PRP Facial Aftercare
PRP Facial Aftercare Instructions
Thank you for choosing Evlin's Aesthetics for your PRP Facial Rejuvenation treatment.
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) is a regenerative treatment that uses concentrated platelets from your own blood to support your skin's natural healing processes. Following these aftercare instructions will help protect your skin, promote recovery and support the best possible results.
Your skin may appear red and feel sensitive immediately after treatment, particularly if PRP has been combined with microneedling. These effects are a normal part of the healing process.
Immediately After Treatment (First 24 Hours)
For the first 24 hours:
- Avoid touching your face unless necessary.
- Do not apply makeup.
- Keep the treated area clean.
- Avoid rubbing or scratching the skin.
- Use only the skincare products recommended by your practitioner.
- Stay well hydrated.
Allow your skin time to begin its natural healing process.
During the First 48 Hours
For the next two days, avoid:
- Strenuous exercise
- Heavy sweating
- Swimming pools
- Saunas and steam rooms
- Hot baths or hot tubs
- Alcohol where possible
- Excessive sun exposure
These activities may increase redness or irritation while your skin is healing.
Skincare After PRP
For the first few days:
- Use a gentle cleanser.
- Apply a moisturiser recommended by your practitioner if needed.
- Avoid exfoliating products.
- Avoid retinoids, AHAs, BHAs and other active ingredients until advised.
- Wear a broad-spectrum SPF daily once your practitioner confirms it is appropriate.
Gentle skincare helps support your skin barrier during recovery.

After PRP Facial Rejuvenation, it is common to experience:
- Redness

A course of treatments is often recommended for the best results.
Frequently Asked by Our Patients
Can I wash my face?
Yes. Most patients can gently cleanse their face later the same day or the following morning, depending on the treatment performed. Follow the personalised advice provided during your appointment.
Can I wear makeup?
It is generally recommended to avoid makeup for the first 24 hours or until your practitioner advises that it is safe to apply.
Can I exercise?
Avoid strenuous exercise for approximately 24 hours to help minimise redness and irritation.
Can I use my normal skincare routine?
Not immediately. Avoid active ingredients such as retinoids, exfoliating acids and vitamin C serums until advised by your practitioner. A gentle cleanser and moisturiser are usually recommended during the initial healing period.
Can I go in the sun?
Avoid direct sun exposure while your skin is healing. Once advised, apply a broad-spectrum SPF every day to help protect your skin.
Why does my skin feel rough?
Temporary dryness or roughness can occur as your skin renews itself. Avoid picking or exfoliating the skin and allow the healing process to continue naturally.
How many treatments will I need?
The number of sessions depends on your skin concerns and treatment goals. Many patients achieve the best results with a course of treatments followed by maintenance sessions.
Can PRP be combined with other treatments?
Yes. PRP is often combined with treatments such as microneedling as part of a personalised treatment plan. Your practitioner will recommend the most suitable approach for your skin.
