"I was chatting with a client last week who asked, 'Rinku, why does one place charge $299 for PRP and another says $900? Is there really a difference?' That conversation stuck with me because it's something we hear all the time at Elev8."
If you've been Googling PRP hair restoration in Canada, you've probably seen prices that range from reasonable to what-on-earth. So today, let’s pull back the curtain and talk honestly about PRP costs, what you’re actually paying for, and whether it's worth it.
The National Range: What Canadians Are Paying for PRP:
The average cost of PRP hair restoration in Canada ranges between $500 to $2,000 per session. Most clients need 3-4 sessions spaced a month apart for initial results, followed by maintenance every 4-6 months.
Why such a big range? Great question.
Why Do PRP Prices Vary So Much?
Here's a breakdown of what affects PRP pricing:
1. Equipment Quality
Not all PRP setups are created equal. At Elev8, we use top-tier centrifuges that meet medical-grade standards. Cheaper setups? They're often uncalibrated or rarely put to use as many clinics offer hundreds of different services. And yes, we calibrate and test ours daily because we know quality matters and PRP is a specialty of ours.
2. Blood Processing Method
The actual way your blood is processed influences the quality of the platelet-rich plasma. Some clinics have inexperience in this area, leading to a lower concentration of growth factors. A lower quality centrifuge or inexperienced practitioner will lead to lesser quality results.
3. Experience of the Provider
This isn’t just about injections. It's about knowing the right depth, angle, and pattern for your unique hair goals. We've treated hundreds of clients and regularly upgrade our training — because injecting PRP isn’t a one-size-fits-all art.
4. Inclusions
Some clinics quote a low base price but charge extra for numbing, scalp prep, or even post-care products. At Elev8, we keep it transparent and include what you need.
5. Too Good to Be True?
Let’s be real—a lot of providers run fire-sale pricing just to get people in the door.
But here’s the catch: it might be cheap upfront, but be prepared for upsells, cross-sells, or worse—a drop in treatment quality or provider expertise. PRP is a technique-sensitive procedure, and poor execution could mean no results at best, or damage at worst.
"If it seems too good to be true, it probably is."

What Our Clients Say
"I actually went somewhere else before Elev8 and it was... well... let’s just say I’m glad I found Rinku. The team explained everything, and the results have been legit."
"I love that it didn’t feel like a typical clinic where they offer hundreds of services. It was personalized, and I could tell they weren’t just trying to sell me something."

So... Is PRP Worth It?
If you're dealing with early-stage hair thinning, stress-related shedding, or postpartum hair changes, PRP can be a game-changer. But it's not for everyone.
That’s why we take the time to assess your scalp health, hair cycle stage, and overall goals. We’ll tell you if it’s not a good fit. No pressure. No hard sell.

"You’re not just paying for the injection. You’re paying for the science, the setup, and the skill."
