After Treatment Care for PRP Facial, PRP Facial + Tranexamic Acid, and Other Treatments
1. Immediate Post-Treatment Care
Rest and Recovery: Mild redness, swelling, or tenderness is normal and typically subsides within 24-48 hours. You may feel like you have a mild sunburn.
Avoid Touching the Skin: Refrain from touching, picking, or scratching the treated area. This will allow the skin to heal without interruption.
Hydration: Drink plenty of water to support the body’s healing process and help maintain your skin’s hydration levels.
2. Activity Restrictions
Physical Activity: Avoid strenuous activities, excessive sweating, or heavy workouts for at least 24-48 hours post-treatment to prevent irritation and swelling.
Sun Exposure: Minimize sun exposure for at least 1 week after the treatment, and always use a high-SPF sunscreen when going outdoors.
3. Skincare Routine
Avoid Makeup and Skincare Products: Do not apply makeup or any active skincare products (such as retinoids, AHAs, or exfoliants) to the treated area for at least 24-48 hours.
Gentle Cleansing: Cleanse your face with a gentle, non-irritating cleanser after 24 hours. Avoid scrubbing or using harsh products for at least 1 week.
Moisturize: Apply a gentle, hydrating moisturizer to soothe the skin and promote healing.
4. Follow-up Care
Treatment Results: Results from the PRP Facial or PRP Facial + Tranexamic Acid may take a few days to become visible, with improvements in skin texture and tone appearing gradually over the following weeks.
Additional Sessions: For optimal results, follow-up treatments may be recommended. Consult with your doctor on the recommended timeline for subsequent treatments.
5. Potential Side Effects
Mild Bruising or Swelling: Some bruising or swelling is common after microneedling or injections and should subside within a few days.
Dryness or Flaking: Your skin may feel dry or flaky as it heals. This is normal and should resolve with proper moisturization.
6. When to Contact the Clinic
Signs of Infection: If you notice unusual redness, heat, swelling, or pus in the treated area, contact your doctor immediately.
Severe or Prolonged Side Effects: If you experience any severe pain, extended swelling, or any concerns that last longer than expected, notify the clinic for further evaluation.
