Pre and Post Care

PRP Post-Treatment Instructions

A pleasant reminder, before, your session please have a good night sleep and be well hydrated on the day of your session. Please avoid any caffeine the night before and on the day of the session as all of these factors play a big part in being successful in taking blood. Thank you for your co-operation! Please give a 24 hour notice for any cancellation.


The Morning of Your Treatment:

  • Please shower on the morning of your treatment. If your PRP is for hair, thoroughly wash it using regular shampoo.
  • Avoid using gels, hair sprays, or other styling products. If you wear a hair system, remove it before shampooing and do not wear it before your session.
  • Eat normally and aim to drink at least 500ml of water before your procedure.


An outline of the most important things to do after a session:


  • Don't wash your hair for 24 hours.
  • Avoid chemical shampoos, try buying something like Nizoral and only use up to 2x a week max.
  • Start derma rolling a few days after the session and avoid derma rolling 2 days before a session.
  • Cover every angle 3-4x! Up, down, left, right and diagonally both ways.
  • After Derma rolling you can wait an hour and start using a hair oil if you want  such as rosemary oil hair oil or castor oil. It depends what is best for you. Same goes for if you are using minoxidil or finasteride.
  • Be consistent with derma rolling and prp/prf treatment for optimal results.
  • Avoid Caffeine for a few hours after the session.
  • Avoid using a sauna for at least 48 hours.
  • Avoid Gym for at least 24 hours after a session.


Specific Instructions for Pre and Post PRP Treatment

  • Diet and Fluid

    Increase your fluid intake to at least 1 liter of water daily, starting 1 day before your PRP treatment and continuing for 3 days after. On the day of your procedure, we recommend drinking a 500ml bottle of water before your session.


    PRP treatment does not require any specific dietary changes.

    Avoid aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxen, Voltarol, and other anti-inflammatory medications for 1 day before and 3 days after your treatment. Paracetamol can be taken if needed.

    Avoid alcohol for at least 1 day before your PRP session, ideally 3 days. We strongly recommend stopping smoking 3 days before your session. Both can be resumed 3 days after the procedure.

  • Supplements

    Discontinue blood-thinning agents such as Vitamin E, Vitamin A, Ginkgo, garlic, flaxseed oil, and multivitamins 1 week before your procedure. These can be resumed 1 week after your PRP session.


    Iron and Vitamin D can be continued throughout.

    Avoid strenuous exercise, including gym workouts, sauna, steam room, swimming, and jacuzzi, for 3 days after your session.
