After-Care

PRF Hair Restoration Post-Care Instructions

Follow these post-care notes after PRF Hair Restoration appointments. Your provider may give you personalized instructions based on your scalp and treatment plan.

PRF Hair Restoration

Before you can enjoy your results, there is a small adjustment period. These instructions will help guide your way through the healing process.

Don't freak out. You're going to be tender.

Expect tenderness and swelling to be most significant for the first 24-72 hours. Warm showers can help with pain, but do not use shampoo for the first 24 hours. You can take Arnica pills if recommended. After the liquid disperses into the tissue, the PRP/PRF can do what it does: stimulate. Avoid Ibuprofen because it can hinder your results. You can take Tylenol if pain is severe.

No ice ice baby

Immediately following your PRP/PRF treatment, avoid icing, massaging, rubbing, or pressing on the treated area for at least one hour. This can affect your overall outcome.

Hurry up and wait.

Collagen production does not happen overnight, and it will take time to see results. Everyone's experience is different, but most patients start to see results as soon as 4 weeks and can continue to see improvement for up to 6 months.

The Lab Loves You

If you experience unusual pain, swelling, skin color changes such as pale, blue, or mottled skin, or worsening symptoms, this could indicate a vascular occlusion, which is a rare but time-sensitive complication that requires immediate attention.

  • Call us right away: 801-281-3223
  • If you cannot reach us, or your symptoms are severe or rapidly worsening, go to the nearest Emergency Room immediately. Do not wait. Tell ER staff what was injected and when, so they can treat you appropriately.

Your safety comes first. Always err on the side of getting checked out.
