PRP Pre & Post-Care

Shampooing

• Feel free to wash your hair the morning of the PRP session (or at least the day before)

Hair Coloring

• It is fine to color your hair up to 3 days before the procedure

Supplements

• Discontinue blood thinning agents such as vitamin E, vitamin A, Ginko, Garlic, Flax, Cod Liver Oil, Essential Fatty Acids and least one week before your treatment.
• Please stop multivitamins one week before your procedure as well.
• It’s fine to continue Iron and vitamin D.

Alcohol & Smoking

• Avoid alcohol for three days before your PRP session
• If possible, stop smoking or limit smoking for three days prior to your procedure. The more the better as we find it really impacts on the healing process!

Medications

• Avoid aspirin, Advil, Motrin, Iburprofen, Naproxen, Voltaren and other anti inflammatory medications for 3 days before your procedure (if possible please avoid for 7 days). We want inflammation to occur – as this is one mechanism by which PRP works! You may take Tylenol for any pains, discomforts or joint pains you may have.
