Most clinics will advise postponing elective PRP treatments during pregnancy and breastfeeding, mainly because suitability has not been well established in these groups. A reputable practitioner should discuss your medical history and timing and may recommend waiting until breastfeeding is finished.

It depends on the medicine and why you take it. Anticoagulants and regular anti-inflammatory use can affect bruising and, in some cases, the way platelets function, so your practitioner will usually want a full medication list before recommending treatment. Never stop prescribed medication without advice from the clinician who manages it.

PRP uses your own blood, but that does not automatically mean it is suitable for everyone. Clinics typically screen for issues such as blood disorders, active infection, and certain immune or clotting conditions, because these can affect safety or the quality of the PRP preparation. Your practitioner should confirm suitability during a medical consultation.

A straightforward way is to ask the clinic to confirm the system name and show you the packaging for the Cellenis tubes or kit on the day. You can also use platforms that list verified clinics, and cross-check practitioner registration (for example, GMC or NMC) where relevant.

Not exactly. “Vampire facial” is a marketing term that can refer to different combinations of microneedling and PRP, and it is not a regulated treatment name. If you see that phrase, ask what is actually being used (including which PRP system) and whether PRP is injected, applied topically, or both.

This varies by clinic protocol and whether you had injections, microneedling, or another combined approach. Many practitioners recommend avoiding makeup for a short period to reduce irritation and keep the skin clean while the surface settles. Follow your provider’s written aftercare, as it should be tailored to the technique used.

Most people can return to normal routines quickly, but they are often advised to avoid heavy exercise, saunas, and swimming for a brief period after treatment. The aim is to reduce unnecessary heat, sweating, and exposure to bacteria while injection sites calm down. Your practitioner should give specific timings based on the area treated.

PRP is often discussed as suitable across skin tones because it does not rely on heat or light energy in the way some laser treatments do. That said, individual skin behaviour still varies, especially if you are prone to post-inflammatory pigmentation, so it is worth discussing your history and any previous reactions with your practitioner.

If you have active inflammation, broken skin, or infection in the treatment area, many clinicians will recommend waiting until it is controlled. PRP involves injections (and sometimes combined procedures), so treating over irritated skin can increase discomfort and complication risk. A consultation should clarify whether you need to stabilise a condition first.

PRP quality depends on your own blood profile, including platelet function and overall health. If you have known anaemia or low platelets, your practitioner may advise medical review first, or suggest delaying until the underlying issue is addressed. If relevant, bring recent blood test results to your consultation.

Needling or injections around the mouth can trigger cold sores in people who are prone to them. Tell your practitioner in advance, as they may recommend a preventative approach (such as antiviral medication) depending on your history and the planned treatment area.

Some clinics also discuss Cellenis PRP DermaFiller as a separate, regenerative volumising option created from a patient’s own blood, with reported preparation volumes depending on kit size. If you are comparing options, ask whether the clinic is offering PRP for skin quality or a PRP-derived filler approach, as the aims and techniques differ.

Often, it is possible, but timing and sequencing matter. Practitioners may recommend spacing treatments to reduce swelling and make it easier to assess changes, particularly in the same area (for example, under the eyes or mid-face). Bring details of what you had, when, and where, so a clinician can advise safely.
