What is PRP Micro-Needling?
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) Micro-needling merges the benefits of PRP therapy with micro-needling for comprehensive skin rejuvenation. In this procedure, a patient’s blood is drawn, PRP is isolated, and then applied to the skin. Micro-needling creates controlled micro-injuries, enhancing the absorption of PRP and stimulating collagen production. This approach leads to smoother, firmer, and more evenly toned skin, addressing concerns like fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and hyperpigmentation.
PRP Micro-needling is highly versatile, catering to a variety of cosmetic concerns. By promoting collagen synthesis and the body’s natural healing process, it effectively minimizes imperfections and enhances overall skin quality. From reducing fine lines to improving skin texture, this treatment offers a comprehensive solution for individuals seeking a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance.
Sessions are typically spaced several weeks apart for optimal results. Patients may experience mild redness or swelling, which resolves within a few days. With the guidance of skilled medical professionals, individuals undergoing PRP Micro-needling can achieve their desired aesthetic goals with confidence and satisfaction.

PRP for Microneedling Procedure: How it Determines The Treatment Price
Here’s why the cost of PRP micro-needling can be on the high side:
The Before
The pre-procedural requirements for PRP micro-needling also contribute to the costs of treatment. For one, there’ll be an initial consultation session with the medical aesthetician to discuss your treatment needs. Then, you’ll need to arrive early on the treatment date.
On the day of your appointment, the medical aesthetician will cleanse the treatment area. They may also apply topical anesthetic to the treatment area. These procedures require topical medications that add to the cost of your PRP micro-needling treatment.
During Your Treatment
The cost of PRP micro-needling treatments can be a tad expensive because it’s a two-stage treatment. The first step is a micro-needling stage that takes about 30-45 minutes. The medical aesthetician will use a professional-grade derma roller for the micro-needling aspect of your treatment.
Then comes the PRP treatment. The medical aesthetician will draw blood from your face and use a centrifuge to isolate the PRP component. The PRP solution will be massaged into the target area. And since the micro-needling treatments create micro-punctures in the treatment area, maximum penetration of the PRP components becomes attainable.
Aftercare
The success rate of PRP micro-needling increase with proper aftercare following your sessions. Here, the medical aesthetician will use special serums to soothe irritation and redness in the treatment area. They may also use makeup to camouflage any side effects.
This extra step requires the attention of a trained medical aesthetician, along with the expenses of aftercare balms and topical care products. Both factors combine to influence the cost of PRP micro-needling treatments in Toronto.
How Does PRP Micro-Needling Work?
The non-surgical treatment of PRP micro-needling includes an extraction of platelet-rich plasma from your blood which is injected into the necessary areas of treatment. The procedure has proved to be quite effective as they promote tissue repair, collagen growth, and, of course, healthy cell production.
Platelets are cells in your body that help with blood clotting and healing. Plasma, on the other hand, is the liquid that moves the platelets around and alongside red and white blood cells.
Typically, there are three stages to a PRP micro-needling for hair loss treatment:
Stage 1
Our doctor will draw out blood from the body, usually from the arm, which is placed into a centrifuge, a machine that separates fluids based on their densities.
Stage 2
This typically occurs about ten minutes after Stage 1. By this time, the centrifuge will have separated your blood into its layers.
- Platelet-poor plasma
- Platelet-rich plasma (Jackpot!)
- Red blood cells
Stage 3
Our doctor will draw the platelet-rich plasma into a syringe and inject them into the areas required for regeneration.
