Facial PRP Post-Treatment Instructions

For at least 4 hours after your Facial PRP allow the PRP to remain on your skin.

You may rinse your face with lukewarm water and but be sure to avoid using any cleansers with that could irritate your skin.

You may experience some discomfort which should settle within 24 hours. If you continue to feel pain, patients can take Acetaminophen as directed on the label.

For the first 24-48 hours, you can expect redness, bruising, and swelling. Your skin may also seem raw at first, but rest assured the redness will gradually decrease and start to look like a sunburn. 

For at least 72 hours following your Facial PRP do not use any makeup or exfoliating agents on your skin.

For the next 72 hours limit exposure to sun or heat. Other activities that heat your skin include tanning beds, steam rooms, and saunas. 

Apply a broad-spectrum UVA/UVB, SPF 25 or greater sunscreen to your daily skincare routine to prevent post inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

For two weeks following your Facial PRP avoid facials, laser treatments or active skincare ingredients that may cause damage or peeling.

You may continue to see improvement in your skin for 6 months or more after your treatment. The effects of the treatment may last approximately 10-12 months. Patients will notice a rejuvenated glow, a decrease in pigmentation & discoloration, and scars start to diminish.
