PRP Filler Pre & Post Care Instruction

PRE-TREATMENT INSTRUCTIONS

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

  • Avoid alcohol for at least 24-48 hours before your procedure, as it can increase the risk of bruising and swelling.
  • Avoid blood-thinning medications (like aspirin, ibuprofen, or certain supplements such as fish oil and vitamin E) for 7 days before the treatment, unless otherwise directed by your provider.
  • Discontinue the use of any active skincare products (such as retinoids, AHAs/BHAs, or exfoliating products) for 5-7 days before your appointment to avoid skin irritation.
  • Avoid sun exposure and tanning for 1-2 weeks prior to your session to minimize pigmentation risk.
  • Hydrate well—drink plenty of water leading up to your treatment, as staying hydrated supports the PRP process and skin health.
  • Eat a healthy, balanced meal before your procedure to ensure you are in optimal condition for the treatment.
  • Arrive makeup-free—please cleanse the treatment area of any makeup, lotions, or skincare products before your appointment.
  • If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have active skin infections, please inform your provider beforehand, as PRP therapy may not be suitable for you.

POST-TREATMENT INSTRUCTIONS

After your PRP Filler treatment, following proper aftercare will help ensure optimal healing and results:

  • Avoid alcohol for at least 24 hours post-treatment to reduce the risk of swelling and bruising.
  • Avoid intense physical activity and heavy exercise for 24-48 hours post-treatment to prevent excessive swelling or bruising.
  • Do not apply makeup for 24 hours to the treated area to allow the skin to heal and absorb the PRP effectively.
  • Avoid sun exposure for at least 1-2 weeks after treatment, and always use broad-spectrum SPF 30+ or higher on the treated areas.
  • Avoid touching or massaging the treated area for 24 hours to prevent infection or displacement of the filler.
  • Mild swelling, redness, or bruising is common immediately following the procedure and should subside within 2-3 days.
  • Apply ice or a cold compress to the treated area if you experience significant swelling or discomfort (for 10-15 minutes at a time).
  • Hydrate and maintain a healthy diet to support healing.
  • Continue a gentle skincare routine—you may resume using your regular skincare products 24-48 hours after treatment, but avoid any harsh or exfoliating products for 3-5 days.
  • Avoid facial treatments like chemical peels, microdermabrasion, or laser treatments for 1-2 weeks after your procedure to ensure proper healing.
  • Follow up with your provider for any necessary check-ups or touch-ups, as PRP results can take 3-6 weeks to fully manifest.

Note: PRP Filler uses your own platelet-rich plasma (PRP) to naturally fill and rejuvenate areas of the face, providing a more youthful appearance. Full results typically develop over 4-6 weeks, as the PRP stimulates collagen production and tissue regeneration.
