A natural and effective treatment
Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) treatment is an effective method for stimulating hair regrowth in both men and women. It involves taking a blood sample, isolating the platelets and plasma, then injecting them into areas of hair loss. The growth factors present in the platelets promote hair regrowth and improve hair quality.
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP)
PRP uses your own platelets to stimulate natural tissue regeneration. Effective for musculoskeletal injuries and hair regrowth.
Musculoskeletal PRP
Injection of concentrated plasma directly into the injured area to accelerate natural healing and reduce chronic pain.
Capillary PRP - Hair regrowth
Injection of PRP into the scalp to stimulate hair follicles and promote regrowth in men and women.
Blood sampling
A small sample of your own blood is taken - identical to a standard blood test. Simple, quick and painless.
Centrifugation & concentration
The blood is centrifuged to extract platelet-concentrated plasma - rich in regenerative growth factors.
Targeted injection
PRP is injected directly into the target area - joint, tendon or scalp - under ultrasound guidance if necessary.
Tests and examinations to detect heart disease
We offer essential cardiovascular assessments such as the resting electrocardiogram (ECG), ABPM and Holter. Resting ECG, a rapid 10-minute test, evaluates the bioelectrical activity of the heart using electrodes placed on the chest, arms and legs. ABPM, an ambulatory blood pressure monitor worn for 24 hours, is the gold standard for assessing blood pressure. Finally, the Holter is a small device that records heart rhythm continuously over 24 to 48 hours, even during daily activities. These tests are quick to install and require a doctor's prescription.
*A medical prescription is required for these examinations. Examinations with interpretation of results are available from 50$ and are not covered by the Régie de l'assurance maladie du Québec (RAMQ).
ECG, Holter and MAPA - Rapid cardiac tests
Essential tests to assess the heart's electrical activity and blood pressure - quick to set up, without hospitalization, with results sent to your doctor.
Resting ECG
A 10-minute electrocardiogram that evaluates the heart's bioelectrical activity via electrodes placed on the chest, arms and legs.
Cardiac Holter (24-48h)
Small, portable device that continuously records heart rate over 24 to 48 hours, even during daily activities.
MAPA - 24h Blood Pressure
Ambulatory blood pressure monitor worn for 24 hours - the gold standard for assessing hypertension and pressure variations over 24 hours.
Treatment for skin disorders
Liquid nitrogen treatment, also known as cryotherapy, is an effective and precise method of eliminating skin imperfections. The process involves applying a small amount of liquid nitrogen directly to the skin, making it possible to treat a variety of dermatological conditions.
This treatment is commonly used for warts, molluscum contagiosum, solar lentigos, acrochordons, condylomas and seborrheic keratoses. Cryotherapy offers a fast, targeted solution, ideal for treating these conditions safely.
Liquid nitrogen cryotherapy
Fast, precise and effective treatment to eliminate benign skin lesions. Liquid nitrogen at -196°C destroys targeted cells without affecting surrounding tissue.

Frequently asked questions - Tests and treatments
Infiltrations, ultrasound, PRP, cardiovascular assessments, cryotherapy and restorative tattooing - clear answers to your questions about our specialized services at Clinique Omicron.
Cortisone infiltration is a targeted anti-inflammatory injection indicated for rapid relief of joint and soft tissue pain. It is recommended for osteoarthritis (knee, hip, shoulder), tendonitis, bursitis, carpal tunnel syndrome and plantar fasciitis. All our infiltrations are performed under ultrasound guidance for optimum precision.
Yes. At Clinique Omicron, all infiltrations - cortisone, PRP and viscosupplementation - are performed under real-time ultrasound guidance. This approach ensures maximum precision in targeting the area to be treated, minimizing risks and optimizing treatment efficacy.
Cortisone rapidly reduces inflammation and pain. PRP (platelet-rich plasma) uses your own growth factors to regenerate tissue - ideal for chronic tendinopathy and mild osteoarthritis. Viscosupplementation injects hyaluronic acid into the joint to lubricate it and reduce the pain associated with advanced osteoarthritis. Your doctor will determine the most appropriate treatment during your consultation.
We offer three types of ultrasound: musculoskeletal (tendons, ligaments, infiltration guidance), abdominal and pelvic (liver, kidneys, uterus, ovaries), and thyroid and soft tissue (nodules, cervical lymph nodes). These examinations are free of ionizing radiation, and results are promptly forwarded to your attending physician.
Yes, a doctor's prescription is required for most diagnostic ultrasounds to ensure that the examination is appropriate for your medical condition. If you don't yet have a doctor, our team can refer you to one in advance.
Yes, capillary PRP is an effective method for stimulating hair regrowth in men and women suffering from mild to moderate alopecia. The growth factors contained in concentrated plasma reactivate dormant hair follicles. A protocol of 3 to 4 sessions is generally recommended for optimal results.
We offer resting ECG (10-minute assessment of the heart's electrical activity), cardiac Holter (continuous recording over 24 to 48 hours) and MAPA (ambulatory measurement of blood pressure over 24 hours). These tests are quick to set up, do not require hospitalization, and the results are sent directly to your doctor.
No, these tests are not covered by RAMQ. Fees starting at 50 $ apply depending on the type of examination, including interpretation of results by a physician. Your private insurance may cover all or part of the cost - check with your insurer before your consultation.
Cryotherapy involves applying liquid nitrogen at -196°C directly to skin lesions to destroy them by freezing. It is used for warts, molluscums, seborrheic keratoses, condylomas, solar lentigos and actinic keratoses. The procedure is rapid (5 to 30 seconds per lesion), requires no general anaesthetic, and the lesion falls off naturally after 1 to 3 weeks.
On average, 1 to 3 sessions are required, depending on the nature and size of the lesion. Some superficial lesions respond as early as the first session. Complete healing generally takes 1 to 3 weeks. Follow-up is planned to assess response to treatment.
Areola restoration tattooing is a medical tattoo performed after breast surgery (mastectomy, reconstruction, asymmetry correction) to recreate natural, realistic areolas. The session lasts 2 to 3 hours, with an ultra-natural 3D effect. Medical pigments last 3 to 5 years. A touch-up is included if required.
Most of our services are available within 24 to 48 hours. You can book an appointment online via our reservation portal, by telephone at 514 606-3350, or in person at one of our points of service in Quebec. Prior teleconsultation is also available for certain services.
