After receiving a Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) treatment, your skin enters an active regeneration phase.
During this time, following the right aftercare is essential to achieve the best results and avoid irritation or unwanted effects.
Below, we explain what to do — and what to avoid — in the days following the procedure.
First 24 Hours: Let Your Skin Breathe
During the first day, avoid touching the treated area and do not apply makeup or skincare products containing fragrances or alcohol.
PRP can leave the skin more sensitive, so keeping it clean and free of harsh products is key.
You may wash your face with a gentle cleanser and cold water, without rubbing.
???? Tip: Sleep with your head slightly elevated to help reduce any mild swelling or redness — both are normal after PRP.
Avoid Direct Sunlight and Excess Heat
For the next 48 to 72 hours, avoid:
- Sun exposure
- Saunas
- Steam rooms
- Intense workouts
UV rays can interfere with collagen regeneration, and excessive sweat may irritate the skin.
Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen and avoid tanning for the first few days.
Hydration and Recommended Skincare
PRP stimulates collagen production from within, but your skin also needs external hydration.
Use a repairing or soothing moisturizer recommended by your specialist, or one that contains pure hyaluronic acid.
Avoid for at least one week:
- Exfoliants
- Retinoids
- Glycolic or salicylic acids
- Any aggressive or resurfacing treatments

PRP has become one of the safest and most effective options in modern aesthetic medicine.
Its regenerative action stimulates the skin’s natural repair processes, providing gradual and long-lasting improvements without external substances.
When combined with healthy habits — balanced nutrition, quality sleep, and daily sun protection — the benefits of PRP multiply.
Each session contributes not only to aesthetic enhancement but also to the overall health and vitality of the skin.
Every skin is unique — and so is its aftercare.
