Following your appointment, some mild reactions may occur. These can include redness, swelling, tenderness, or bruising at the treatment area. These responses are generally temporary and are considered a normal part of the body’s natural healing process.
However, if you experience any of the following symptoms, please contact your treating practitioner immediately or seek urgent medical attention:
• Severe or worsening pain
• A bruise that appears to be spreading or becoming mottled
• Blanching (whitening) of the skin
• Delayed capillary refill or signs of poor skin perfusion
• Any symptoms that concern you or feel outside what was discussed
If you are unsure whether your symptoms are within normal limits, please contact your treating practitioner on 0473 100 614 for advice.

PRP
To maximise the healing benefits from PRP Therapy, we strongly recommend the following:
• Please leave barrier of Platelet Rich Plasma applied to skin after treatment for as long as possible or Minimum of 4 hours. Please do not use a cleanser to remove PRP from skin, Just rinse with warm water and pat dry with a clean towel.
• Please do not use exfoliator, harsh cleansers, glycolic acids, retinol or other harsh facial products for 1 week following treatment
• Please do not wear makeup or pore clogging sunscreen/ tinted moisturisers for minimum 24 hours post treatment
• Swelling, bruising and redness is all normal following treatment for 24-48 hours. If you are concerned you are not healing as you should please contact your Injector.
• Please do not take any anti-inflammatory medications for 7 days post procedure as it may affect the efficacy of your PRP Treatment
• For patients who are on daily Asprin, please return to usual dose Aspirin 48 hours post procedure or as directed by your prescribing Doctor
• Please avoid exercise that will result in perspiration or a flushed face for 24 hours
• Very rarely, patients can have a significant response to the injected PRP, and local swelling in the under eye area can occur. This is due to the body initiating an amplified regenerative process in the area and will usually be evident at the time of procedure. Ice can be applied by your practitioner to minimise downtime. You may sleep with an extra pillow or head raised for the first night following procedure to help minimise under eye swelling.
Dissolving
• You can apply ice to the treated area to help with swelling and bruising
• Avoid alcohol and blood thinning medications for 24 hours post treatment (unless prescribed by a medical professional)
• Allow 2 weeks before refilling the treated area
