Facial PRP Pre-Treatment Instructions

Do not consume alcoholic beverages at least 24 hours prior to your Facial PRP treatment as alcohol may thin your blood and increase your risk of bruising.

Medications and supplements such as NSAIDs like Advil® (Ibuprofen), aspirin, vitamin E, ginkgo biloba, ginseng, St. John’s Wort, Omega 3/Fish Oil, and Turmeric supplements. These all have a blood thinning effect and can increase your risk of bruising and swelling after your Facial PRP injections.

The day before your treatment, drink extra water.
