Nervous About Your First PRP Treatment? Here's What to Prepare
By Highline Aesthetics | 2026-05-28
Feeling nervous about your first PRP treatment is completely normal, so many of our new clients are in the same boat! One comforting detail is that you’re in great hands with our experienced team. They prioritize open communication and are here to address any concerns or questions you have before, during, and after your appointment.
What to Do Before Your Appointment
To prepare for your PRP treatment, we recommend staying well-hydrated and avoiding blood thinners, such as aspirin or ibuprofen, for at least a week before. It’s also a good idea to discuss any specific medical conditions or medications with your specialist. This helps us tailor the treatment to your needs.
What to Expect During Your Appointment
When you arrive, you’ll check in and have a brief consultation to go over final details. Then we’ll typically start by drawing a small vial of blood to process into PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma). This part takes just a few minutes, and many clients say it’s less intimidating than they expected. After that, we’ll apply a numbing cream to ensure you’re comfortable during the injections.

The injection phase usually lasts about 15 minutes. You might experience some mild discomfort, but most people find it manageable.
Aftercare and Recovery
After your treatment, you might notice some redness or swelling, which is perfectly normal. We recommend using a gentle cleanser and avoiding sun exposure for a few days. Feel free to ask how long results will take to appear, our specialists are here to help you set realistic expectations so you can see the improvements over the coming weeks.
Most clients start to see noticeable results within a month, but it can take a little longer depending on your unique healing process. If any questions pop up during recovery, don't hesitate to reach out; we're always ready to support you.

Our staff will work closely with you to ensure you leave feeling confident and excited about your results. Many clients become regulars after their first visit!
