CARE GUIDELINES

PRP Care Guide

Because PRP starts with a blood draw before being reintroduced into the treatment area, a bit of preparation helps the whole process go smoothly, and simple aftercare protects your results.

WHY IT MATTERS

Why Aftercare Matters for Your Results

PRP uses your own concentrated platelets to stimulate healing and collagen production, so protecting the treated area from irritation in the days after treatment gives your body the best environment to respond.
