Is PRP Therapy Safe? What to Expect After Treatment

It is a safe, effective, and minimally invasive treatment with little to no downtime. Since it uses your own blood components, the risk of allergic reactions or complications is extremely low.

After the procedure, you may experience mild redness, tingling, or slight bruising at the treatment site. These effects are temporary and typically subside within a few hours to a couple of days.

Most patients are able to return to work or resume their normal daily activities immediately following the treatment.

PRP Therapy – Pre-Treatment Instructions

To optimize your results and minimize potential side effects, please follow the guidelines below:

🌿 Natural Supplement for Bruising

• Arnica montana: Take 3–5 pellets, 3 times daily, starting 2 days before, on the day of, and for 2 days after your treatment. This may help reduce the risk of bruising.

💧 Hydration & Nutrition

• Hydrate well the day before and the day of treatment.

• Eat a normal meal (breakfast or lunch) on the day of your procedure—do not fast.

🚫 Avoid These Before Treatment

At least 1 week prior:

• Anti-inflammatory medications such as:

  • Ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin)

  • Naproxen (Aleve, Naprosyn)

  • Systemic steroids (e.g., Prednisone, Dexamethasone)

• Accutane: Must be discontinued for at least 6 months before treatment, as it can significantly reduce PRP effectiveness.

At least 48 hours prior:

• Supplements & Herbs including:

  • Ginkgo biloba, garlic, vitamin E, flax oil, curcumin, omega-3 fatty acids

• Alcohol and cigarettes

Important: Please inform your PRP provider if you are taking any blood-thinning medications such as Coumadin, Plavix, Heparin, or others. These may reduce platelet function and impact your results.

At least 2 days prior:

• Discontinue use of topical retinoids (vitamin A) and glycolic acid products to minimize skin sensitivity and irritation.

💇‍♂️ Additional Instructions for Hair Restoration Patients

• Shampoo and wash your hair thoroughly the morning of your appointment.

• Do not apply hair gels, sprays, or styling products.

• Hair coloring is permitted up to 3 days before your treatment.

PRP Procedure Overview

Stage 1: Blood Collection & Platelet Isolation

Approximately 23 ml of the patient’s venous blood is drawn and placed into a specialized centrifuge system. This device spins the blood at high speed to separate its components, isolating the plasma and platelets from red and white blood cells.

Stage 2: Platelet-Rich Plasma Injection

The concentrated plasma and platelets (PRP) are then gently injected into the targeted area under the skin, whether it’s the face, scalp, or other treatment zone.

Once reintroduced into the body, these activated platelets:

• Stimulate collagen and hyaluronic acid production

• Promote the formation of new blood vessels and cells

• Accelerate tissue repair and regeneration

This natural healing response results in rejuvenated skin, improved tone and texture, and enhanced hair growth in the treated areas.

Each treatment session typically takes about 30 minutes per treatment area, which includes approximately 10 minutes for numbing, if required

Some patients may notice improvements after just one treatment, though individual results can vary. On average, treatments are administered once a month for 3 to 4 months, and in some cases, up to 6 months—depending on the condition being treated. Thanks to the superior purity and high concentration of PRP achieved with our advanced system, most patients begin to see noticeable results after just 3 sessions.

We recommend consulting with our clinic staff to create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs and desired outcomes.

Many patients tolerate the PRP procedure comfortably without anesthesia. However, when needed, our clinical team can apply a topical numbing cream to the treatment area to ensure a more comfortable experience

For hair restoration, most individuals begin to notice visible results within 3 to 6 months after starting PRP treatment.

For facial rejuvenation, results typically become noticeable within 2 to 4 weeks, although some people may observe improvements shortly after their first session.

Keep in mind that individual results may vary depending on factors such as age, skin condition, and overall health.

Mild side effects are common and typically resolve within a few days. Here’s what you may experience:

🩸 Mild Inflammation, Redness, and Swelling
Itching or soreness may occur for 2–5 days following treatment. These are normal responses to the injection process.

🔘 Tiny Bumps or Firmness
Small bumps or firmness at the injection site may appear and will gradually soften or disappear within a few hours to a few days.

💉 Pin-Prick Bleeding (Scalp Treatments)
Minor pinpoint bleeding may be noticeable on the scalp after treatment—this is normal and short-lived.

These are common and temporary effects of PRP and usually require no additional care. If you have any concerns, feel free to contact our clinic for guidance.
