  1. If you experience any pain or discomfort you may take Tylenol or other Acetaminophen-containing products as directed.
  2. Continue to avoid aspirin, Ibuprofen, NSAid, Ponstan and other anti-inflammatory medications for 3 days after your procedure (if possible try for 7 days).
  3. Avoid vigorous exercise, sun and heat exposure for at least 48 hours after your treatment.
  4. Do not wet your hair for at least 3 hours after your treatment.
  5. Do not use any hair products for at least 6 hours after your treatment.
  6. Be sure to take a hot shower and wash your hair that evening, after the treatment, to promote the effects of PRP.
  7. Avoid saunas, steam rooms, swimming for 2 days after your treatment.
  8. Avoid alcohol, caffeine, and smoking for 3 days after treatment. Smokers do not heal well and problems recur earlier and results may take longer.
