• Avoid touching or washing your scalp for at least 8 hours post-treatment to reduce the risk of infection and allow full absorption of PRP or exosomes.
• Do not use hair products (e.g., shampoos, conditioners, styling products) for 24 hours following treatment.
• Avoid heat styling, hats, or tight hairstyles for 24–48 hours post-treatment.
• Refrain from vigorous exercise, saunas, steam rooms, or swimming for 48 hours to minimize irritation and sweating.
• Sleep on a clean pillowcase, and avoid letting your scalp come into contact with potentially dirty surfaces.
• Do not scratch or pick at the treated area, even if it feels itchy or sensitive.

• You may experience mild redness, tenderness, or pinpoint bleeding on the scalp immediately following the procedure.
• Soreness or tightness may be felt for up to 48 hours.
• Dryness, flaking, or itchiness is common during the first few days.

• Mild shedding of older hairs may occur in the first 1–2 weeks—this is a normal part of the hair cycle and makes room for new growth.
• You may notice less hair fall, improved scalp texture, and signs of new hair growth within a few weeks.
• Redness or flakiness typically subsides within 3–5 days.

• Initial improvement (reduced shedding and healthier scalp appearance) may be noticeable within 2–4 weeks.
• Visible hair regrowth generally occurs after 3–6 months, with continued improvement over 6–12 months.
• A series of 4–6 treatments, spaced 4–6 weeks apart, is typically recommended for best results.

• Use a gentle, sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner after 24 hours.
• Apply growth-stimulating topicals (such as minoxidil or peptides) only after 48 hours, if advised by your provider.
• Speak to your primary care provider about how micronutrient support may help you. Evidence supports supplementation with:
• Biotin (Vitamin B7): Supports keratin production and hair health (especially if deficient).
• Vitamin D: Low levels are linked to hair thinning—ask your provider to check your levels.
• Iron and Ferritin: Essential for hair growth, especially in women.
• Zinc: Important for scalp health and cell regeneration.
• Omega-3 fatty acids: Help reduce inflammation and support hair follicle function.
• Avoid smoking, excessive alcohol, and high-stress levels, as these can impair hair health.
• Maintain a nutrient-rich diet, including leafy greens, lean proteins, nuts, seeds, and whole grains to support hair follicle function.
• Continue with maintenance sessions every 3–6 months, depending on your goals and your provider’s recommendations.
