PRP Platelet Rich Plasma Facial- WHAT IS PRP ?
ADVANCED TECHNIQUES AND EQUIPMENT
We utilize state-of-the-art technology and techniques to ensure you achieve the best possible results. Our commitment to excellence is evident in the care we provide.
Regen Lab PRP is a Health Canada approved, revolutionary procedure which uses the components of your own blood to regenerate your skin. The ingredients of this innovative method reside within a fraction of your blood, called “Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP)”.
HOW DOES PLASMA HELP WITH ANTI -AGING?
PRP treatment is enriched with platelets, stem cells and growth factors. Once you have received a platelet-rich plasma injection, the following components will accelerate tissue healing via new collagen formation at the treatment site. Used at Refresh Cosmetics to treat hair loss/restoration and skin rejuvenation, this treatment can also be combined with micro-needling for superb results.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF PRP FACIAL INJECTIONS ?
A Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) face treatment, also known as a Vampire facial, is an advanced skin treatment which is great for skin rejuvenation. It’s a treatment which uses your own blood platelets to stimulate new cell growth, helping to improve your complexion and skin texture.
PRP is an established injection therapy to enhance tissue regeneration. PRP therapy is an excellent treatment that uses a small amount of your own blood to stimulate the production of collagen and new skin cells.
WHAT IS THE PROCESS FOR DOING PRP ?
- The blood is then placed in a centrifuge for a few minutes and spun at high speed.
- A sterile syringe is used to withdraw only the PRP (platelet rich plasma) from the sample.
- The plasma and serum are extracted and then re-injected back into the client’s skin, which has previously been cleansed numbed using topical anesthetic
The whole procedure only involves needle injections to the desired areas, requires little to no down time and also reduces possible side effects to a minimum.
WHEN WILL I NOTICE RESULTS ?
Clients will usually feel the immediate effects of PRP therapy after it is performed and during the next few weeks the collagen will begin to grow and generate more and more healthy cells underneath the skin. That is when the optimum results of the procedure are felt. Anti Aging in Burlington

WHAT IS MICRONEEDLING?
Microneedling, or collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive procedure that uses fine needles to create tiny punctures in the skin. This process triggers your skin’s natural healing response, boosting collagen and elastin production.
HOW MICRONEEDLING WORKS
When we perform Microneedling, we create controlled micro-injuries that kickstart your body’s healing process. Here’s how it unfolds:
Inflammation: Your body sends blood, nutrients, and growth factors to the area to begin healing.
Proliferation: New tissue starts to form, and collagen and elastin production ramps up.
Remodeling: The new tissue matures, resulting in smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin.
BENEFITS OF MICRONEEDLING
Boosts Collagen Production: Helps reduce fine lines, wrinkles, and scars.
Improves Texture and Tone: Minimizes pore size and evens out skin tone for a more refined look.
Enhances Product Absorption: The micro-channels allow for better penetration of serums and skincare products, maximizing their effectiveness.
COLLAGEN INDUCTION THERAPY
WHAT IS MICRONEEDLING ?
Automated micro-needling is an advanced Health Canada approved -grade innovation in aesthetic medicine for the treatment of fine lines, acne scars and the improvement of the skin’s texture, tone and color. The skin’s repair process helps to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and enhance skin elasticity. The main principle behind this treatment is to create controlled injuries to the skin to stimulate the body’s natural regenerative ability. Your skin is made up of several structural proteins, including collagen, that produces in greater number when the skin is injured
- What does microneedling most effectively treat?
- Improve wrinkles, minimize pore size and induce skin tightening.
- Stimulate collagen producion which promotes rejuvenation.
- Improve surgical, traumatic, burn and acne scars.
- Hyperpigmentation (brown spots and melasma)
- It may also improve stretch marks
How Often Should You do Microneedling Treatments?
As a general rule of thumb, microneedling treatment can be safely done about once a month or every 4 to 6 weeks. This is the frequency that works best for the majority of patients of all skin types, but some patients find that microneedling treatment more or less frequently than this range works best for their skin and their aesthetic goals.
We will apply a topical numbing cream to the surface of your skin for about 10 to 20 minutes prior to the start of your treatment. Once your face is sufficiently numb, we will use a gentle cleanser to remove the cream and any excess dirt, oil, or make-up from the skin surface.
Recovery
The majority of patients are recovered from treatment within 1 to 3 days. There is no extended recovery time associated with this treatment. Provided you take care to follow the post-treatment guidelines and, after 72 hours, wear sunscreen when you are outside, you are free to return to all normal daily activities
SUN SPOT REMOVAL
CryoClear is a gentle and highly effective approach for treating a variety of hyper-pigmented skin lesions or imperfections within the epidermis.
CryoClear uses Carbon Dioxide (carbonic acid) to freeze the affected area cause the body to slough off the treated tissue with healthy skin growing back in 12 to 30 days.
SKIN LESION REMOVAL
WHY CRYOCLEAR ?
CryoClear® is a non-invasive treatment that uses gentle freezing to target dead skin cells on the skin’s surface, effectively treating age spots, sun spots, and skin tags. The treatment takes approximately 10 minutes and is painless, with no downtime required afterward.
AGE SPOTLESSLY
In fact, 90% of clients see complete resolution after just one treatment. After the treatment, you may notice the treated area turning darker for a few days before healthy pink tissue appears as your body heals. To ensure the best outcome, we recommend using a mineral-based sunscreen and other topicals recommended by our nurse
WHAT TO EXPECT ?
The total in-office treatment time for CryoClear is less than 15 minutes , and your clients are not required to make any changes to their lifestyle. It is highly recommended to apply a mineral-based sunscreen and additional moisturizers for the 12-20 days following the CryoClear procedure.
