PRP – Platelet-Rich Plasma, to combat hair loss
Victoria Park Medispa offers a solution to combat baldness (hair loss) when it begins to occur: platelet-rich plasma injections, also known as PRP treatment. In the medical field, plasma is a very rich nutritive substance used to help prevent or cure certain diseases.
In the aesthetic field, platelet-rich plasma is renowned for its benefits on scalp fortification. Knowing that approximately half of the male population may be prone to hair loss, and that women can also experience thinning hair after the age of fifty, this solution can be very interesting for regaining self-confidence.
PRP - Platelet-Rich Plasma,
for hair: what is it?
PRP, or platelet-rich plasma, is a completely natural, nutrient-rich transparent liquid found in blood. What we refer to as platelets are actually nutrients, enzymes, and proteins involved in the healing and repair of the human body. This is why, when hair loses its vitality, PRP can restore its vigor. To obtain this substance, the medical-aesthetic health professional at Victoria Park Medispa begins by drawing blood from the client. Then, the sample is placed in a centrifuge for a few minutes to separate the red blood cells from the platelet-rich plasma. The resulting liquid is injected into areas where the hair appears thinner and stimulates the fortification of the hair bulb. Over the course of PRP treatment sessions, the hair can appear strengthened and thicker.
Hair loss treatment using PRP injections is suitable for people who are beginning to notice signs of hair thinning and are in the early stages of hair loss. This is indeed the ideal time to address the problem and reduce the thinning appearance that precedes baldness. It is important to know that the effects of PRP are only visible after some time: it takes a few weeks to observe its effects, and between three to six months to notice an improvement in hair quality. To achieve hair redensification goals, it is recommended to undergo at least three or four injections, spaced two to four weeks apart.

PRP - Platelet-Rich Plasma injections: a treatment for the face
PRP injections are a commonly used method to perform a facelift. Known as the vampire facelift, the platelet-rich plasma treatment for the face is a rejuvenation process offered at Victoria Park Medispa. It involves injecting platelet-rich plasma into the skin of the face, neck, or décolletage to activate the production of collagen and elastin.
These fibers play a key role in skin firmness, but their production decreases with age, which can cause sagging and fine lines. For the most sensitive areas of the face, the healthcare professional may apply a numbing cream to ensure the session remains comfortable. This treatment allows for firmer and more supple skin without the need for invasive surgery, reducing fine lines and wrinkles, and giving a fresher and more radiant complexion. Men and women who wish to improve the appearance of their skin and reduce age spots or skin redness may find this to be an advantageous solution.
Hair loss treatment with PRP - Platelet-Rich Plasma
PRP injection treatment is particularly suitable for men and women whose heredity predisposes them to alopecia, i.e., hair loss. However, it is essential that the treatment is administered at an early stage to provide satisfactory results. Thus, women who notice that their temples are beginning to thin or whose hairline seems to be receding can benefit from this treatment.
It is also a good way to regain self-confidence and no longer be afraid to tie up one’s hair, for example. Men who notice thinning hair or a deterioration in its quality, gradually revealing their scalp, can also be good candidates. This last point is determined during a consultation with a healthcare professional at Victoria Park Medispa. This meeting allows the client’s goals to be clarified and the results they can expect to achieve to be presented, as these vary from person to person. The session itself lasts only thirty to forty-five minutes. It may be slightly uncomfortable, but again, the professional responsible for the treatment may offer the client a numbing cream to improve their comfort. Once the treatment is completed, it is possible to resume daily activities immediately.
In summary
PRP, or platelet-rich plasma, is a transparent liquid extracted from blood. It contains nutrients, enzymes, and proteins that stimulate tissue regeneration. During treatment, a blood sample is taken, centrifuged to isolate the plasma, and then injected into specific areas such as the scalp or face to improve hair and skin quality.
This treatment is suitable for men and women who notice the first signs of hair loss, such as thinning or sparse areas. It is particularly effective when performed at an early stage. A prior consultation is essential to assess the suitability of the treatment and define the expected results.
Generally, three to four sessions spaced two to four weeks apart are needed for visible results. The effects begin to appear after a few weeks and become more pronounced after three to six months. Regular maintenance may be recommended to sustain the results.
For the face, PRP, also known as the vampire facelift, stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, improving skin firmness and texture. This non-invasive treatment reduces wrinkles, fine lines, and pigmentation spots, offering firmer, more supple skin and a radiant complexion.
Other rejuvenating treatments available at Victoria Park Medispa to feel good in your skin
Just like hair, skin quality is also a key element in a person’s appearance. Unfortunately, with age or due to genetic factors, it tends to sag, and the resulting fine lines can give a tired and dull appearance. To maintain a youthful and dynamic look, it is possible to take care of your skin by offering it a photorejuvenating treatment with fractional laser.
This non-invasive skin care, available at Victoria Park Medispa, allows you to get rid of pigmentation spots, reduce the appearance of fine lines and scars while giving your complexion a new radiance. For those who are more concerned about skin sagging affecting the oval of the face and causing a double chin, the Belkyra treatment can be an interesting solution. In the form of an injection, Belkyra melts the submental fat to reduce its protrusion. The jawline is then better defined, and the face appears more structured and overall rejuvenated.
