Pre + Post Care Guide

PRP / PRF

(Platelet-Rich Plasma / Platelet-Rich Fibrin)

ABOUT YOUR TREATMENT

PRP and PRF are regenerative treatments that use your body's own platelets and growth factors to stimulate collagen production, tissue repair, and cellular regeneration.

A small amount of your blood is drawn, processed, and reinjected into targeted areas such as:

  • • Under-eye hollows
  • • Face (skin rejuvenation)
  • • Scalp (hair restoration)
  • • Acne scars
  • • Combined with microneedling

PRF releases growth factors more slowly than PRP, providing prolonged regenerative support.

Results develop gradually over several weeks as collagen rebuilds.

BEFORE YOUR APPOINTMENT

  • • Avoid alcohol 24 hours prior
  • • Avoid aspirin, NSAIDs, fish oil, and blood thinners 5–7 days prior (unless medically necessary)
  • • Hydrate well 24 hours before treatment
  • • Eat a light meal prior to appointment
  • • Avoid active skin infection or illness

If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have blood disorders, notify us prior to treatment.

WHAT TO EXPECT AFTER TREATMENT

Immediately after treatment, you may experience:

  • • Redness
  • • Swelling
  • • Tenderness
  • • Mild bruising
  • • Small injection marks

Swelling may be more noticeable under the eyes and can last 2–5 days.

Results appear gradually over 4–8 weeks as collagen stimulation progresses.

AFTERCARE INSTRUCTIONS

First 24 Hours:

  • • Avoid strenuous exercise
  • • Avoid excessive heat (saunas, hot tubs)
  • • Do not massage treated areas
  • • Avoid alcohol

First 48–72 Hours:

  • • Gentle cleansing only
  • • Avoid retinol and exfoliants
  • • SPF 30+ required

Note: Avoid anti-inflammatory medications (Ibuprofen, Motrin, Advil) unless medically necessary, as they may interfere with the natural inflammatory healing process.

⚠️ IMPORTANT

Contact Hello Gorgeous Med Spa® immediately if you experience:

  • • Severe pain
  • • Increasing swelling
  • • Signs of infection
  • • Vision changes (for facial injections)

PRP/PRF is a regenerative procedure. Optimal results often require a series of treatments.
