PRE-TREATMENT INSTRUCTIONS -Hydrate before your treatment ! This affects how much plasma we can get from your blood. -If you develop a fever, cold, flu, cold sore, blemish, or rash, etc. in the area to be treated prior to your appointment, you must reschedule (we will not treat you). -It is recommended, if you have a special event or vacation coming up, that you schedule your treatment at least 2 weeks in advance (we prefer 3-4). -If you are being treated in the lip area and have a history of Herpes (cold sores) with outbreaks more than 4 times a year, some practitioners recommend that you are pretreated with medication. This office recommends Valtrex 2GM the day before or the morning of the treatment and then another 2 GM's 12 hours after the first dose. -Discontinue use of anti-inflammatory drugs (steroidal and non-steroidal) such as: Aspirin, Motrin (or any other Ibuprofen drugs) at least 3 days to 1 week before your treatment. With PRP, we "WANT" inflammation; this is one of the mechanisms of how PRP does its work. -If you are or have been on Systemic use of Corticosteroids (steroids) within 2 weeks of treatment, we cannot treat you. Consult your physician for approval to discontinue use of steroids and receive treatment. -Discontinue use of any other blood thinning agents such as: Vitamin E, Vitamin A, Gingko Biloba, Garlic, Flax Oil, Cod Liver Oil, Essential Fatty Acids (EFA's and DHA's) etc. at least 3 days to 1 week before and after treatment to minimize bruising and bleeding. -It is recommended that you avoid: Alcohol, caffeine, Niacin supplement, spicy foods, and cigarettes 3 days before and after your treatment. (All of these may increase risk of bruising)
POST-TREATMENT INSTRUCTIONS Do NOT touch, press, rub, or manipulate the treated area (s) for at least 8 hours after your treatment AVOID Aspirin, Motrin, Ibuprofen, Alev e (all non-steroidal and steroidal anti-inflammatory agents), Gingko Biloba, Garlic, Flax Oil, Cod liver Oil, Vitamin A, Vitamin E, or any other essential fatty acids at least 3 days - 1week prior to and after your treatment. Remember, we are creating inflammation. If you experience discomfort or pain you may take Tylenol or other Acetaminophen products. You may apply Ice if you wish to the injected area for 20-30 minutes after the procedure but we would prefer if you can refrain from this. Do not wash or take a shower for at least 6 hours after your treatment Do not use any lotions, creams, or make-up for at least 6 hours after your treatment AVOID vigorous exercise, sun and heat exposure for at least 3 days after your treatment AVOID: Alcohol, caffeine, and cigarettes for 3 days before and after your treatment Smokers do not heal well and problems recur earlier and results may take longer. Maintain a healthy diet and Drink at least 64 oz.’s of water the day of the treatment. (Fiji water is recommended due to its high content of Silica)Continue water intake the first week after. It is normal to experience: Bruising, Redness, Itching, Soreness, and Swelling that may last from 3-10 days following your procedure.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS -Are PRP injections safe? Yes! PRP Therapy is very safe because cells from the patient’s own blood are used, which means there are no preservatives and no chance of the body rejecting the cells. The primary risks and discomforts are related to the blood draw where there is a slight pinch to insert the needle for collection and there is a potential for bruising at the site. -How often should I get treatments? We recommend a series of three every 30 days then yearly maintence for best results. -Once I Start, Can I Stop: Should you decide to discontinue, the effects will gradually fade. It's a choice to maintain that fresh and revitalized look. -How It Works: PRP treatments involve the use of drawing your blood, putting it through the centrifuge and then injecting. This helps enhance and refresh your look. There are NO artificial ingredients in this process. -Does It Hurt: We prioritize your comfort. Discomfort during the procedure is minimal, and our experienced team ensures a gentle experience and use of topical numbing cream as needed. -When Should You Start: There's no fixed age; it depends on personal preferences and skin concerns. -Side Effects and Downtime: -Temporary side effects may include redness, swelling, and possible bruising. Expect swelling for 3-5 days for under eye injections.
