What to expect
You've just had your PRP hair restoration session. The platelets just injected into your scalp are at work signaling dormant follicles to wake up. The next 72 hours are about protecting that signaling process. This is also a treatment where the rules around alcohol, anti-inflammatories, and ice matter more than usual — read those carefully.
Why this matters
PRP works by concentrating your own platelets and the growth factors they carry into the areas of thinning. Those growth factors trigger an inflammatory response that's exactly what we want — it stimulates the follicles. Ice and NSAIDs (ibuprofen, Aleve) suppress that inflammatory response, which suppresses the treatment effect. Alcohol thins the blood and reduces platelet quality for your next session.
Post care
- Do not wash your hair for 24 hours following treatment.
- After 24 hours, use a pH-balanced or gentle, sulfate-free shampoo for the first 3 days.
- Avoid hair styling products — gels, sprays, dyes — for 48 hours following treatment.
- Stay hydrated to support the healing process.
- Tylenol (acetaminophen) may be used for discomfort.
Downtime
- Mild redness, swelling, tenderness, or bruising at the injection sites is normal and typically resolves within 2–5 days.
- Some scalp soreness is common after treatment.
Restrictions
- Avoid vigorous exercise, sweating, saunas, steam rooms, and swimming for 72 hours.
- Avoid direct sun exposure for 72 hours. Wear a loose-fitting clean hat if outdoors.
- Avoid alcohol for 72 hours.
- Avoid NSAIDs (ibuprofen, aspirin, Aleve, Motrin) for 5–7 days — these interfere with the PRP healing response.
- Avoid applying ice to the treated area — ice is anti-inflammatory and can reduce PRP effectiveness.
- Do not massage, scratch, or rub the scalp for 72 hours.
