<h3>Set Yourself Up for the Best Possible Results</h3>
Preparation isn’t complicated, but it does matter. These tips apply whether you have PRP for skin rejuvenation, hair loss, or joint therapy.
<h4>What to Do in the Days Before Treatment</h4>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Stay well hydrated Aim to drink 1.5 to 2 litres of water daily in the 48 hours before your appointment. Hydration improves blood quality, directly impacting the platelet concentration used in your treatment. </li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Eat balanced, nutrient-rich meals. Support your immune system and healing response with foods rich in antioxidants, protein, and healthy fats. Think colourful vegetables, lean protein, oily fish, and whole grains. </li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Pause supplements that affect blood clotting Discuss with your practitioner whether to stop certain supplements (e.g. fish oil, vitamin E, ginkgo biloba) that may increase bleeding or bruising risk. </li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Get enough sleep Rest is vital for tissue repair. A well-rested body is better primed for recovery. </li>
</ul>
<h4>What to Avoid</h4>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Anti-inflammatories like ibuprofen or aspirin These can blunt the inflammatory response needed for PRP to work effectively. Avoid for at least 48 hours before and after, unless medically necessary. Always check with your GP. </li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Alcohol and smoking Both reduce platelet function and can impair the healing process. It’s best to avoid alcohol for 24–48 hours beforehand, and smoking ideally should be stopped altogether. </li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Intensive facial treatments Avoid retinoids, chemical peels, or laser therapy at least one week before having PRP for skin. </li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Sun exposure Arrive with calm, non-sensitised skin. Sunburn or irritation may postpone your appointment. </li>
</ul>
<h4>Day-of Treatment Reminders</h4>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Skip makeup, lotions or hair products. Come to your appointment with clean skin or scalp  -  no foundation, moisturiser, or styling products. </li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Dress for comfort You may be seated or reclined for a while, and treatment areas may feel tender afterwards. </li>
</ul>
PRP treatment is safe, natural, and effective  -  but it works best when you arrive prepared. These simple steps can improve both your comfort and the quality of your results.
