What is PRP Treatment?
PPRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) is a regenerative treatment made entirely from your own blood. We draw a small sample, spin it in a medical-grade centrifuge to concentrate the platelets, and deliver those growth factors precisely where your body needs them — into the scalp, skin, or under-eye area. Platelets act as biological messengers, triggering your body’s natural repair process to build new collagen, stimulate follicle activity, and restore tissue quality.
Why PRP works:
- 100% natural. Uses your own cells — no synthetic ingredients, no risk of allergic reaction.
- Hair restoration. Activates dormant follicles to increase density and slow thinning.
- Under-eye renewal. Thickens delicate skin to reduce hollowness and dark circles naturally.
- Scar and texture repair. Flattens acne scars and tightens pores, especially when paired with microneedling.
- Long-term remodelling. PRP rebuilds tissue from within — results develop and deepen over time.
Why Choose Sparkle Lifestyle & MediSpa for PRP?
In regenerative medicine, platelet concentration determines outcome quality. Our centrifugation systems produce a significantly higher platelet yield than standard spa-grade equipment — more growth factor per injection means more meaningful results.
Our PRP treatments are performed by Yannick Noel Mallet RN, and Taryn McLaughlin RN with experience in precision injection techniques for the scalp, face, and sensitive under-eye area.
Every treatment plan is individualized — depth, delivery method (injections vs. microneedling), and session spacing are tailored to your specific concern, not a generic protocol.
Our PRP Specializations
PRP for Hair Restoration
The non-surgical standard for hair regrowth. Growth factors are delivered directly to the hair bulb, reactivating dormant follicles and improving density. Effective for male and female pattern baldness, postpartum thinning, and overall hair strengthening.
The “Vampire Facial” (PRP + Microneedling)
Microneedling creates micro-channels in the skin; PRP is then applied and stamped in. The combination amplifies collagen induction, reduces acne scars, softens fine lines, and minimizes pores — with less downtime than either treatment performed alone.
Under-Eye Rejuvenation
Unlike tear trough filler, which can sometimes look puffy or shift over time, PRP naturally thickens the skin beneath the eyes. Improved blood flow and elasticity reduce hollowness and dark circles without synthetic volume.
PRP for Acne Scarring
Unlike tear trough filler, which can sometimes look puffy or shift over time, PRP naturally thickens the skin beneath the eyes. Improved blood flow and elasticity reduce hollowness and dark circles without synthetic volume.
Who is this for
PRP is well-suited for clients who want to:
- Slow hair thinning and reactivate follicle activity without surgery or medication
- Improve skin texture, tone, and crepiness without synthetic fillers
- Reduce acne scarring or surgical scars naturally
- Brighten the under-eye area using their own healing factors
- Complement and extend the results of other treatments such as microneedling, CO2RE resurfacing, or Sculptra
Note: PRP may not be recommended for individuals with certain blood disorders, active infections, pregnancy or breastfeeding, or those who smoke heavily, as these conditions can significantly affect platelet concentration and quality. A full health intake is completed at your consultation.

What to Expect (The Sparkle Process)
The Sparkle Experience
Consultation
We assess your hair density or skin concern to confirm you are a strong candidate for PRP and determine the right protocol for your goals.
The Draw
A small blood sample is taken — the sensation is the same as a routine lab test.
The Spin
Your blood is processed in our medical-grade centrifuge to isolate the platelet-rich plasma. This typically takes 10–15 minutes while you relax.
The Treatment
A topical numbing cream is applied first. PRP is then delivered via fine injections or a microneedling device, depending on your personalized treatment plan.
The Recovery
Expect 24–48 hours of mild redness or tightness. Scalp treatments have virtually no visible downtime.
PRP Treatment: Your Pre & Post-Care Guide
To ensure the highest concentration of “Liquid Gold” and the smoothest recovery, please follow these clinical guidelines.
7 Days Before Your Appointment
- Blood thinners: If medically cleared by your doctor, avoid Aspirin, Ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin), Naproxen (Aleve), and high doses of Vitamin E or Fish Oil. These increase bruising risk and reduce platelet function.
- Supplements: Pause herbal supplements such as Ginkgo Biloba, Garlic, and Ginseng.
- Lifestyle: Minimize alcohol and avoid smoking in the days before your appointment — both reduce growth factor concentration in your plasma.
24 Hours Before Your Appointment
- Hydrate. Drink at least 2 litres of water. Well-hydrated clients have easier blood draws and higher-quality plasma.
- Eat a full meal before arriving to prevent lightheadedness during the blood draw.
- For scalp PRP: Wash your hair the morning of your treatment. Avoid heavy gels, sprays, or fibres on the day of your appointment.
Immediately After Your Treatment
- Hands off. Do not touch, rub, or massage the treated area for at least 6 hours.
- Avoid heat. No saunas, hot tubs, steam rooms, or intense exercise for 24 hours.
- Sun protection. After a Vampire Facial, avoid direct sun exposure for 72 hours. Use a clean hat for scalp treatments.
- Product hiatus. No makeup or active skincare (Retinol, Vitamin C, AHAs) for 24–48 hours. Use only the gentle cleanser and recovery products recommended by your Sparkle provider.
What is Normal?
- Mild redness or a “sunburnt” look for 1–2 days
- Slight flakiness on days 3–5 after a Vampire Facial — this is the renewal process, not irritation. Do not pick.
- Scalp tenderness for 1–3 days — Tylenol is safe if needed Hair regrowth results develop gradually and become visible at 3–6 months

PRP Safety, Contraindications & Risks
Common Temporary Side Effects
PRP activates your body’s natural healing response — some temporary reaction is expected and normal:
- Redness and swelling at the injection site, typically resolving within 24–48 hours
- Bruising may occur, particularly in delicate areas such as the under-eye
- Scalp tenderness for 1–3 days following hair restoration treatment
- Skin flakiness on days 3–5 after a Vampire Facial — this reflects the renewal process, not an adverse reaction
Contraindications
PRP is not appropriate for everyone. Treatment may not be recommended if you have:
- Active blood disorders affecting platelet function or clotting
- Active infection in or near the treatment area
- Pregnancy or breastfeeding
- Active cancer or ongoing chemotherapy or radiation treatment
- Severe anemia or clinically low platelet count
- Immunosuppressive therapy
A comprehensive health intake is completed at every initial consultation to confirm your candidacy before any treatment begins.
