What should I do to prepare for PRP treatment?

If you’re planning to undergo PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) treatment, here are some tips to prepare:

• Avoid Blood Thinners: Stop taking medications like aspirin, ibuprofen, or other NSAIDs a week before the procedure (only after consulting your doctor).
• Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water the day before and on the day of your appointment to ensure a smooth blood draw.
• Avoid Alcohol and Smoking: Refrain from alcohol and smoking for at least 24-48 hours prior to the treatment, as they can impact your blood quality.
• Eat a Healthy Meal: Have a nutritious meal before your appointment to avoid feeling lightheaded during the blood draw.
• Consult on Medications: Inform your doctor about any medications or supplements you’re taking to ensure they won’t interfere with the treatment.
• Avoid Hair Products (for scalp PRP): If the treatment is for hair restoration, avoid applying hair products on the day of the procedure.
• Wear Comfortable Clothing: Choose attire that allows easy access to the treatment area, whether it’s your scalp, joints, or skin.

These simple steps will help you get the best out of your PRP therapy. Always follow your doctor’s specific pre-treatment instructions!
