Had my 1st prp hair treatment 13 days ago. The doc injected me anesthesia twice in a form of a ring and made many injections of the prp in the crown area. On the 2nd day i suffered pain in the treated areal I tried Tylenol but it didn’t help the pain so I took 1 pill of Advil 400 mg. 3 days ago I saw my forehead has really swollen (see photos) so I took 60 mg of prednisone. In the evening I saw that the swelling has migrated to my nose bridge and around my eyes.is it normal? Why it happen? Thank you
