Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy has become one of the most trusted regenerative treatments in modern wellness and aesthetics — and for good reason. At Seven Trees Wellness in North Vancouver, we use advanced PRP techniques to help clients heal faster, restore hair growth, and rejuvenate their skin naturally, without synthetic fillers or invasive procedures.
Whether you are struggling with chronic joint pain, thinning hair, or skin concerns like fine lines and acne scarring, PRP offers a powerful, science-backed solution that works with your body rather than against it.
In this guide, we break down everything you need to know about PRP therapy: how it works, what it treats, what results to expect, and who makes the best candidate.
What Is Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy?
PRP therapy is a regenerative medical treatment that uses growth factors found in your own blood to stimulate repair, reduce inflammation, and accelerate natural healing. During treatment, a small amount of your blood is drawn and spun in a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets. These platelets contain high levels of bioactive proteins responsible for tissue repair and collagen production.
Once prepared, the PRP solution is injected back into the target area — whether that’s the scalp, joints, or facial tissue — kickstarting a healing response from within.
Because PRP uses your own blood, it is considered extremely safe with minimal risk of reaction or complications.
PRP for Joint Pain, Tendon Injuries, and Musculoskeletal Conditions
PRP has gained major popularity as a non-surgical treatment for chronic pain and tissue injuries. It is especially effective in areas with limited natural blood flow, where the body struggles to heal on its own.
Common conditions treated with PRP include:
Tendonitis and tendinosis
Tennis elbow and golfer’s elbow
Knee pain (including early osteoarthritis)
Rotator cuff strains
Ligament injuries
Plantar fasciitis
Chronic muscle strain
Unlike corticosteroid injections — which offer short-term relief but may weaken tissue over time — PRP promotes true regeneration, strengthening the treated area and improving long-term mobility.
Why PRP Works Better for Long-Term Healing
Enhances collagen production
Stimulates cell repair
Reduces chronic inflammation
Strengthens tendons and ligaments
Supports long-lasting structural recovery
Clients at Seven Trees Wellness often experience noticeable improvement after a series of treatments, especially when combined with physiotherapy or guided home exercise programs.
PRP for Hair Restoration
PRP therapy is one of the most effective non-surgical treatments for hair thinning and early-stage hair loss. The growth factors found in PRP help extend the hair’s anagen (growth) phase, repair weakened follicles, and increase hair density.
PRP Hair Results You Can Expect
Thicker, fuller strands
Reduced shedding
Stronger, healthier hair follicles
Improved scalp circulation
PRP is most effective in areas with thinning hair, rather than fully bald patches.
Recommended Treatment Schedule
3 initial sessions, spaced one month apart
Maintenance treatments every 6–12 months
At Seven Trees Wellness, we tailor treatment plans based on age, degree of hair loss, and overall scalp health to help clients achieve maximum improvement.
PRP for Facial Rejuvenation (“Vampire Facial”)
In aesthetics, PRP is widely known for its ability to refresh the skin naturally. Because the injected solution is rich in growth factors, the treatment boosts collagen, elastin, and cell turnover, targeting multiple signs of aging at once.
PRP Facial Benefits
Improved skin tone and texture
Reduction in fine lines
Increased elasticity
Diminished acne scars
Brighter, more youthful glow
Some clients choose PRP as an alternative to dermal fillers or combine PRP with microneedling for enhanced results.
At Seven Trees Wellness, our clients love PRP facials because the results look natural — there is no “overfilled” or artificial appearance.
Who Is a Good Candidate for PRP Therapy?
PRP is ideal for clients looking for gradual, natural improvement without surgery or pharmaceuticals.
Good candidates include people with:
Mild to moderate hair thinning
Chronic tendon or joint pain
Early signs of aging
Acne scarring
Sagging or dull skin
Interest in regenerative medicine
Who Should Avoid PRP?
You may not be a suitable candidate if you have:
Autoimmune disorders
Uncontrolled diabetes
Blood clotting conditions
Active skin infections
Severe hair loss with no active follicles
