Info
Taking care of your skin and hair after your procedure is imperative, it will have a direct impact on your results.
Thank you for visiting Unity Collective Studios for your treatment! Please carefully read and follow the guidelines below to ensure your health, safety, and optimal results.
What can you expect after treatment?
​
-
Mild inflammation, redness, swelling, itching and/or soreness for a few days (usually 2-5). These are common to any injection procedure.
-
If desired, you may take Arnica pellets (3-5, 3 times a day) until any bruising clears.
-
If there are any tiny bumps around your treatment site, don't worry, this is perfectly normal and will go away in a few hours after treatment.
-
It's normal to feel firmness in the injection site for a few days post-treatment. This will soften over time.
​
To maximize your results and ensure your safety, do not wash your scalp or hair for 48 hours after your procedure. Feel free to body shower, but avoid steam showers and do not wash the treated area.
​
Drink plenty of water to aid in the healing process.
Change your pillow case prior to going to bed after your treatment to reduce the risk of infection.
​
AVOID touching, pressing, rubbing, or any manipulation to the treated area for 48 hours after treatment. Do not wear a hat, style your hair with products, or use a brush for 48 hours after treatment.
​
AVOID strenuous exercise and activities (that cause you to sweat) for 3 days after treatment.
AVOID Advil, Aleve, Aspirin, Ibuprofen, Motrin and Naproxen for 2 weeks post-treatment as these medications can interfere with the treatment’s effectiveness.
AVOID Nutritional supplements (Biotin, Gingko, garlic, Vitamin E, Flax oil, Curcumin and any other anti-inflammatory supplements) for 2 weeks after your treatment, as these supplements can interfere with your results.
AVOID alcohol, caffeine and smoking for 3 days after treatment.
AVOID high heat (sauna, steam room, very hot showers) for 48 hours post-treatment.
AVOID the sun and use a physical SPF daily (preferably mineral-based).
AVOID facials, facial massage or laser treatments for 2 weeks afterwards. Most facial treatments can be done immediately prior to the PRP treatment, but not for 2 weeks after.
Most patients will see results within 2-4 weeks; continued results can be seen up to 12 weeks. We recommend a series of 3-6 treatments administered at 4-week intervals; however, your care provider will provide guidance after assessing you.
