PRP Injections & PRF Injections in Etobicoke, Toronto
The experienced dermatologists and staff at Kingsway Dermatology & Cosmetic Centre are dedicated to providing you with the most effective and innovative cosmetic and medical dermatology services available, so you can achieve all your aesthetic and skin care goals.
Our cutting-edge cosmetic dermatology treatments include PRP and PRF: which are both natural treatments that soften lines, improve skin quality, reduce inflammation, and improve cellular regeneration. PRP is also a primary treatment that promotes hair retention and growth for those that are experiencing significant hair fallout, while PRF helps growth last for even longer.
But what are they, and how do they work?
ABOUT PRP THERAPY
PRP stands for platelet-rich plasma. For this treatment, the platelets, which are blood cells that promote the healing of wounds, are extracted from your own cells. A small amount of blood is withdrawn, and then the platelets in the blood are isolated using a centrifuge to extract them. Then, these platelets are injected back into the treatment areas.
These platelets release growth factors that stimulate the production of collagen and new tissue, so this therapy is also used to promote wound healing. As a cosmetic treatment, your body will respond naturally to these cells, and you will see improvement in your skin’s tone and texture.

What is Platelet-Rich Fibrin Treatment?
Just as PRP helps to reduce inflammation and regenerate tissues on a cellular level, PRF works with a similar mechanism. The main difference is that PRF contains the enzyme thrombin. Once injected into the treatment area, thrombin forms a clot, almost like a mesh net, that keeps PRP trapped in the injection site location so that the necessary growth factors remain in place for a longer period of time. This allows for PRF treatment to continue to release growth factors, improving cellular regeneration, for approximately four weeks. PRF also includes a higher concentration of white blood cells, fibrin, and a small amount of stem cells that remain in the bloodstream for further healing.
How PRP Is Used
PLATELET RICH FIBRIN
Adding fibrin allows the PRP to form a clot naturally without addition of any chemicals and without red and white blood cells that normally present in a blood clot that are pro-inflammatory. Benefits include:
- Long lasting growth factor stimulation – ie more stimulation of collagen synthesis and repair as the growth factors will be released slowly from the fibrin clot
- Provides a ‘scaffolding’ : this is a 3-dimensional structure around which new collagen fibres will be layered down (like putting bricks up on the frame of a house)
REGENERATING COLLAGEN BOOSTER
Drench your skin in nutrients and growth factors with Kingsway’s signature transdermal application of your own blood platelets AND non-cross linked hyaluronic acid placed directly into the middle layer of the epidermis called the mesoderm. This megawatt treatment is optimal for hydration, healing, collagen induction, tissue repair and tightening.
PRP with MICRONEEDLING
Supercharge collagen inducing microneedling by adding PRP to boost collagen and help reduce inflammation in the skin.
Conditions Treated with PRP & PRF
PRP and PRF injection treatments are ideal for areas on the neck, face, décolletage, and scalp. Some of the most popular issues that these injections can treat include fine lines around the eyes and mouth, volume loss in the cheeks, and tone, texture, and wrinkles in the neck and upper chest area. PRP in specific is a proven treatment for those experiencing hair loss.

Patient testimonials
Kelly, the managing director, is also fantastic—always pleasant and so thorough in explaining everything. What I really appreciate about this practice is that they don't push unnecessary treatments or procedures. In fact, when I asked about a couple of things, I was told I didn’t need them, which really speaks volumes about their ethics and commitment to patient care. I feel like I'm in great hands here and wouldn’t go anywhere else!
results are unbelievable topnotch service and hospitality is next level ,she always treats me like her personal guest i never feel like a client with her ,she answers all my queries happily and i am still in the middle of getting my final results but katie is just amazing .
Katie is very knowledgeable and professional. From the beginning Katie put my mind at ease and made me feel as comfortable as possible.
She is so kind and friendly and I always look forward to our conversations during my treatments.
I would highly recommend Kingsway Cosmetic Centre without hesitation to anyone. Katie and the rest of the staff have all been terrific.

While there I saw they can remove sun spots and wrinkles.
I booked a consultation and during that I decided I want to give laser a go! Such a great place!
