The hours and days following your PRP treatment are as important as the procedure. Proper aftercare helps your skin or scalp heal smoothly and ensures you get the best possible results from your investment in regenerative therapy.
<h3>Supporting Your Recovery and Results</h3>
PRP aftercare is relatively simple, but knowing what to expect  -  and what to avoid  -  can make a big difference.
<h4>Immediate Reactions: What’s Normal?</h4>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Redness and mild swelling These effects are completely normal and should settle within 24–48 hours. Some patients also experience a feeling of warmth or tightness in the treated area. According to the <a title="British Association of Dermatologists" href="https://www.bad.org.uk/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">British Association of Dermatologists</a>, mild redness and swelling after PRP are common and usually resolve within 48 hours without intervention, while cold compresses and gentle care are recommended to aid recovery. </li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Bruising or tenderness Mild bruising is especially common around delicate areas like the eyes or scalp and can last several days. Cold compresses can help reduce swelling, but always check with your practitioner first. </li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Sensation changes Tingling or mild numbness occasionally occurs post-treatment and is usually short-lived. </li>
</ul>

<h4>First 24–48 Hours: What to Do and Avoid</h4>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Do keep your skin clean and calm. Gently cleanse with tepid water and a fragrance-free cleanser. Avoid exfoliants, actives, and harsh products. </li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Don’t wear makeup or use potent skincare. Allow your skin to breathe and recover. Avoid applying makeup for at least 24 hours. </li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Avoid sun exposure, saunas, or strenuous exercise. Excess heat can exacerbate swelling and increase the risk of irritation or inflammation. </li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Avoid anti-inflammatory medications unless prescribed. PRP relies on your body’s natural inflammatory response  -  using ibuprofen or similar drugs may interfere with healing. </li>
</ul>
<h4>Longer-Term Care: Weeks 1–4</h4>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Hydrate and nourish from the inside out. Continue drinking plenty of water, eat well, and support your skin with gentle, antioxidant-rich products. </li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Protect with SPF daily. Your skin may be more photosensitive post-treatment. A broad-spectrum SPF is essential. </li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Follow up if advised. Your practitioner may recommend a course of sessions or check-ins to monitor progress and tweak your plan. </li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Be patient with results. Skin improvements typically develop gradually over several weeks, with collagen production and cell turnover happening beneath the surface. </li>
</ul>
Aftercare isn’t complex, but it is crucial. Follow these expert-led steps and you’ll support the regenerative process PRP is designed to activate  -  safely, naturally, and effectively.
