Patient Information

If you’ve undergone PRP treatment for hair restoration at Butterfly Aesthetics with a Nurse Practitioner (NP), it’s important to follow specific aftercare instructions to ensure the best possible results. Here are some general aftercare guidelines for PRP hair restoration:

1. Avoid Washing Hair: Do not wash your hair for at least 24 to 48 hours after the procedure. This allows the PRP to absorb properly into the scalp.

2. Hair Products: Refrain from using any hair products such as gels, sprays, or conditioners for at least 24 hours after the treatment.

3. Exercise and Sweating: Avoid strenuous exercise and activities that may lead to excessive sweating for 24 to 48 hours. Sweating could interfere with the PRP’s effectiveness.

4. Heat Exposure: Do not expose your scalp to direct sunlight, tanning beds, or hot environments like saunas or steam rooms for at least 48 hours post-treatment.

5. Avoid Alcohol and Smoking: These can impair blood flow and healing, so it’s advisable to abstain for a few days before and after your PRP session.

6. Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water to help your body and scalp heal effectively.

7. Touching or Scratching: Avoid touching, scratching, or rubbing your scalp. This can interfere with the healing process and affect the PRP’s efficacy.

8.Follow Additional Instructions: Your NP might provide further personalized aftercare instructions, so be sure to follow any specific advice or additional precautions they recommend.

9. Monitor for Side Effects: Mild tenderness or swelling on the scalp is normal, but if you notice any significant pain, irritation, or signs of infection, contact your NP immediately.

10. Scheduled Follow-ups: Keep all follow-up appointments as suggested by your NP to assess the treatment’s progress and determine the need for any additional sessions.

It’s always crucial to adhere to the aftercare plan communicated by your NP, as they can make adjustments specific to your situation and ensure optimal results from the PRP treatment.
