To help you get the best results from your PDGF Hair Restoration treatment, please review and follow the pre-care checklist below.
One week before
- If medically safe, avoid NSAIDs and blood thinners (aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxen) for 3–5 days.
- Discontinue fish oil, vitamin E, and herbal anticoagulants.
- Do not color, chemically treat, or perm hair within 3 days prior.
72 hours before
- Stay well hydrated for 2–3 days prior.
- No alcohol for 72 hours.
- Hold topical minoxidil 48–72 hours.
- No scalp styling products.
Day of treatment
- Wash hair the night before or morning of treatment — clean scalp, no products.
- Eat a light meal and hydrate well.
- Wear a loose top.
- Notify your provider of any recent illness, infection, or medication changes.
What to expect
- No blood draw required — PDGF is applied directly via microneedling.
- Mild scalp tenderness or redness for 1–3 days is normal.
- Temporary shedding at 2–6 weeks can occur — a normal follicular reset.
- Fuller, thicker hair develops gradually over several months with consistent treatment.
