Following your treatment, it's normal to experience mild swelling, redness, bruising, or tenderness in the treated areas, which typically resolves within a few days. You may also notice slight bruising at the blood draw site.
To support healing, avoid strenuous exercise, heat exposure (such as saunas or steam rooms), and swimming for at least 48 hours. It's also best to avoid alcohol, caffeine, and smoking for several days, as these can affect healing and overall results. Continue to stay well-hydrated and maintain a healthy diet to support your body's natural regenerative process.
For facial injections, you can apply a cold compress intermittently to help reduce swelling, and mild asymmetry or firmness in the treated areas is normal as the product settles. Avoid massaging or applying pressure to the area, and hold off on makeup and skincare products for at least 24 hours. Sun protection is essential — avoid direct sun exposure until any redness or swelling has resolved, and apply SPF 30+ daily.
If you've received PRF with microneedling, your skin may appear red and feel warm or sensitive, similar to a sunburn. Use only gentle skincare for 7 to 10 days, avoid active ingredients, and hold off on makeup, exercise, and water exposure (such as pools or hot tubs) for the first 24 to 72 hours.
For hair restoration treatments, keep your scalp clean and avoid styling products for the first day, resuming your normal routine gradually as directed by your provider.
