Can PRP cause a blood clot or vascular occlusion?

Hi @Trustworthy7460. PRP is typically injected into the tear trough, smile lines, and the scalp for hair growth. Best of luck, Dr. Nima!

Hello, Ideally a patient should not drink any kind of alcohol at least 2 days prior to PRP as this can increase the risk for bruising and bleeding.  Cheers from Dallas!
