PRP Hair Restoration Pre-Treatment Instructions

• Do not consume alcoholic beverages at least 24 hours prior to your PRP Hair Restoration treatment as alcohol may thin the 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 injections.

• Avoid or at least minimize smoking 3 days prior to your PRP Hair Restoration treatment.

• The day before your treatment, drink extra water.

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

 

PLATELET RICH PLASMA (PRP) HAIR RESTORATION TREATMENT DAY

• Do not apply any sprays, gels or any other styling products to your hair.
