Most facial treatments can be done immediately prior to the PRP treatment but not for 2 weeks after. Continue increased water intake the first week after your treatment,

Most patients will see results within 2-4 weeks, continued results will be seen up to 12 weeks. We recommend a series of 3-6 treatments administered at 2-4-week intervals.
