Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy is a powerful treatment option for rejuvenating the under-eye area. By utilising your body’s natural healing properties, PRP therapy can address common concerns such as dark circles, hollowness, and fine lines. The procedure involves drawing a small amount of your blood, processing it to concentrate the platelets and growth factors, and then injecting this concentrated solution into the tear troughs. These growth factors stimulate collagen and elastin production, enhancing skin thickness and elasticity. Additionally, PRP improves blood flow to the under-eye area, promoting better nourishment and healthier skin. The regenerative properties of PRP also aid in cell turnover and repair, helping to reduce pigmentation and improve overall skin texture. This treatment offers a safe, natural, and effective solution for achieving a more youthful and refreshed appearance without the need for surgery.
PRP therapy for under eyes involves using the patient’s own blood to rejuvenate the delicate skin beneath the eyes. The blood is processed to concentrate the platelets, which are then injected into the tear troughs.
During the procedure, a small amount of blood is drawn and spun in a centrifuge to separate the platelets. These concentrated platelets are then injected under the eyes, where they release growth factors that stimulate collagen production and cell regeneration.
