PRP Hair Aftercare
PRP Hair Aftercare Instructions
Thank you for choosing Evlin's Aesthetics for your PRP Hair Restoration treatment.
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) uses concentrated platelets from your own blood to support the scalp's natural repair processes and encourage healthier hair growth. Following the correct aftercare advice helps protect your scalp, supports healing and allows your treatment to achieve the best possible results.
Every patient heals differently, so always follow the personalised advice provided during your appointment.
Immediately After Treatment (First 12 Hours)
For the first 12 hours after treatment:
- Avoid touching or scratching your scalp.
- Do not wash your hair.
- Avoid applying styling products such as gels, sprays, waxes or dry shampoo.
- Keep the treated area clean.
- Avoid wearing tight hats or helmets unless necessary.
Your scalp may feel slightly tender or tight following treatment, which is a normal part of the healing process.
During the First 24 Hours
To support healing, avoid:
- Strenuous exercise
- Heavy sweating
- Alcohol
- Smoking, where possible
- Swimming pools
- Hot tubs
- Saunas and steam rooms
These activities may increase irritation or affect the healing process.
When Can I Wash My Hair?
Most patients can gently wash their hair 24 hours after treatment, unless your practitioner advises otherwise.
When washing your hair:
- Use lukewarm water.
- Choose a gentle shampoo.
- Avoid vigorous scrubbing.
- Pat your scalp dry rather than rubbing it with a towel.
If you have been given specific post-treatment products or instructions, please follow those recommendations.
During the First Week
For the next 7 days:
- Avoid harsh chemical hair treatments such as colouring, bleaching or perming.
- Avoid excessive heat from hair dryers or straighteners where possible.
- Protect your scalp from direct sun exposure by wearing a loose-fitting hat if needed.
- Continue using a broad-spectrum SPF on exposed areas of the scalp if appropriate.
What Is Normal?
After PRP Hair Restoration, it is common to experience:
- Mild redness
- Slight swelling
- Tenderness
- Small pinpoint marks where the injections were placed
- Mild itching as the scalp heals
These effects are usually temporary and settle over the following few days.
Healing Timeline
Treatment Day
- Mild redness and tenderness are common.
- Your scalp may feel slightly tight or sensitive.
Days 1–3
- Tenderness gradually improves.
- Small injection marks begin to fade.
Days 4–7
- The scalp usually feels back to normal.
- Any remaining redness or sensitivity should continue to improve.
Weeks 4–8
- The scalp's natural regenerative processes continue.
- Visible hair growth is not usually immediate, but healthy follicles are responding beneath the surface.
Months 3–6
- Many patients begin to notice improvements in hair thickness, reduced shedding and healthier-looking hair.
- Individual results vary, and a course of treatments is often recommended for the best outcomes.
When Will I See Results?
PRP Hair Restoration is a gradual treatment.
Most patients require a course of treatments before noticeable improvements become visible. Hair growth occurs in natural cycles, so patience and consistency are important.
Your personalised treatment plan will be discussed during your consultation.
Frequently Asked by Our Patients
Can I wash my hair after PRP?
Yes. Most patients can gently wash their hair after 24 hours, unless advised otherwise.
Can I exercise?
It is generally recommended to avoid strenuous exercise until the following day.
Can I colour my hair?
It is usually recommended to wait approximately one week before colouring or bleaching your hair, unless your practitioner advises differently.
Can I wear a hat?
A loose-fitting hat is usually acceptable if needed, but avoid anything that places unnecessary pressure or friction on the treated scalp during the first day.
Can I use hair products?
Avoid styling products for the first 24 hours. After that, you can usually return to your normal routine unless advised otherwise.
Will I lose hair after treatment?
Some patients notice temporary shedding as part of the hair growth cycle. This can be a normal response and does not necessarily mean the treatment has been unsuccessful.
How many PRP sessions will I need?
The number of treatments varies depending on your hair concerns and treatment goals. Many patients benefit from an initial course of sessions followed by maintenance treatments, which will be discussed during your consultation.
Can I take pain relief?
If you need pain relief after treatment, follow the advice given by your practitioner or healthcare professional. If you are unsure which medication is suitable for you, please ask before taking it.
