Wanting to know how to get the most out of your PRP?
Of course, the PRP system used makes a big difference. The Emcyte system used at the Mayah Clinic is a world leader in producing a concentrated, cell specific product from the blood taken. BUT – what can you do to make your platelets and growth factors better??
No smoking and No vaping for a start. Then only small to moderate alcohol consumption in your life, with 2 days of none before your visit and for a few days after.
A healthy diet – good nutrition is important.
And drinking plenty of water ( 1-2 litres a day), especially 2 days before and in the following week.
Then 2 days prior to your treatment you will need to stop the use of medications or supplements that can increase the risk of bleeding/bruising too much, that may lead to platelet damage, or suppress the benefits of the PRP-induced inflammation.
These include:
- Aspirin
- Nurofen, Voltaren, Celebrex, Mobil etc. ( anti inflammatories)
- Garlic
- Omega 3 fatty acids
- Green tea and caffeine ( small amounts fine)
- Herbs like Echinacea, St John’s Wart and Evening Primrose Oil
- Fatty / unhealthy food
Then – just eat a light healthy snack within 4 hours of blood collection and your set!
It’s a perfect low risk way to improve skin quality, facial volume and hair growth.
