I had PRP/ACell treatment about 48 hours ago, with numbing injections prior to the treatment around my scalp. Most of the numbness wore off within a couple of hours, as expected, but I still feel a small amount of numbness on most of my scalp. A few specific areas, to the touch, stimulate a numb, tingling sensation in the area, as well. Is this normal? The soreness is minor and expected, but I wasn't sure if lingering numbness is expected.
