PRP by Eclipse

What Does a PRP by Eclipse Treatment Consist of?

Preparation for your PRP extraction appointment is relatively simple and mostly consists of following healthy living guidelines and any personalized instructions provided by Adam and Eve Medical Aesthetics in Scottsdale. Avoid over the counter anti-inflammatory medications starting about a week before your treatment. Starting about 48 hours prior to your treatment, avoid caffeine and alcohol. Come to our facility for your procedure well rested, and eat and drink as normal throughout that day.

PRP treatments are relatively simple and take about 30 minutes to complete. Most patients report little or no discomfort. To begin, we will apply a topical numbing cream to the area of treatment or use an ice pack if injections are to be made in the scalp region. Then, Dr. Janson or one of our nurses will perform a blood draw. Next, the blood drawn will be spun down in a centrifuge, separating out the platelets and creating the PRP that will be injected for your treatment. Finally, the PRP will be injected or applied to the skin in addition to microneedling, depending on your exact treatment plan.

Immediately following your treatment, expect some bruising, redness, swelling, tenderness or tingling. All of these symptoms are short-lived and will typically subside within a few hours. Cold packs can be used to provide relief from any discomfort. For the first day after your treatment, do not wash the skin or expose it to extreme heat including direct sunlight, Jacuzzis or hot baths and showers. Avoid touching, exfoliating or scratching at the injection site. If you are combining different therapies, most can be performed immediately after PRP by Eclipse but should then be avoided for about two weeks afterwards. This will be discussed with you at your pre-treatment consultation with Adam and Eve Medical Aesthetics. Serious side effects are uncommon with this procedure, but if you have any questions or concerns, seek medical advice or call us at Adam and Eve Medical Aesthetics in Scottsdale.
