At Silverado Medical Clinic, a trusted walk-in clinic in Calgary, AB, we believe that caring for your health goes beyond addressing illness—it’s about maintaining confidence, vitality, and overall well-being. Our experienced team of medical professionals is dedicated to providing patients with safe, effective, and evidence-based treatments that support both health and quality of life.
As part of our holistic approach, Silverado Medical Clinic also offers Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy, a natural, non-surgical treatment designed to promote skin rejuvenation and healing. PRP uses your body’s own growth factors to refresh the skin, reduce signs of aging, and encourage a healthy, radiant complexion—all while aligning with your overall wellness goals. This “liquid gold” treatment leverages the healing power of your own blood to trigger a regenerative response that synthetic alternatives simply cannot mimic.

Versatile Applications for Facial Refreshment

PRP is a remarkably flexible tool in aesthetic medicine, capable of addressing structural and surface-level concerns simultaneously. Much like a family doctor coordinates different aspects of your internal health to ensure overall physical stability, PRP works across multiple layers of the dermis to harmonize your appearance. By injecting these concentrated platelets into specific “trouble zones,” we trigger a localized healing cascade that not only smooths the surface but also strengthens the underlying tissue architecture. This dual-action approach makes it a premier choice for those seeking a refreshed look that feels entirely natural, as it relies on your body’s own biological resources rather than synthetic additives.
PRP can improve the following facial and body aspects:
  • Creases and fine lines on the forehead
  • Crepey skin and dark circles under the eyes
  • The laxity appearance of the upper eyelid
  • Open pores and smile lines
  • Nasolabial folds
  • Backs of the hands
  • Poor skin texture and dullness
  • Wrinkled appearance of the décolletage
  • Necklace lines and laxity of the neck
Beyond just filling a line, PRP acts as a biological “fertilizer,” improving the microcirculation in these areas. This increased blood flow brings more oxygen and nutrients to the skin’s surface, resulting in a healthy glow that topical creams simply cannot achieve. Whether you are looking to firm up the delicate skin around the eyes or restore a smoother texture to your neck and chest, PRP provides a comprehensive solution that evolves with your skin over time.

The Science of Longevity: Stimulating Collagen

Results from PRP therapy for facial rejuvenation are more sustainable compared to various other non-surgical procedures. The key benefit of PRP is that it stimulates the production of collagen and elastin in the treated site, which will eventually plump and volumize the skin from within. This helps increase the longevity of results because the improvement is biological, not just mechanical.
Open pores are a refractory facial problem that bothers many people and often resists traditional topical creams. PRP helps in treating these stubborn pores by tightening the skin and improving overall skin quality for a long time. Furthermore, PRP can improve the texture of the facial skin, which naturally changes and turns dull and coarse with age. By reintroducing concentrated growth factors, we effectively “remind” the skin how to repair itself, leading to a smoother, more refined surface.

Tailored Treatment for Every Generation

PRP therapy can benefit patients of any age, making it a staple in long-term skin maintenance. It can help younger patients achieve an improvement in the quality of their skin and target early concerns like acne scarring or dullness before they become permanent fixtures. It can also benefit older patients by providing more specific, targeted treatment of deep-set age-related skin concerns and significant volume loss.
Treatment protocols for PRP will vary from one patient to another, which directly impacts the longevity of your results. Generally, patients over 40 require an initial course consisting of three treatments spaced over four to six weeks to build a solid foundation of new collagen. Younger patients may instead require only one sitting to see a significant boost. Because everyone’s natural aging process moves at a different speed, some patients may find they need more frequent sessions to keep up with their body’s metabolic pace.

What to Expect: Timelines and Maintenance

In most cases, patients notice visible results in three to four weeks as the initial healing phase concludes. However, the true beauty of PRP is its “slow burn” effect; results continue to improve for up to 6 months following treatment as the new collagen fibres mature and thicken.
With PRP, patients get long-term benefits; however, it is important to understand that results are not permanent. Just as your family doctor recommends regular check-ups to maintain your physical health, providers advise patients to get a periodic maintenance treatment 1–2 times per year after the initial course. This helps “top up” your growth factor levels and combat the ongoing effects of environmental stress and aging.

Individual Results and the Power of Biology

It is difficult to precisely predict how well the PRP treatment works for an individual. Some patients display more dramatic, longer-lasting results compared to others, despite receiving the same procedure and care. Factors such as your hydration levels, nutrition, and even your sleep patterns can influence the quality of the platelets we harvest from your blood.
At Silverado Medical Clinic, we take the time to evaluate your unique skin profile to ensure PRP is the most effective path forward for you. By combining the safety of a clinical environment with the latest in regenerative medicine, we help you achieve a version of yourself that feels refreshed, natural, and authentically you.
