It is prudent to follow some simple guidelines before your treatment. These guidelines can reduce possible side effects associated with the procedure and make all the difference between a fair result and a great result.
Before Your Treatment
Avoid sun exposure and tanning beds for at least 4 weeks prior to your treatment. Your appointment will be rescheduled if needed.
Hydrate - We recommend that for 7 days days before your treatment you moisturize skin in the morning and evening, drink at least 8 glasses of water per day to completely hydrate your skin optimize treatment results.
Avoid applying self-tanner for 2 weeks prior to treatment.
Avoid aspirin and Ibuprofen for one week prior to your treatment. Inform your provider if you are taking blood thinners or regularly take aspirin or ibuprofen.
Topical Retin-A therapy should be discontinued 3-4 days prior to treatment.
We recommend stopping fish oil, aspirin, coffee, tea, and alcoholic beverages for 5 days prior to treatment. This can help decrease bruising.
Inform your practitioner if you have taken Accutane (oral acne medication) in the past year.
Store ice packs in your freezer for use after you get home from procedure.
Schedule appointments at least 4 weeks prior to a special event i.e., wedding, vacation, speaking engagement, etc.
After Your Treatment
Immediately after treatment, most patients will experience slight to moderate swelling and a mild to moderate sunburn sensation that may last 1-3 days. For more aggressive treatments, the redness may last longer. After the second day, skin may appear as an exaggerated tan. This skin will “flake” off during the vinegar/cleansing process (see below).
Full recovery will occur between 5-10 days and final results in 6-12 weeks when collagen has peaked.
Sleep with your head elevated with pillows or in a recliner to reduce swelling.
Post treatment products may be provided for you. Closely follow any instructions provided with those products.
There are no restrictions on bathing except to treat the skin gently. We recommend leaving the PRP on the skin for at least 4 hours. Avoid scrubbing or trauma to the treated area. Avoid harsh products, exfoliants and Retin-A for 2 weeks post treatment. Avoid makeup for 5 days, and then use only on intact skin.
We recommend no exercise for the first 2 days after your treatment.
Avoid sun exposure to reduce the chance of hyper-pigmentation (skin darkening) for at least one month. Use a sun screen with zinc oxide, SPF 30+ or greater, at all times for one-month post treatment. Lifetime daily sunblock use is always recommended.
Re-Treatment
We recommend re-treatment every 4-6 weeks until you have completed your treatment package.
