PRP therapy is a low-risk, minimally invasive procedure when performed by a qualified medical professional. Because PRP is derived from the patient’s own blood, the risk of allergic reaction, immune response, or disease transmission is extremely rare. However, as with any injectable treatment, some temporary side effects may occur.
Common post-treatment effects include mild swelling, redness, tenderness, or bruising at the injection sites. These symptoms typically resolve within a few hours to several days. Patients undergoing PRP facial rejuvenation may experience slight tightness or warmth in the treated area as collagen production is stimulated.
For PRP hair restoration, mild scalp sensitivity or pinpoint bleeding may occur immediately after treatment. These effects usually subside within 24 to 48 hours. Most patients are able to return to work and normal activities the same day or the following day.
Dr. Charles Kim follows strict patient safety protocols at CK Plastic Surgery, including sterile blood handling, medical-grade centrifugation, and precise injection techniques. Patients receive personalized post-procedure instructions to minimize swelling, reduce bruising, and optimize healing.
Results from PRP therapy develop gradually, with visible improvements typically appearing within 4 to 6 weeks and continuing for several months as collagen and tissue regeneration progresses. Multiple sessions may be recommended for optimal and long-lasting results, particularly for hair restoration.
