How long do PRP injection treatments take?
In total, you can expect to spend just under two hours with us. The treatment itself takes approximately one hour, but we will apply a topical anesthetic for 45 minutes beforehand.
How do I need to prepare for my PRP injection treatment?
If you are not accustomed to drinking plenty of water (eight glasses per day), we ask patients to stay extra hydrated one week prior to coming in. Additionally, please avoid Advil, wine, and anything else that might thin the blood. We need high platelet levels in order to deliver optimal results.
Where does the blood come from?
Our nurse will take a small sample of blood from the arm (just like getting routine blood-work done at the lab).
Will I require pain relief?
All patients are given a topical anesthetic, which we will apply prior to your treatment.
When can I return to work and begin normal activities?
You will have multiple “blips” (small mosquito bite-like bumps) on your face for the first day and may experience redness and mild to moderate swelling depending on the area treated. You will need to refrain from wearing any makeup for the first 24 hours following your treatment.
How long do the results last?
Results will vary from patient to patient depending on lifestyle and the severity of the condition treated. Once the initial three treatments are completed, patients should do one treatment 1-2 times a year in order to maintain results over the long term.
Can I receive PRP injection treatments if I am prone to or have cold sores?
If you suffer from the herpes simplex virus (cold sores), please make sure you advise us. We will ask you about this prior to your treatment and on your health questionnaire. In most cases we would advise against receiving PRP treatments if you have active cold sores, as that can cause the rashes to spread. If the virus has been dormant for some time, we still require that you take any medication that has been prescribed both before and after any treatment sessions to reduce the risk of reactivating it. Find A Better You can provide you with a prescription for an antiviral medication if required.
