How Does PRP Work?

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) is a concentrate of platelets derived from your own blood. The process involves drawing a small amount of your blood, then spinning it in a centrifuge to separate the platelets from the red and white blood cells. The resulting PRP serum is rich in growth factors, which can stimulate tissue regeneration and promote collagen production.

How PRP Works for Under-Eye Injections

• Blood Draw: A small amount of your blood is drawn, usually from your arm.
• Processing: The blood is placed in a centrifuge, which spins it at high speeds to separate the plasma, which contains a high concentration of platelets, from other components.
• Injection: The PRP is then injected into the under-eye area, focusing on the tear troughs, fine lines, and areas of volume loss.

The growth factors in PRP stimulate collagen production and cellular regeneration, which helps improve skin texture, reduce the appearance of fine lines, and address volume loss in the under-eye area.

Improved Skin Tone and Texture

Reduction of Dark Circles

Reduction of Fine Lines and Wrinkles

Restoring Volume

Great for patients who are not ready for dermal filler injections 

Results: PRP treatments can take a few weeks to show results as collagen regeneration and skin improvement occur gradually. Full results are typically visible after about 3-4 weeks, with optimal effects seen in 2-3 months. 

Frequency: Most patients undergo 3 sessions spaced about 4-8 weeks apart for optimal results.

Maintenance: To maintain the results, treatments may be repeated every 6-12 months, depending on individual needs.

Risks and Side Effects:

While PRP is generally considered safe due to using the patient’s own blood, there are some potential side effects

Bruising or swelling: This is the most common side effect and usually resolves within a few days.

PRP under-eye injections are suitable for people with:

Mild to moderate under-eye bags, dark circles, or tear trough hollows.

Fine lines and wrinkles under the eyes.

Those who prefer a natural, non-surgical option.

However, PRP might not be ideal for people with certain medical conditions, such as blood disorders or skin conditions in the under-eye area. A consultation with a Dr. Z is necessary to determine if you're a suitable candidate.
