On the day of your PRP treatment, be sure to drink water and have a meal beforehand. It’s also important to increase your water intake the day prior to your session. For three days before and after the treatment, avoid alcohol, caffeine, spicy foods, niacin, and cigarettes to help reduce bruising. Discontinue the use of vitamin E, vitamin A, Gingko Biloba, garlic, flax oil, cod liver oil, and essential fatty acids (EFAs) three days to one week before and after your session. Additionally, stop taking aspirin, ibuprofen, and corticosteroids three days to one week before the treatment, as inflammation helps PRP work effectively. To get the best results, schedule your session at least two weeks before major events, ideally 3-4 weeks. Lastly, postpone your appointment if you have a fever, cold, flu, cold sore, rash, or any blemish in the treatment area.
