PRP HAIR AFTERCARE

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy has become a popular treatment for hair restoration, offering a natural way to stimulate hair growth and improve scalp health. While the procedure itself is important, the success of PRP hair restoration depends heavily on proper aftercare. Following the right steps after your treatment can enhance results, reduce side effects, and support long-term hair health.

This guide covers essential aftercare tips to help you get the most from your PRP hair restoration sessions.

Aftercare step by step

1. Avoid touching, scratching, or massaging the scalp for at least 6 hours after treatment.

3. Avoid strenuous exercise, heavy sweating, saunas, steam rooms, and hot baths for 24 to 48 hours.

4. Refrain from consuming alcohol for 24 hours to minimise inflammation and bruising.

5. Mild redness, tenderness, swelling, or small bumps on the scalp are normal and should settle within a few days.

6. Avoid hair treatments such as colouring, bleaching, or chemical processing for at least 7 days.

7. Use gentle, sulphate free shampoos once washing is resumed.

8. Avoid direct sun exposure to the scalp for 48 hours and wear a hat if necessary.
