PRP Treatment Pre and Post Care

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) uses growth factors from your own blood to support tissue repair, collagen production, skin rejuvenation, and hair restoration. Following these instructions will help maximize your results and ensure a smooth recovery.

Pre Care

Increase Water Intake (24–48 Hours Before)

Drink plenty of water before your appointment.

Proper hydration helps improve blood collection and the quality of your PRP treatment.

Avoid Blood Thinners (5–7 Days Before)

If medically approved by your physician, avoid aspirin, ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin), naproxen (Aleve), fish oil, vitamin E, and other supplements that may increase bruising.

Avoid Alcohol (24 Hours Before)

Alcohol may increase bruising and can negatively affect platelet quality.

Avoid alcoholic beverages for at least 24 hours before treatment.

Avoid Smoking

Smoking may reduce circulation and interfere with the body’s natural healing process.

Eat A Healthy Meal

Eat a normal meal before your appointment.

PRP treatments involve a blood draw, and eating beforehand may help prevent lightheadedness.

Stay Hydrated

Continue drinking water throughout the day before your appointment.

Hydration helps support treatment quality and recovery.

Inform Your Provider

Please inform your provider if you have a bleeding disorder, blood disorder, active infection, cancer, are pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking prescription blood thinners.

Arrive With Clean Skin

If PRP is being used for skin rejuvenation, please arrive with clean skin free of makeup, lotions, and skincare products whenever possible.

Post Care

Immediately After Treatment (First 24 Hours)

Avoid Touching The Treated Area

Avoid rubbing, scratching, massaging, or applying excessive pressure to the treatment area.

Avoid Excessive Sweating

Avoid strenuous exercise, heavy lifting, hot yoga, saunas, steam rooms, and excessive sweating for at least 24 hours.

Avoid Alcohol And Smoking

Avoid alcohol and smoking for at least 24 hours after treatment whenever possible.

These may interfere with the body’s healing process.

Avoid Anti-Inflammatory Medications

Avoid aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxen, and other anti-inflammatory medications unless directed by your physician.

PRP works by stimulating your body’s natural healing response, and anti-inflammatory medications may reduce this effect.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water after treatment to support recovery and tissue healing.

For The Next Few Days

Expect Mild Redness Or Swelling

Mild redness, tenderness, swelling, bruising, or sensitivity may occur depending on the treatment area.

These effects are usually temporary and improve within several days.

Use Gentle Skincare

If PRP was used on the face or skin, use gentle cleansers and moisturizers.

Avoid aggressive skincare products until the skin has recovered.

Avoid Excessive Sun Exposure

Protect treated areas from direct sunlight and wear SPF daily when appropriate.

Be Patient With Results

PRP stimulates natural tissue regeneration and collagen production.

Results develop gradually over time and continue improving as the body’s healing process progresses.

Follow Your Treatment Plan

Many patients achieve the best results through a series of treatments.

Follow your provider’s recommendations regarding future sessions and maintenance treatments.
