Cervos Key PRP / GFC

PRP treatment for hair loss is a method where a person’s own blood is used to help regrow hair. In this treatment, a part of the blood that is rich in special cells called platelets is taken and injected into areas of the scalp where the hair is starting to thin. These platelets have important proteins that help in healing and growing new cells. This can help in improving hair growth.

Cervos Key PRP typically can extract more platelets compared to the other PRP technologies on the market.

What sets Cervos Key PRP apart from other PRP methods is that it’s like a supercharged version of the usual PRP treatments. Imagine PRP as a special juice that helps hair grow. Regular PRP is made from your own blood and has good stuff in it to help with hair growth. Now, Cervos Key PRP is like taking that juice and making it even more powerful by adding extra nutrients. It’s packed with even more of the helpful ingredients, specifically growth factors, which are like magic helpers for hair growth. This means that Cervos Key PRP could potentially do a better job at waking up hair follicles and getting them to grow hair again compared to standard PRP treatments.

PRP is not covered by OHIP. One session of regular PRP costs $400, while advanced PRP/GFC sessions range from $800 to $1200. Each PRP session includes an advanced HairMetrix analysis report to track your progress impartially. We offer both in-office financing options and partner with PayBright by Affirm for flexible financing solutions.

The most common side effects of the treatment are swelling and redness, which usually happen right after the procedure and go away within four to six days. Because the treatment uses your own blood, there’s a very low risk of getting an infection from someone else’s blood. However, although it’s rare, there’s still a small chance of serious problems like infection or scarring.

Phase I: Phase I involves blood extraction from the patient; this blood is spun in a centrifuge to separate the blood’s components. Platelets are obtained and may multiply; this multiplication process generates growth factors, which may ultimately be served as stimuli for the scalp’s cells.

Phase 2: Phase 2 involves platelet/growth factors provided to the scalp. This process promotes the healing of punctures as well as hair growth. Different vitamins, minerals, and hyaluronic acid may be provided after PRP treatment.

As the patient’s own blood is used to prepare PRP, the risk of disease transmissions, allergic reactions, toxicity or rejection is avoided. Other contraindications include patients:

• Who have hematological disorders or concurrent infections;
• Who have immunosuppression;
• Undergoing chemotherapy;
• Suffer from poorly controlled chronic medical conditions;
• Are pregnant or breastfeeding.

When done correctly, most cases of PRP have resulted in some level of improvement following treatment, sometimes with noticeable thicker, healthier-looking hair. It is critical to understand that PRP is not a miracle treatment. The most effective results are often achieved in conjunction with other medical treatments and lifestyle modifications.

In general, PRP does not cure baldness (Androgenic Alopecia). A genetic medical problem always persists. However, regular treatment can significantly slow down the effects of Androgenic Alopecia and significantly increase overall hair density. Maintenance treatments will likely be required in order to maintain the results. However, maintenance treatment frequency varies on individual factor and the type of PRP used. 

Generally, we recommend that you follow our PRP hair restoration pre & post-care guide in order to reap the best results from our PRP hair restoration treatments.

Since Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy may not be effective for everyone, it’s crucial to employ an impartial method for tracking results as objectively as possible. At LMC – Laser Medical Clinic, we utilize the Hair Metrix Camera analysis system developed by Canfield Scientific. This system includes a specialized camera for hair analysis and software that uses high magnification to count and measure hair, providing a detailed report on hair density, thickness, and overall health. Conducting a Hair Metrix analysis is highly beneficial both before beginning treatment.

• Improved Circulation: They enhance blood flow in the treated area, aiding in thickening the hair follicles.
• Hair Follicle Revitalization: Growth factors contribute to the healing and reactivation of dormant hair follicles, leading to an increase in hair count.
• Stimulation of Hair Growth: They activate the papilla cells, essential for new hair growth.

LMC – Laser Medical Clinic utilizes the U225 injection gun to ensure uniform and precise needle depth, along with consistent delivery of plasma. The use of the U225 mesogun for PRP administration also enables us to avoid numbing cream, which can hinder scalp blood circulation.
