PRP Care

To maximise results and minimise side effects, follow these preparatory and aftercare steps. Your clinician may adjust them to your needs.

Avoid blood-thinning medications, supplements or herbs (aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oil, vitamin E, ginkgo) for ~1 week beforehand — unless advised otherwise by your doctor.
Avoid smoking and alcohol in the 24 hours before treatment.
Stay well-hydrated & avoid excessive caffeine or sugary drinks.
Avoid excessive sun exposure for at least a week; use broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen.
Pause harsh skincare (exfoliants, scrubs, acids) ~48 hours before.
Disclose all medications, herbs, medical conditions or supplements to your provider.

These guidelines are general. Always defer to your clinician’s personalised instructions, especially if your health or medications differ.
