Pre-Treatment & Planning Guide

Pre-Treatment Care for PRP Microneedling Facial

✅ One week before coming in, speak with your physician or Dr. David before stopping any prescription medications, and strictly avoid alcohol.
✅ Pause blood-thinning supplements to protect your skin from bruising.
✅ Double your water intake for three days before your appointment to make your blood draw easy.
✅ Stop anti-inflammatory drugs five days prior, and pause all retinoids three days out.
✅ Arrive completely bare-faced and ready for your phlebotomy session.
✅ Plan for three to ten days of clinical and social downtime — skin will look tight and flushed like a moderate sunburn, fading significantly by day two.

Getting ready for your PRP microneedling facial means prioritizing hydration and skin safety. One week before coming in, speak with your physician or Dr. David before stopping any prescription medications. Avoid alcohol and pause blood-thinning supplements to protect your skin from bruising. Double your water intake for three days before your appointment to make your blood draw easy. Stop anti-inflammatory drugs five days prior, and pause all retinoids three days out. Arrive completely bare-faced. Plan for a clinical and social downtime window of three to ten days. Your skin will initially look tight and flushed like a moderate sunburn, so make sure you have fresh pillowcases and mineral sunscreen ready at home. If you have any other questions or concerns, contact our team at Magnolia Skin Center.
