PRP Hair Restoration
Pre and Post-Care

​

PRP Hair Restoration Pre-Care 

PRP Hair Restoration is a non-surgical treatment that uses Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) to stimulate hair growth, strengthen follicles, and improve scalp health. Proper pre-care ensures optimal PRP quality, minimal discomfort, and enhanced results.

1-2 Weeks Before Treatment

 Stay Hydrated – Drink at least 8-10 glasses of water per day to improve blood circulation and PRP quality.

 Eat a Nutrient-Dense Diet – Focus on iron-rich foods, protein, and vitamin C to promote healthy platelet   production.

 Avoid Blood-Thinning Medications & Supplements (If Approved by Your Doctor) – To reduce bruising,   avoid:

• Aspirin, Ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin)

• Naproxen (Aleve)

• Fish oil, Omega-3, Vitamin E

• Ginkgo biloba, Turmeric, Green Tea Extract

 Stop Smoking & Limit Alcohol Intake – These can reduce platelet function and circulation.

 Avoid:

 Chemical Hair Treatments (Dyes, Perms, Relaxers) – Avoid harsh chemical treatments for at least 2 weeks   before PRP.

3-5 Days Before Treatment

 Continue Staying Hydrated – Well-hydrated blood ensures higher-quality PRP extraction.

 Hair Products on the Scalp – Avoid gels, sprays, or heavy styling creams before treatment.

24 Hours Before Treatment

 Drink Plenty of Water – Aim for at least 10 glasses to enhance PRP extraction.

 Avoid:

 Applying Hair Oils, Sprays, or Serums – Keep your scalp completely clean.

 Intense Exercise – Can increase circulation and sensitivity in the scalp.

Day of Treatment

 Arrive with Clean, Dry Hair – No shampoo, conditioner, or styling products.

 Wear Comfortable Clothing – Loose-fitting clothes for relaxed treatment.

 Relax & Stay Comfortable – The treatment is quick and well-tolerated.

PRP Hair Restoration Post-Care 

​

 First 24 Hours Post-Treatment

 Mild Redness & Tenderness is Normal – The scalp may feel tight, swollen, or slightly sore, similar to a   mild sunburn.

 No Washing or Touching the Scalp – Allow PRP to fully absorb before cleansing.

 Avoid Hair Products – Do not apply shampoos, conditioners, gels, or sprays.

 Minimal Sun Exposure – Wear a loose-fitting hat if needed.

 Avoid:

 Sweating & Strenuous Exercise – No gym, excessive heat, or activities that cause sweating.

 Massaging or Scratching the Scalp – Let the PRP settle naturally.

 Alcohol & Caffeine – These can slow healing by reducing blood circulation.

Days 2-3: Healing Phase

 Gentle Shampooing Can Resume – Use a mild, sulfate-free shampoo and lukewarm water.

 No Harsh Hair Treatments – Avoid coloring, bleaching, perms, or chemical treatments.

 Continue Hydration & Balanced Diet – Helps support hair follicle regeneration.

 Avoid:

 Direct Sun Exposure & Heat – No tanning beds, saunas, or steam rooms.

 Tight Hairstyles & Hats – Avoid tension on the scalp.

​

 Days 4-7: Hair Strengthening & PRP Activation

 Shedding is Normal – Hair shedding may increase temporarily as weaker hairs fall out to make room for   new growth.

 Scalp Feels Normal Again – Redness and tenderness should subside completely.

 Gradually Resume Normal Hair Routine – Still avoid harsh treatments for another week.

 Avoid:

 Aggressive Brushing or Heat Styling – Be gentle with the scalp.

 Smoking & Excessive Alcohol – These can reduce circulation and healing.

​

 Weeks 2-4: New Growth Phase

 Hair Follicles Begin Strengthening – Improved thickness, strength, and scalp health.

 Results Develop Gradually – PRP works by stimulating hair growth over time.

 Supplements & Topical Treatments – Consider biotin, collagen, or minoxidil (as advised).
