Supplements/medications after PRP facial?

jgrissom89Mar 11, 2016
I had a platelet-rich plasma facial yesterday. Really excited, I think the results are going to be great. I know there are certain medications and supplements to avoid for a couple of weeks after the procedure. A couple that I am unsure of--I am a weight-lifter and normally take Creatine. Is that ok? Also I use minoxidil on my scalp to combat hair loss. Since that affects blood flow so close that my face, could that affect the results of the procedure? Prompt responses would be very much appreciated!