I couldn’t be happier with their staff, service, cleanliness and experience.
Thank you so much!
I highly recommend this clinic.
The results from my treatment are amazing! I could not be happier.
Special thanks to Steph and Katie who went above and beyond. Personable and kind, they made me feel at ease and not like an end-of-day appointment burden.
Dr F. Redlick
As I was suffering from a terrible skin condition I visited several Dr
How had no clue of what they are doing; and prescribed me all kinds of creams. Every cream I tried made the condition worse but, the moment Dr Redlick, looked at my skin, immediately; she knew the problem and cured.
A month ago I started the treatment and the disease is vanishing.
Dr Bartolo, St Catherine’s,
Dr Simon, Dr Kelada Sedra;
Have no clue of skin problems.
And that’s why I suffered for 3 years.
Please if you are in need of a Dermatologist. Kingsway has the solution.
I'm a little thrown off by some of the reviews that mention the clinic trying to push expensive products onto their patients. My experience has been the opposite as Dr. Ruppel has given me the cheapest options possible, along with samples of a product to use before we commit to anything medication due to my lack of insurance. It was much appreciated as it helped narrow down the medication for her to prescribe after the fact.
If I were to nitpick, the initial appointment took around 7 months to schedule. That being said, I doubt this is exclusive only to Kingsway Derm.
Highly recommend!
I can't stress enough how much I appreciate Katie's expertise and the care she puts into her work. The results I've seen so far have exceeded my expectations, and I can't wait to see the final outcome after completing all my sessions. I highly recommend Katie to anyone looking for exceptional IPL laser treatments. Thank you, Katie, for your exceptional attention and care and for making this journey so positive and rewarding!
Katie is wonderful to work with, highly recommend Kingsway Dermatology and Cosmetic Centre.
My treatments were effective and I will be returning to the clinic for follow up maintenance.
It really doesn’t get any better the Doctors are great…
Cheers,
Bradley
I received a laser treatment from Katie and I can’t recommend her enough. Katie put me at ease and went above and beyond to make sure I got the best results.
If you’re looking for a trustworthy clinic that offers effective treatments and a pleasant experience, look no further!
I saw Katie who expertly handled the Excel V laser and answered all of my questions. She addressed all of my problem areas and particularly focused on the periorbital area I was targeting. Not only, the aftercare was excellent and I appreciated Katie's follow up. It's now been around a week since the treatment and I no longer have blue veins surrounding my eyes.
I'm extremely happy with the results, and if I'm in Toronto and in need of a touch up, I'll surely stop by again! Thanks.
Dr. Yuliya was very personable and made me feel comfortable. She shared her personal experience and did not make me feel pressured to do any procedure that I was not comfortable with. She provided all the information and options in order for me to make an informed decision.
My laser specialist Emily was incredible. Emily was so kind and really made me feel comfortable in every session. She is definitely in the right career and has a bright future, a true asset to Kingsway D.
My treatments - I have always looked after my skin but I was starting to notice age spots and a lack of the youthful glow we all want ;).
I purchased a pkg of 6 IPL treatments and am pleased with the results overall.
Everyone’s pain threshold is different and Emily was very good at adjusting if needed. Every session she would start with a pulse or two to gage my tolerance that day. These treatments are are a little painful (like elastic-band snaps to the skin) but no pain no gain! …they do work. I had zero down time (which I understand varies by client) & have noticed a difference. I will do a few more treatments and then continue with maintenance (very important).
I’m 60 this year and wish I had considered options like this years ago.Thank you Emily for rejuvenating my face!
Dr. Fischer and the other dermatology staff explain treatment options and carefully treat my trivial and more serious skin problems with understanding and empathy.
Vera
Amazing and friendly staff! 10/10 experience.
Dr. Redlick made me feel extremely comfortable and was so helpful.
I have noticed improvements with the skin, however, was expecting more improvements for the cost and amount of sessions received.
Only con was parking. Very narrow underground. Also, the cosmetic side isn’t as good as the Derm side. It isn’t as good as it can be. I’ve been to more places that are more advanced or have effective treatments rather than geared towards basic and fast. If you’re paying premium prices, I expect better service.
The staff are amazing.
