PRF Aftercare
Before you can enjoy your results, there is a small adjustment period. These instructions will help guide your way through the healing process.
After-Care
PRF Post-Care Instructions
Follow these post-care notes after PRP/PRF appointments. Your provider may give you personalized instructions based on your treatment plan and treatment area.
Bruising is the new black.
Bruising is completely normal and can last a couple of weeks. Feel free to cover it up with makeup or lipstick. If you want some extra help, Arnica pills can help support your recovery.
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.
Don't freak out. You're going to be swollen.
Expect swelling to be most significant for the first 24-72 hours. During this time, take Ibuprofen only after injections, take Arnica pills if recommended, and enjoy the swelling. After the liquid disperses into the tissue, the PRP/PRF can do what it does: stimulate collagen.
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.
