# Can I exercise after getting PRP for hair loss?

It's generally recommended to take a short break from strenuous exercise for about 24-48 hours after your PRP hair treatment. Here's why:

- **Minimizing Scalp Pressure:** Strenuous exercise increases blood flow to the scalp, which could theoretically cause mild swelling or discomfort at the injection sites.
- **Sweat and Irritation:** Excessive sweating might irritate your scalp, especially right after injections.
- **Healing Time:** Allowing a brief rest period promotes initial healing and lets the PRP work optimally.

**Gentle Exercise:** Light walks or gentle exercise may be okay, but it's best to check with your AIVI Aesthetics practitioner for personalized guidance.

**Resume Gradually:** After the initial rest period, gradually ease back into your usual exercise routine. Listen to your body and prioritize a comfortable recovery.
