Immediately after treatment with a PRP, there may be a slight redness, swelling, tenderness or an itching sensation in the treated area. This is a normal result of the injection and generally disappears in a couple of days.

Arnica gel or oral Arnica may be beneficial in decreasing bruising or swelling

The swelling  after an eye treatment may last longer. If symptoms persist or other reactions occur, please contact your your provider

Please follow the instructions below:

• Avoid strenuous exercise for 24 hours
• Sleep elevated on 2 pillows to improve swelling
• Avoid touching your face for at least 4 hours
• Do not expose the area to intense heat or sunlight (eg solarium or sauna)
• Pain relief such as Tylenol may be taken as directed by your provider
• Avoid alcohol for 24 hours
• Do not use active skin care eg AHA, Retinols/Vitamin C
• Avoid facials, facial waxing, Glycolic or AHA peels, IPL or energy based treatments and microdermabrasion for 2 weeks after treatment (unless advised by your injectable doctor). Please check with your physician before undergoing other facials within this time.
• Do not massage the treated area unless instructed by your physician.
• No makeup until the day after the procedure is ideal
• Do not smoke
