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.

• Avoid anti-inflammatory and blood thinning medications and supplements if possible for 2 weeks before your treatment. 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.

• For a least 3 days prior to your treatment you should avoid or at least minimize smoking.

• The day before your treatment, drink extra water.

• If applicable shave your facial hair at least 24 hours before your treatment.

• Avoid fatty foods at least 8 hours before your blood is drawn for the best quality of plasma. Fatty foods meaning saturated fats specifically.

• The day of your treatment, it is best to eat a healthy meal prior and drink plenty of water.
