How to Maximize Your PRP Results: Lifestyle and Skincare Tips

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) treatments have gained popularity for stimulating hair growth and rejuvenating the skin naturally. By using your body’s own platelets, PRP triggers collagen production and promotes cellular repair. At MDCS Dermatology, Lauren Penzi, MD specializes in PRP therapies and offers guidance on how to enhance and maintain your results with simple lifestyle and skincare strategies.

Why Aftercare Matters

PRP works gradually by stimulating your body’s healing and regenerative processes. Proper aftercare—along with healthy habits—helps ensure your treatment delivers the best possible outcomes.

Skincare Tips Post-PRP

• Gentle Cleansing: Avoid harsh products and exfoliants for at least 24–48 hours after treatment to minimize irritation.
  

• Sun Protection: Daily use of a broad-spectrum SPF helps protect new skin cells and maintain collagen production.
  

• Hydration: Apply soothing, hydrating serums or creams to support skin barrier recovery.
  

• Avoid Makeup Initially: Give your skin 24 hours to heal before applying cosmetics.
  
  

Lifestyle Habits to Support PRP

• Nutrition: A diet rich in protein, vitamins, and antioxidants supports hair and skin health from within.
  
  

• Hydration: Drink plenty of water to help maintain skin elasticity and optimal healing.
  

• Stress Management: Chronic stress can negatively impact hair growth and skin rejuvenation. Incorporating stress-reducing habits like meditation, exercise, or yoga can enhance results.
  

• Sleep: Quality sleep allows your body to repair and regenerate tissue effectively.
  
  

Combining PRP with Other Treatments

Many patients benefit from combining PRP with other therapies—such as microneedling, lasers, or hair restoration regimens—for more dramatic outcomes. Dr. Penzi tailors every plan based on your goals and skin or hair type.
