There’s little recovery with PRP other than minimal redness for the first few days. There may also be some pinpoint bleeding on the skin, but that will subside. Some patients say the skin feels tender, slightly swollen, or hot after the treatment.
Following the treatment, you’ll notice healthier-looking skin. Collagen production will kick in over the next four to six weeks, and the skin will show signs of continued improvement. However, you’ll need to keep up with regular treatments to maintain the results.
You’ll also want to avoid using strong skin or hair care products and stick with bland, gentle products until given the green light to resume your routine. Simple moisturizers are recommended to hydrate the skin. If the scalp is treated, you must avoid washing your hair for the first few days.
