Expanded Candidate Information for Hyper PRP™

You may be a candidate if you’re generally healthy and looking for nonsurgical options for hair, skin, sexual wellness, or certain joint and tendon concerns. Some uses—including erectile dysfunction—are investigational, and results vary.

Hyper PRP™ may not be appropriate (or is typically deferred) in the situations below. Your clinician will make the final decision.

Active infection (at the treatment area or elsewhere in your body)

What it means: You currently have an infection—this could be a cold or flu, COVID‑19, strep throat, a urinary tract infection, or a skin infection where treatment would happen (the skin is red, warm, swollen, or draining). Elective procedures like Hyper PRP™ are usually postponed until you’re well.

How you might know: You have fever or chills, cough or sore throat, body aches, feel run‑down, or the skin where PRP will be applied is red, warm, tender, swollen, or draining. A clinician can confirm an infection with an exam and, if needed, tests.

What to do if this is you:

1. Tell your Hyper PRP provider if you’re sick now or recently finished treatment for an infection.
2. See your primary care provider to get diagnosed and treated (if you haven’t already).
3. Wait until the infection has fully cleared and you feel back to normal. If you were prescribed antibiotics or antivirals, finish the full course—don’t stop early unless the prescriber tells you to.
4. Get a quick “okay to proceed” from your primary care clinician before scheduling your Hyper PRP appointment.
5. If the infection was on the skin where you’ll be treated, wait until the area is fully healed—no redness, warmth, swelling, or drainage.

Bleeding problems

History of blood clots or a clotting tendency (“thrombophilia”)

What it means: You’ve had a blood clot in the past (for example, a clot in a leg vein or a clot in the lungs), or a doctor has told you that your blood is more likely than usual to form clots.

How you might know: You were treated for a blood clot before; you take a blood thinner (a medicine that prevents clots); or your doctor said you have a clotting condition based on your medical history or blood tests.

What to do if this is you:

1. Tell your Hyper PRP provider about any history of blood clots, if you have an established tendency to form clots, or if you are on blood thinners (or other medicines to prevent clots).
2. If your clot happened recently or your blood thinner dose is still being adjusted, you’ll likely be asked to wait.
3. If you are stable on treatment, ask the specialist who manages your condition (often a hematologist, cardiologist, or vascular specialist) for written clearance before scheduling your Hyper PRP procedure.
4. In most situations, do not start, stop, or change any medicines, treatments, or therapies unless the licensed clinician who prescribed them tells you to. If you think you’re having a serious allergic reaction—trouble breathing, swelling of the face, lips, or tongue, widespread hives, dizziness, or fainting—do not take another dose and seek emergency care right away (call 911 or your local emergency number).

Severe anemia (low red blood cells)

What it means: Your blood doesn’t have enough red blood cells to carry oxygen well. Because Hyper PRP involves drawing a small amount of blood, your levels need to be healthy before treatment.

How you might know: You may feel very tired, short of breath, light‑headed, or look pale. Some people have headaches or a fast heartbeat—and some have no symptoms at all. Only a routine blood test from your clinician can confirm anemia.

What to do if this is you:

1. Tell your Hyper PRP provider if you’ve been told you have anemia, low iron, or if you recently donated blood.
2. See your primary care provider (and hematologist if needed) to find and treat the cause (for example, iron or vitamin levels, or other health issues).
3. Wait until your levels are back in a healthy range and you feel better; ask your clinician—or a hematologist if you see one—for clearance in writing before scheduling Hyper PRP.
4. In most situations, do not start, stop, or change any medicines, iron supplements, vitamins, treatments, or therapies unless the licensed clinician who prescribed them tells you to. If you think you’re having a serious allergic reaction—trouble breathing, swelling of the face, lips, or tongue, widespread hives, dizziness, or fainting—do not take another dose and seek emergency care right away (call 911 or your local emergency number).

Blood cancers (such as leukemia)

What it means: These are cancers that start in the blood-forming parts of the body (like the bone marrow or lymph system). Examples include leukemia, lymphoma, and multiple myeloma.

How you might know: You would have been diagnosed by your cancer team. Some people notice frequent infections, easy bruising or bleeding, tiredness, night sweats, or weight loss, but only a clinician can confirm this with exams and tests.

What to do if this is you:

1. Tell your Hyper PRP provider about your cancer history and any current treatments.
2. If your cancer is active or you’re in treatment now, elective procedures like Hyper PRP are usually postponed.
3. If you are in remission or considered cured, ask the specialist who manages your care (usually your oncologist or hematologist) for written clearance before scheduling your Hyper PRP procedure.
4. In most situations, do not start, stop, or change any cancer medicines or other treatments unless the licensed clinician who prescribed them tells you to. If you think you’re having a serious allergic reaction—trouble breathing, swelling of the face, lips, or tongue, widespread hives, dizziness, or fainting—do not take another dose and seek emergency care right away (call 911 or your local emergency number).

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding elective hair or skin procedures (like microneedling with PRP) are typically postponed

What it means: Because these services are elective (for appearance or wellness) and safety data in pregnancy and breastfeeding are limited, Hyper PRP usually wait until after pregnancy and, if breastfeeding, until your care team says it’s okay to proceed.

How you might know: You had a positive pregnancy test or you are currently breastfeeding.

What to do if this is you:

1. Tell your Hyper PRP provider if you are pregnant, trying to conceive, or breastfeeding.
2. Postpone the treatment until after pregnancy; if you’re breastfeeding, wait until your licensed pediatric clinician advises it’s safe for you—or until you have finished breastfeeding.
3. Ask your obstetrician or midwife—and, if breastfeeding, your pediatric clinician—for clear guidance or written clearance before rescheduling your Hyper PRP procedure.
4. In most situations, do not start, stop, or change any medicines, supplements, treatments, or therapies unless the licensed clinician who prescribed them tells you to. If you think you’re having a serious allergic reaction—trouble breathing, swelling of the face, lips, or tongue, widespread hives, dizziness, or fainting—do not take another dose and seek emergency care right away (call 911 or your local emergency number).
5. When your status changes (for example, your dose is stable or your post procedure restriction ends), update your Hyper PRP provider so you can safely plan next steps.

When injections or blood draws are not advised

What it means: For now, shots or blood draws aren’t safe for you because of your current health or medicines. Examples include being on blood thinners, having just had surgery or a procedure, or having a medical condition where your clinician told you to avoid injections or blood draws. Hyper PRP™ involves both a small blood draw and injections (or microneedling), so these restrictions matter.

How you might know: A clinician told you to avoid injections or blood draws for a period of time; your discharge instructions include similar restrictions; your medication plan mentions limits; or your dose is still being adjusted (for example, with a blood thinner).

What to do if this is you:

1. Tell your Hyper PRP provider about the restriction and list all medicines you take—especially blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs.
2. Ask the clinician who set the restriction (for example, your surgeon, cardiologist, hematologist, or primary care provider) when injections and blood draws will be safe again, and whether Hyper PRP is appropriate for you.
3. Get written clearance from that clinician before scheduling Hyper PRP.
4. In most situations, do not start, stop, or change any medicines, supplements, therapies, or other aspects of your treatment plan unless the licensed clinician who prescribed them tells you to. If you think you’re having a serious allergic reaction—trouble breathing, swelling of the face, lips, or tongue, widespread hives, dizziness, or fainting—do not take another dose and seek emergency care right away (call 911 or your local emergency number).
5. When your status changes (for example, your dose is stable or your post procedure restriction ends), update your Hyper PRP provider so you can safely plan next steps.
