- Consultation: $100 CAD. Treatment price is confirmed for your individual plan. Call to enquire or review what your quote covers.
- Expected change
- Changes, when they occur, develop gradually and may include an improvement in the appearance of skin texture and quality. Individual response and treatment protocols vary.
- Recovery
- Redness, swelling, tenderness, bruising and pinpoint bleeding can occur. The treated area may look inflamed for several days, particularly when PRP is combined with microneedling.
Risks and suitability
- Pain, bruising, swelling, bleeding or infection can occur
- Redness or irritation may temporarily worsen
- Some people notice little or no meaningful improvement
Using your own blood does not make PRP risk-free, and the same evidence does not apply to every proposed use. For skin, ask whether any apparent benefit could come from a combined procedure rather than PRP alone.
A consultation does not guarantee that treatment will be offered and does not oblige you to proceed. Your practitioner will discuss suitable options, alternatives, material risks, limitations, recovery, price and consent before treatment.

About the treatment
A plan shaped around you
PRP stands for platelet-rich plasma. A small sample of your blood is processed to concentrate the platelet-containing plasma, which is then injected or combined with microneedling. Dr Varma may recommend PRP when the goal is to support skin quality, texture and a fresher-looking appearance through a gradual treatment plan.