Very pleased with the procedures that I had done with Dr. Poulos.
About the environs well, it's a very modern clinic. Really clean and stylish; more like a salon or spa than a clinic! Friendly staff as well. Also, there's pay parking in the garage below the building, very convenient. Recommended.
Your amazing !!!
I highly recommend Kingsway dermatology for all your needs on aging very well !!!
Thanks 🙏
Jennifer
P.S The products are fabulous ❤️
During my follow up appointment this week, Dr. Velykoredko was very efficient, pleasant to talk to and better still gave me a clean bill of health! It is so nice to see this clinic being so focused on the patient.
I’ll be back again soon. Kingsway are now my absolute “go to” in Toronto for any future procedures. 5 stars ⭐️
Dr. Elena Poulos, and what a wonderful experience it was!
I had some dermatology issues that needed to be addressed.
Dr. Poulos solved all of these issues.
Dr. Poulos is extremely professional, and competent, very pleasant and has a very good sense of humour.
I left the appointment feeling extremely satisfied and reassured, and with all my concerns resolved.
We have the highest praise for
Dr. Poulos and her staff.
The experience could not have been any better. And it vastly improved my day to day life. We highly recommend
Dr. Elena Poulos.
Best Regards,
Robert and Anna Lowery.
I recently visited Kaite at Kingsway Dermatology Clinic for a treatment with their Halo laser, and I'm absolutely amazed by the results! My skin has never looked better – it's radiant, smooth, and feels rejuvenated.
From the moment I walked in, the clinic's staff were professional, knowledgeable, and attentive. They took the time to explain the Halo laser treatment process and what to expect, which eased my concerns and made me feel comfortable with my decision.
The procedure itself was surprisingly easy and virtually painless. The Halo laser worked its magic, targeting skin imperfections and boosting collagen production to leave my skin looking fabulous. The best part? The results were visible almost immediately!
I can't recommend Kingsway Dermatology Clinic and their Halo laser treatment enough. If you're looking to transform your skin, this is the place to go. Trust me, you won't be disappointed!
In terms of Kingsway Dermatology and Cosmetic Centre as a whole, the first time I came to Kingsway Dermatology was nearly ten years ago when I was a teenager and I can attest that the excellent service and care they provide has not changed in the past decade. You can expect the utmost professionalism, knowledge, and kindness at this clinic. I would strongly recommend choosing Kingsway Dermatology for your needs.
The clinic is very clean and the staff was very friendly. The location is very easy to get to. There's also paid parking above ground and underground.
How PRP and PRF Are Used at Kingsway
Frequently Asked Questions
Is PRP or PRF Right for Me?
Both PRP and PRF are popular choices for patients seeking a more natural solution for their cosmetic dermatology needs, but it may not be right for everyone. When you come to Kingsway for your consultation, we’ll speak with you about your skin concerns, lifestyle, and habits, and review your medical history to see if you’d be a good fit for what either treatment offers. If not, we can recommend one of several other skin rejuvenation procedures we offer.
For hair loss, we recommend getting a diagnosis from your family doctor prior to coming in to discuss if PRP for hair retention and growth is right for you.
Do PRP or PRF Treatments Hurt?
Neither are generally painful, though you may feel a small prick of pain during the initial blood draw followed by shallower pricking sensations at the injection site. Depending on the sensitivity level of the treatment area, we may use a topical anesthetic to minimize discomfort.
Do Either Treatments Require Downtime?
The length of your PRP or PRF session will depend on the treatment areas and other factors, but they tend to run approximately 45 minutes to an hour. Afterward, you can resume most of your daily activities, but some may be limited as your body begins its natural healing process. At your consultation, we’ll be able to give you a better idea of what your personal aftercare plan will look like.
When Will I See PRP or PRF Results?
Most patients see results from PRP and PRF injections within a few weeks, and they will improve over the next one to two months as your body increases its collagen production. Results tend to last for one to two years, but this may depend on external factors like sun exposure, age, hormone levels, and your cells’ natural rate of regeneration. PRF results may show for even longer afterward due to the enzyme thrombin’s function within the body. Many patients choose to do a maintenance session once or twice a year to maintain their results and maintain the continued benefits of PRP and PRF.
