The morning of your Treatment:
Specific Instructions for Pre and Post PRP Treatment:
Increase your fluid intake so that you are drinking at least 1 Litre of water a day from 1 day before PRP up until 3 days after. On the day of your procedure, we recommend having a 500ml bottle of water before your session.
PRP does not require any specific changes in your diet.
Avoid Aspirin, Ibuprofen, Naproxen and Voltarol and any other anti-inflammatory medications for 1 day before and 3 days after your treatment. You may take paracetamol if needed.
Avoid Alcohol for at least 1 day before your PRP session, ideally 3. We strongly advise to stop smoking 3 days prior to your session. Both can be re-started 3 days after the procedure.
Discontinue blood thinning agents such as Vitamin E, Vitamin A, Ginko, Garlic, Flax Cod Liver Oil and Multivitamins 1 week before your procedure. These can be re-started 1 week after your PRP session.
*If you take Iron and Vitamin D these two can be continued throughout.
Avoid any kind of strenuous exercise including the Gym, Sauna, Steamroom, Swimming and Jacuzzi for 3 days after your session.
You can colour your Hair up to 3 days before and 3 days after your session.
Use your regular shampoo on the morning of the day of your PRP session. Please shower 24 hours after your procedure upon which you may resume use of pH-balanced shampoo if needed.
The facial redness following PRP facials usually resolves within 48 hours but on rare occasions can take up to 5 days to clear. It is normal to experience a little soreness, itching and swelling at injections sites and if you do experience any discomfort, we recommend Paracetemol. Please avoid applying ice to any treated areas.
Platelet-Rich Plasma works over about 6-8 weeks to stimulate growth, healing and rejuvenation.
It is important to allow it to work optimally by following this guidance closely.
Many thanks, we look forward to seeing you for your PRP Treatment
