It is normal to experience: bruising, redness, itching, soreness, firmness, and swelling that may last from 3-10 days following your procedure.

DISCOMFORT: Discomfort may be experienced during blood draw where there is a slight pinch to insert the needle for the blood collection as well as during the procedure if PRF is injected into the site. Repeat injections may be necessary.
BRUISING, SWELLING, INFECTION: With any minimally invasive procedure, bruising of the treated area may occur. Additionally, there may be swelling noted. Finally, skin infection is rare, but always a possibility with any injection or incision into the skin.
SCARRING: Scar at entry point is extremely rare but must always be considered a possibility when entering the skin. Delayed wound healing and/or scarring may occur.
Vascular Compromise: As with any dermal injectable there is a possible, although rare, risk of vascular compromise which may lead to emboli, stroke, occlusion, and or blindness.
