Preparing for Your Platelet-Rich Plasma or Platelet-Rich Fibrin Treatment
PRP and PRF treatments use components obtained from your own blood and may be used in selected aesthetic procedures to support skin rejuvenation.
At Eureka Body Care & Spa, your provider will explain the procedure, expected recovery, and recommended care instructions.
Before Your Appointment
- Drink water and arrive adequately hydrated, unless your healthcare provider has instructed otherwise.
- Eat normally unless you receive specific fasting instructions.
- Inform your provider about medications, blood disorders, bleeding conditions, and medical history.
- Discuss blood thinners and anti-inflammatory medications with your healthcare provider. Do not discontinue prescribed medication independently.
- Avoid excessive alcohol before treatment.
- Notify your provider of any active infection, skin irritation, or recent cosmetic procedures.
After Your PRP or PRF Treatment
- Mild swelling, redness, tenderness, or bruising may occur.
- Avoid touching or applying unnecessary pressure to treated areas.
- Follow your provider’s instructions about when to wash your face, especially if PRP was combined with microneedling.
- Avoid strenuous exercise, saunas, and excessive heat during the initial recovery period as instructed.
- Avoid harsh exfoliants, retinoids, and irritating skincare products until cleared by your provider.
- Use only recommended skincare products during recovery.
What to Expect After Treatment
Temporary redness, swelling, and tenderness may occur, particularly when treatment includes injections or microneedling.
Results vary based on the procedure performed, treatment plan, and individual healing response. Multiple sessions may be recommended.
Frequently Asked Questions

Your provider may recommend avoiding strenuous activity during the first 24–48 hours, depending on the treatment.
