I had a prp therapy for my hair and today my forehead is swollen is it something to worry about?

In my opinion, your forehead is swollen because of trauma to the scalp. This sometimes occurs due to an aggressive PRP treatment or one which uses extensive  multiple punctures or micro-needling. It should resolve within a few days.If not, return to your doctor. Sleep on a couple pillows,keep  head elevated and don't eat any salty food. Avoid drinking alcohol. Hope this helps. Good luck.

A little swelling on the forehead is common after PRP injections to the scalp. The swelling should dissipate in about 48 hours. If you have concerns, please consult with your injector. Best, Dr. Emer

If you do prp on your scalp then yes you can certainly get swelling that dissipates after 48 hours. The lack of sleep has so many variables as to why that's happening, stress, alcohol intake, anxiety, eating a heavy a meal at night, too much tv and cellphone and blue light exposure to affect your rem sleep...it's hard to point it to prp only....

Swelling after a PRP treatment is completely normal. If you see swelling after 3 days then I would recommend you call the Doctor that performed the PRP treatment on you. It is most often that patients experience a little swelling after the treatment though.

Thank you for posting your question. Post PRP procedure on the scalp, it is common for patients to have a bit of swelling on the site or surrounding areas. It should last for about 48 hours and should get better. This is common especially when micro needling is performed. It is normal part of the recovery process. Hope this helps.

2 possible reasons why you have swelling in order of most to least likely.  Also an important piece of the infomration ommitted is how much PRP you had injected.  As PRP is an atraumatic noninvasive proceure, we would not expect any traumatic swelling for you.Howver if for example a ring anesthesia block was performed, that will be about 40ml of solution that needs to traveerse your scalp.  For every half of scalp, 13 ml of prp is required so you could have had upto 90 ml of fluid inected into your scalpThis fluid will need to come down anteriorly thorugh the face and posteriorly as you have very little lymphatic drainage in the scalp itself.Hence you had a bit of swelling, likely because you were not sleeping upright for the first 3 days after the PRP injection.  No issues, will not impact efficacy of your treatment. Sleep upright for a day or so, your swelling will resolve,  Make sure to apply no ice to your scalp and swollen regions as this will delay activation of the platelets injected.  Second possibility you may be swollen is allergy but in that case you should expect lips also to be swollen and perhpas rashes over the body.  Unlikely. Good luck and you should begin seeing results from your PRP treatment in 5 months.
