At Clinique Main d'Or in Montreal, we use your own blood to prepare an autologous, biocompatible PRP (platelet-rich plasma) solution, reducing the risk of reaction. In aesthetic medicine, this treatment is sometimes called "facial vampire". The aim is to improve skin quality by stimulating cellular activity (fibroblasts) and the production of collagen and elastin. PRP can also be used on the scalp, where it targets follicles and can contribute to hair stimulation. To visualize the type of improvements possible, before-and-after examples can be presented in consultation.
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is obtained from a blood sample. The sample is centrifuged to separate the components and concentrate the platelets. Plasma contains proteins and growth factors which, when reinjected, stimulate local cellular activity and the synthesis of collagen and elastin. PRP has been used for many years in a variety of medical specialties; its aesthetic applications are developing to improve skin radiance and texture.
PRP helps preserve the hydration and quality of skin exposed to aggressions (tobacco, pollution, UV). It can be considered as early as the twenties for a radiance-enhancing effect and to delay the appearance of certain fine lines.
PRP's growth factors stimulate local microcirculation and collagen production: skin can look suppler, more toned, with a fresher complexion after a series of sessions.
From the age of 40 onwards, wrinkles set in and the skin can become wrinkled, especially after heavy sun exposure. PRP supports collagen neosynthesis. A fibrin mesh forms transiently after injection, providing support for surrounding tissues.
Common indication: PRP injections (a pale yellow, highly fluid preparation) can lighten the appearance of dark circles and reduce their marking in some people.
Injections of PRP into the scalp target the pilosebaceous bulb and microcirculation. They can help slow hair loss and support regrowth over the course of several sessions.
This technique can be used to treat
PRP is generally not indicated for completely bald areas where follicles are absent.
After a short medical questionnaire, a blood sample is taken from the arm and centrifuged for around 5 minutes to concentrate the platelets. Depending on the indication, the treatment is performed with or without local anaesthetic. The area is disinfected, then the PRP preparation is injected using a fine needle. The depth, volume and distribution of injections are adapted to the area and objective (several points per session).
PRP is part of a regenerative and preventive medicine approach, with the advantage of using autologous material (derived from your own blood) and therefore no synthetic fillers. Side effects are generally limited (redness, transient sensitivity at injection sites). For capillary health, PRP is a popular option for people who prefer a non-surgical approach.
BEFORE: if possible (and depending on your professional's advice), avoid taking bleeding-promoting medication the week before the treatment. Tanned or untanned skin: the treatment can be performed.
PENDANT: A session lasts an average of 45 minutes. The treatment may be uncomfortable; a local anesthetic may be offered.
APRÈS: Same-day resumption of activities in most cases.
SUITES: Mild redness, small echymoses and discrete edema may occur and usually resolve within a few days.
The results are progressive:
A radiance-enhancing effect can be rapidly perceived, while texture (suppleness, softness) often improves over the weeks. For aesthetic indications, a protocol of 3 sessions spaced 3 to 4 weeks apart is generally recommended. An annual maintenance session may be proposed if required.
Some people notice an improvement in hair density and quality after the first few sessions; reduced hair loss and signs of regrowth may appear after 2 to 3 months. A protocol of 3 to 5 sessions (every 3-4 weeks) is common, with maintenance every 6 months depending on progress. Results vary from person to person.

PRP hair treatment is a non-surgical therapy that uses the patient's own platelet-rich plasma to stimulate hair growth and reduce hair loss. By injecting PRP directly into the scalp, the procedure promotes the growth of new hair follicles and strengthens existing ones. At Clinique Main D'or in Montreal, PRP hair treatment begins with a thorough consultation to assess your hair loss and determine the best course of action. The treatment itself is minimally invasive, with minimal downtime, and patients typically notice improved hair density and growth over time.
PRP injections involve extracting platelet-rich plasma from the patient's blood and injecting it into specific areas of the body to stimulate healing, regeneration and rejuvenation.
PRP (platelet-rich plasma) treatment is a non-surgical regenerative procedure that uses the patient's own blood to stimulate natural healing and rejuvenation. Clinique Main D'or in Montreal is a leading provider of PRP treatments, including PRP facial and vampire lifts, for a variety of aesthetic and therapeutic purposes.
A PRP facial involves the application of PRP, derived from the patient's own blood, to the face to stimulate collagen production, improve skin texture and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. A vampire facelift, on the other hand, combines PRP treatment with microneedling to enhance PRP penetration into the skin, further promoting skin rejuvenation. Both treatments are offered at Clinique Main D'or in Montreal.
Before the vampire lift, your skin will be cleansed and a topical anesthetic may be applied for added comfort. During treatment, microneedling creates tiny punctures in the skin, followed by the application of PRP. After the procedure, you may experience temporary redness, swelling and mild discomfort, which usually disappear within a few days. Over time, you'll notice an improvement in skin tone, texture and overall appearance due to increased collagen production and cell renewal.
The cost of PRP at Clinique Main D'or varies according to the type of procedure and the patient's individual needs. For more precise pricing information, please schedule a consultation with one of our specialists, who can provide a personalized treatment plan and cost estimate.

Clinique Main D'or in Montreal offers vampire facelifts to help patients achieve their desired aesthetic goals.
