Under Eye Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) Treatment
Revitalize Your Eyes with PRP Therapy
Under eye platelet rich plasma (PRP) therapy is a cutting-edge, minimally invasive treatment designed to rejuvenate the delicate skin around your eyes. PRP contains your body's own growth factors which regenerate tissue and stimulate collagen and elastin production to thicken and firm thinning skin.
Benefits of Under Eye PRP
- Natural Healing: Utilizes your body’s own platelets to stimulate collagen production and promote tissue regeneration.
- Reduced Dark Circles: Helps diminish the appearance of dark circles and shadows under the eyes.
- Minimized Fine Lines: Smooths out wrinkles and fine lines for a more youthful look.
How It Works
- Consultation: Your journey begins with a consultation to assess your individual needs and determine if PRP is right for you.
- Blood Draw: A small sample of your blood is taken.
- Platelet Extraction: The blood is processed in a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich plasma from other components.
- Injection: The PRP is then carefully injected into targeted areas under the eyes to promote healing and rejuvenation.
What to Expect
- Before the Treatment: You may experience mild discomfort from the blood draw and injections, but a topical anesthetic will be applied to to the under eyes to minimize any pain.
- During the Treatment: The procedure typically lasts about 30-60 minutes, depending on individual needs.
- Aftercare: Expect some mild swelling or bruising that usually resolves within a few days.
- Be patient: Most clients notice their full results within a month of their third treatment in their series as collagen production takes time.
- Maintenance: An initial series of three treatments is recommended spaced approximately a month apart. One maintenance treatment can be done 2-3 times a year depending on the individual's preferences.
Preparing for Your Appointment
To ensure the best results from your PRP treatment, consider the following preparations:
- Avoid Blood Thinners: Refrain from taking blood thinners (like aspirin or ibuprofen) at least 48 hours before your appointment to reduce the risk of bruising.
- Hydrate: Drink plenty of water before your appointment to help with blood draw and recovery.
