PRP/PRF stimulates a controlled inflammatory response to produce new collagen and tighten the skin. This unique blend of wound healing and growth factor platelets can rejuvenate your skin by minimizing fine lines and aid in improving your collagen quality and levels. When injected, the growth factors that are contained in the PRP/PRF can help improve the look of wrinkles, fine lines while promoting the production of your own collagen to aid in volume enhancement. PRF filler is most popular as an under eye treatment. PRP/PRF is known as a “natural filler” treatment that gives a more youthful appearance to the skin with minimal downtime. There are virtually no risks of allergies or sensitivity as PRP is derived from your own blood. PRP improves overall skin texture, decreases the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles around the mouth and eyes, and plumps hollowing areas such as tear trough grooves, cheeks, and temples. PRP can also help smooth both acne and surgical scars. For best results we recommend 3-5 treatments depending on the skin condition you are targeting. For this reason packages are discounted.


Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) for Under Eye Rejuvenation

Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy is a cutting-edge treatment designed to rejuvenate the under-eye area. It utilizes the body's own growth factors to promote cellular regeneration, effectively reducing fine lines and wrinkles.

As a Registered Nurse, I have worked in Oncology (primarily chemotherapy) for over ten years. Prior to becoming a nurse, I was interested in a career in aesthetics, so this addition in my nursing practice simply makes sense.

In some ways, oncology and medical aesthetics could not be more different! But there are many skills that I have honed as an RN in cancer care that can be transferred to my work at Rise:

  • client safety, assessment, education, and comfort is always paramount.
  • injections must be precise as well as gentle.
  • connecting with clients and helping to put them at ease will always be my favourite part of my practice.

I consider medical aesthetics an aspect of self-care that can enhance our overall feeling of wellness. I look forward to consulting with you along with the extraordinary team at Rise!
