It is best to contact your doctor about post operative care and instructions since each doctor has a different regimen.In general PRP or micro-needling is not a normal post operative regimen.

Micro-needling does not make any difference to a hair transplant.
PRP is controversial, some doctors recommend it, I don't think it makes much difference,

good hair transplants do not need PRP or microneedling. The surgery stands on its own and a well done surgery will grow the hair that was transplanted
