Treatment for Enlarged Pores, Fine Lines, and Thinning Hair

Are you looking to rejuvenate your skin and get that youthful, healthy glow back you’ve been dreaming of? One of the many anti-aging medi spa treatment options that can be used for both restorative and preventative treatments at our Burlington clinic is PRP. Platelet rich plasma (PRP), also known as the “vampire facial”, is a fast injectable treatment that can improve your pore size, acne scars, fine lines and wrinkles and make your skin look silky smooth.

Patients from Mississauga, Hamilton, Oakville, Brantford, and surrounding areas can also treat thinning hairlines or bald spots with our PRP treatments.

More About PRP Therapy

What Is PRP?

Platelet-rich plasma therapy, or PRP, includes growth factors that enhance the body’s natural healing process. Applying a serum of concentrated platelets (taken from a small amount of the patient’s own blood) to the skin during a microneedling treatment stimulates the skin to repair itself by increasing the production of collagen and elastin. The tiny channels created during microneedling allow the PRP to penetrate deep into the skin. Cosmedica uses the advanced WorldPRP™ system because it increases the volume, density, and purity of PRP with its unique, hourglass-shaped device.

How Is PRP Produced?

Producing platelet-rich plasma involves drawing a small amount of the patient’s blood and then spinning it in a centrifuge to separate red blood cells and other impurities from the PRP. What makes WorldPRP the most effective method is that the centrifuge quickly and gently processes the blood so that platelets aren’t damaged. The process typically takes only 3 minutes.

Additionally, the patented hourglass-shaped device ensures the PRP’s purity and integrity. PRP treatments have a long track record of safety and effectiveness. It’s best-known for helping athletes heal more quickly following an injury.

What is a PRP treatment like?

Not sure what to expect with our PRP treatments? The process is minimally invasive and requires very little downtime. First, we inject a serum of concentrated platelets (taken from a small amount of your own blood) to the skin which stimulates the skin to repair itself by increasing the production of collagen and elastin. This result is a radiant youthful glow. Your skin will also look smoother and younger. PRP can also be done to stimulate hair follicle growth. Many men and women with thinning hair benefit from treatment and love the results!

Are you ready to realize your skin goals? Let our highly trained nurses at Cosmedica help you achieve radiantly youthful skin with PRP. Request a consultation/consultation or call Cosmedica at (905) 631-6288 to achieve your full beauty potential.

Frequently Asked Questions

Our patients find injections of dermal fillers to be almost completely painless. Injections with one of our highly skilled nurse injectors can transform a complete face in under an hour. Unlike BOTOX Cosmetic, which takes effect over the course of 14 days, dermal fillers produce immediate results. After a day or 2 of slight redness, swelling, and bruising, you’ll see smoother skin and enhanced facial contours.
To maintain your results for as long as possible, we also recommend a skincare regimen of high concentrations of active ingredients, including growth factors, retinol, and specialized enzymes to prevent and repair moderate skin damage at the cellular level. Dermal fillers are not permanent, however, so maintenance treatments are necessary to continue your results over the long term.
The result of dermal filler treatments is a rested, healthy-looking face. At Cosmedica, we believe that everyone deserves to rejuvenate their looks and their confidence without fear of feeling vain. When you look good, you feel good, and it’s been proven that younger, more vibrant-looking individuals are perceived more positively in the workplace and in social situations. Once you’ve met with Dr. Weiglein and the rest of his Cosmedica team, you’ll feel excited about trying these safe, innovative products. Once you see your younger face looking back at you in the mirror, you’ll wonder why you waited so long.
Treatment plans created by us often combine various fillers with wrinkle smoother injections for more comprehensive results. BOTOX and Nuceiva address fine lines around the eyes and brow, complementing the capabilities of fillers by addressing the wrinkles that develop from repeated facial expressions.
