PRP Hair Restoration Pre & Post Care Instructions

PRE-TREATMENT INSTRUCTIONS

To ensure the best results from your PRP Hair Restoration treatment, please follow these pre-treatment guidelines:

  • Avoid blood-thinning medications (like aspirin, ibuprofen, or certain supplements such as fish oil and vitamin E) for 7 days before the procedure, unless otherwise directed by your provider.
  • Avoid alcohol for at least 48 hours before your session, as it can increase the risk of bruising and swelling.
  • Do not dye or chemically treat your hair for at least 1 week before your treatment to avoid irritation.
  • Shampoo your hair and wash your scalp thoroughly on the day of your appointment, as the area must be clean and free from any oils, products, or buildup.
  • Do not apply hair products (such as gels, oils, or hairsprays) before your treatment.
  • Avoid sun exposure for 24-48 hours before your treatment to minimize the risk of skin irritation or pigmentation.
  • Stay hydrated—drink plenty of water leading up to your appointment, as proper hydration can support the healing process.
  • If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have active scalp infections, please inform your provider before undergoing the treatment.

POST-TREATMENT INSTRUCTIONS

After your PRP Hair Restoration treatment, following proper aftercare is essential for the best results:

  • Avoid direct sun exposure to your scalp for at least 48 hours after the treatment. If you need to be outside, wear a hat or use broad-spectrum SPF 30+ or higher.
  • Do not wash your hair for 24 hours after your treatment. After that, use a gentle shampoo to avoid irritation.
  • Avoid hair products such as gels, hairsprays, or other styling products for 48 hours post-treatment to allow the PRP to fully penetrate the scalp.
  • Avoid physical activities that cause excessive sweating, such as intense workouts or saunas, for 48 hours after the treatment.
  • Do not massage or rub the scalp for 48 hours to avoid irritation and ensure the PRP is absorbed properly.
  • Mild swelling, redness, or tenderness at the injection site is normal and should subside within 24-48 hours.
  • Some mild bruising or scabbing may occur at the injection sites. This is normal and should heal within a few days.
  • Resume normal hair care routines after 48 hours, but avoid harsh or irritating treatments for 1-2 weeks.
  • Maintain hydration and a healthy diet, as good nutrition supports hair growth and healing.
  • Follow up with your provider for additional treatments if necessary. Typically, 3 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart are recommended for optimal results.

Note: PRP Hair Restoration uses your own platelet-rich plasma (PRP) to stimulate hair follicles, promote hair growth, and improve scalp health. Full results typically appear within 3-6 months after the procedure, as hair growth is a gradual process.
