Congratulations on your treatment. I would suggest only using products approved by your surgeon/injector. Look for a list of approved skin care in your post-injection instructions. Good luck. Dr. ALDO
I presume you mean PRP treatment on the face: At this time its okay to continue your normal skin care products.
Thank you for your question. PRP is a simple and effective facial rejuvenation procedure and you can continue your normal skin care routine post the procedure.

We normally advise that only products prescribed by the physician who treated you should be used for 1 week following the PRP session.Do not use any aggressive cosmetic products until your skin is totally healed and ensure you wear a protective SPF cream.

If your skin still feels more sensitive than usual, hold off on these products and continue using Cerave moisturizer.You can try your preferred skincare. Doctors would usually suggest products that promote healing like SkinMedica TNS complex.You should always wear an SPF of 20 or greater when exposed to any sunlight. SPF must not be applied for the first 48-72 hours, so sun exposure must be avoided.All the best, Justin Harper, M.D.

Usually the immediate effects of PRP wears off in a few days. I would not be too concerned yet. In another week or so you should see full resolution of your swelling, if for some reason it still swollen by then see your provider . Gentle massages to the area might help if there is some swelling...
