PRP & PRF: prep and aftercare

Hydration tips before your blood draw and how to care for treated skin afterward.

Before PRP or PRF Drink water and eat a light meal before your blood draw. Limit alcohol and caffeine the day of treatment when possible. Tell your provider about anticoagulants, blood disorders, or recent illness. After treatment Mild redness or swelling is common for a few days. Keep the area clean; skip makeup for 12–24 hours unless cleared. Avoid intense exercise and direct sun for 24–48 hours; use SPF outdoors. Collagen and hair benefits build gradually — consistency and sun protection matter as much as the appointment itself. Learn more about PRP or browse all prep & aftercare resources .
