PRP Aftercare in Calgary

PRP Post-Care

Please be patient after your PRP procedure, as it takes 4–6 weeks for new collagen formation to develop. To optimize your PRP results, here are our recommended post-care instructions:

• Avoid Aspirin®, Advil®, Motrin®, Ibuprofen, Naproxen, Voltaren®, and any other anti-inflammatory medications for 3 days after your procedure – 7 days is preferred
• Avoid excessive sun exposure including, tanning beds, and wear a broad-spectrum sunscreen of at least SPF 30 daily
• Avoid warm environments (hot tubs, jacuzzis, steam rooms, hot yoga, saunas, etc.) for 3 days after your treatment
• Drink plenty of water for the next 7 days – preferably FIJI water as it’s high in silica which promotes collagen and elastin production

For Skin

• Use a gentle cleanser and lukewarm water to wash the face for the first 72 hours 
• Do not use toners containing alcohol; use a gentle moisturizer as needed
• You may return to your skincare products and makeup when your skin is no longer irritated, typically 4–5 days after treatment
• You will begin to see improvement in overall texture and tone shortly after your treatment, but full results take up to 3 months

For Hair

• Avoid washing the treatment area for 48 hours. After that, you may resume hair and skincare products and continue with topical medications
• Use shampoo that is pH balanced
• The treatment effects are most noticeable after 6 months
