Recommendations for the Scalp and Hair Care
[Click here for recommendations for the Face, Neck, and Décolleté Areas.]
PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) and Mesotherapy are treatments designed to prevent hair loss and increase hair density. Following these post-treatment care guidelines will enhance the treatment’s effectiveness and reduce potential side effects. Here’s what to keep in mind:
First 24 Hours
- Avoid Touching: Refrain from touching the treated scalp area for the first 24 hours. If you need to touch it, make sure to wash your hands thoroughly beforehand.
- Cold Compress: If you feel discomfort, you may apply a cold compress to reduce swelling for 10-15 minutes. Place the ice pack over a thin cloth rather than directly on the scalp.
- Avoid Water Contact: Avoid direct water contact, such as showering or washing your hair, on the day of treatment.
- Avoid Exercise: Refrain from strenuous exercise that may cause excessive sweating.
- Headwear: If you plan to wear a hat, cap, scarf, or similar headwear after treatment, ensure these items are clean and regularly changed. Clean headwear reduces the risk of infection in the treated area and supports a healthy healing process.
First Week
- Hair Serums: Use the recommended hair serums to support your hair follicles after treatment. These serums help strengthen hair roots and promote healthy hair growth.
- Shampoos: When washing your hair, use shampoos that nourish and support hair roots. These shampoos help aid in scalp recovery after treatment.
General Recommendations
- Avoid Alcohol and Smoking: Avoid alcohol consumption and, if possible, refrain from smoking, as these can slow down scalp healing.
- Hair Products: Avoid using hair styling products like sprays and gels for the first 48 hours post-treatment.
- Diet and Hydration: Maintain a balanced diet and stay hydrated by drinking enough water. Healthy nutrition supports overall hair health.
Warnings
- Possible Side Effects: If you experience pain, persistent itching, hair shedding, or signs of infection, contact your doctor immediately.
- Follow-Up Appointment: Be patient, as the full effects of the treatment may take several weeks to appear. Attend your scheduled follow-up appointment to assess your recovery progress.
Important Note
Appropriate post-treatment care will enhance the effectiveness of PRP and Mesotherapy for hair treatment and reduce the risk of unwanted complications. Follow your doctor’s recommendations closely, and contact them promptly if any issues arise.
