PRP/PRF/EZ Gel Pre & Post Care

BEFORE YOUR APPOINTMENT

  • Minimize bruising by avoiding aspirin, ibuprofen/NSAIDs, fish oil, vitamin E, alcohol and blood thinning agents
  • Try to arrive to your appointment with clean skin and no makeup if possible
  • Inform your provider if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, have autoimmune conditions or bleeding disorder, or have had recent treatments to the area
  • Avoid dental work and vaccines within 2 weeks before treatment
  • Stay well hydrated prior to your appointment, as hydration improves the quality of the PRF sample

AFTER YOUR APPOINTMENT

For the first 24 hours after treatment:

  • Avoid strenuous exercise, saunas, steam rooms, hot tubs, and excessive heat exposure
  • Avoid makeup and keep the injection sites clean
  • Sleep with your head slightly elevated to reduce swelling
  • Avoid touching, pressing, or massaging the treated area

POSSIBLE EXPECTED SIDE EFFECTS

These side effects are temporary and can take up to 2 weeks to subside

  • Mild redness, bruising, swelling, and tenderness
  • Uneven or asymmetrical appearance due to swelling
  • Small bumps at the injection site

WHEN TO NOTIFY YOUR PROVIDER

  • Increasing redness, warmth, or signs of infection
  • Severe or worsening pain
  • Persistent unevenness, firmness, or lumps after 2 weeks

WHEN TO FOLLOW-UP

Although volume may appear immediately after treatment, much of the initial fullness is due to swelling. Please allow 4-6 weeks before your next session, and plan a follow-up 8-12 weeks after your final treatment to evaluate your results.
