PRP (for skin, hair, or microneedling)

Most clients describe PRP as mild to moderate discomfort, and it depends on the area being treated.

• Microneedling with PRP: Usually feels like a rough exfoliation. Numbing cream makes it very tolerable.

• Under-eyes: Mild stinging or pressure during injection.

• Hair restoration: This is the most sensitive PRP area — clients typically feel a series of small pinches or pressure on the scalp.

• Acne scars/texture: Mild discomfort; numbing helps a lot.

Pain Level (with numbing): 2–4/10
Pain Level (hair treatment): 4–6/10

PRP Gel injections feel similar to regular dermal filler injections but usually less painful because it’s your own plasma.

• Slight pressure or warmth

• Occasional tiny pinches from the needle

• Numbing and cold packs help keep discomfort minimal

Pain Level (with numbing): 2–4/10

Recovery is typically very minimal, and most clients return to normal activities the same day or next day.

Common after-effects (0–48 hours)

• Mild redness (looks like a light sunburn)

• Slight swelling

• Tightness or dryness

• Mild tenderness

• Small bruises at injection sites (if treated under-eyes or scalp)

Hair Restoration PRP

• Scalp may feel tender or “tight” for 24–48 hours

• You may notice small pinpoints of redness

• Avoid washing hair for 12–24 hours

Microneedling with PRP

• Redness for 12–24 hours

• Light peeling or dryness for 2–4 days

• Makeup can usually be worn after 24 hours

When you can return to normal activities

• Work: Immediately or next morning

• Exercise: 24–48 hours

• Sun exposure: Avoid direct sun for 48 hours

Skin products:Avoid active ingredients (retinol, acids) for 48 hours

Recovery is still minimal, but slightly more noticeable than basic PRP because it adds volume.

Common after-effects (1–5 days)

• Mild swelling

• Tenderness or soreness

• Light bruising

• Feeling of “fullness” in treated areas (under-eyes, cheeks, lines)

• Small lumps may be felt initially but soften as the gel integrates

When you can return to normal activities

• Work: Same day or next day

• Exercise: 24–48 hours

• Makeup: Usually after 24 hours

• Swelling: Improves significantly within 48–72 hours

What to avoid

• Rubbing/massaging the area

• Heat (saunas, tanning, hot yoga) for 48 hours

• Heavy workouts first 48 hours

• Alcohol the first night (reduces bruising)
