness for 1 to 3 days. PRP needs that trigger, so skip anti-inflammatories like ibuprofen for at least 7 days after treatment. They also stimulate collagen production, and collagen remodeling takes 3 to 6 months to fully show.
PRP Therapy is versatile and can treat a range of conditions. It is commonly used in orthopedics for joint injuries and osteoarthritis, in dermatology for skin rejuvenation and acne scars, and in trichology for hair loss treatment. Athletes often use PRP therapy for sports injuries, such as torn ligaments and muscle injuries. PRP is also increasingly popular in cosmetic procedures for facial rejuvenation and anti-aging. The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons discusses its applications.
PRP therapy is generally safe, as it uses the patient’s own blood, thereby minimizing the risk of allergic reactions or transmission of blood-borne diseases. However, as with any injection, there is a risk of infection, nerve injury, or pain at the injection site. Some patients may experience temporary swelling or redness. WebMD outlines potential risks and side effects.
PRP has shown promising results in the treatment of joint pain, particularly in conditions like osteoarthritis. It can help reduce pain, improve joint function, and slow down the progression of arthritis. However, PRP is not a cure for arthritis and may need to be part of a comprehensive treatment plan. Arthritis Canada discusses PRP in arthritis management.
Yes, PRP is increasingly used for skin rejuvenation. It helps in improving skin texture, reducing wrinkles, and enhancing overall skin tone. It’s particularly effective for treating under-eye circles, fine lines, and acne scars. The growth factors in PRP stimulate collagen production, crucial for youthful and healthy skin.
The timeframe to see results from PRP therapy can vary based on the condition being treated and individual patient factors. Typically, initial improvements may be observed within a few weeks of treatment, with more significant results becoming apparent after several months. In some cases, multiple PRP sessions may be necessary to achieve the desired outcome. Yale Medicine provides insights into the effectiveness of PRP.
Recovery time after PRP therapy is generally minimal. Most patients can resume their normal activities almost immediately after the procedure. Some might experience mild soreness, swelling, or bruising at the injection site, which usually resolves within a few days. It is important to follow any specific post-procedure instructions provided by your healthcare provider. Hospital for Special Surgery offers more information on post-procedure care.
Yes, absolutely. We have a PRP aftercare page designated for that.
