Does the Vitamin E in facial creams affect the result of a PRP treatment?

November 3, 2018
Asked By:Jangchub in Switzerland, CH

Before and after a PRP treatment I have always produced an extra cream without vitamin E or any tocopherol-containing oils - that is very complicated. I use base oils like neutral or jojoba oil, and things like aloe vera, ectoin, phospholipon 80h, ceramide, hyaluron, ferula acid, vitamin c, squalan, glycerin etc. Is it OK to use oils that naturally contain tocopherol, such as avocado or argan oil, or does that already affect the platelets? The skin seems too dry when only base oils are used.

Jake Wardwell, DO says:

Though I have seen it taught this way and it is one method to deliver and manipulate Prp, I do not think it is the best way to achieve the desired effect (thickening of collagen in the under eye area).  There is no need to rub aggressively. Medium pressure and light massage will help spread...

Jake Wardwell, DO says:

Prp should not be injected with steroids and NSAIDs are contraindicated after PRP. This happens all the time in conventional orthopedic practices that pick up PRP as a modality rather than training as a Regenerative medicine specialist. Bone on bone arthritis may not respond to PRP and...
