PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) under eye treatment is a cutting-edge procedure that targets the delicate under eye area to address common concerns such as dark circles, fine lines, and puffiness. This non-surgical treatment utilizes the power of your body’s own platelets to rejuvenate and revitalize the skin, providing a more youthful and refreshed appearance.
What Is PRP Under Eye Treatment?
PRP under eye treatment, also known as PRP therapy or vampire facial, is a cosmetic procedure that involves using the patient’s own blood to extract platelet-rich plasma. This plasma is then carefully injected into the under eye area to stimulate natural healing and regeneration.
How Does PRP Under Eye Treatment Work?
The treatment begins with a simple blood draw from the patient, similar to a routine blood test. The blood is then processed in a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich plasma from other components. The resulting plasma is rich in growth factors and proteins that promote tissue repair and collagen production.
How Is the Treatment Administered?
Before the PRP under eye treatment, the under eye area is cleansed and a topical numbing cream may be applied to ensure comfort during the procedure. The platelet-rich plasma is then injected into the targeted areas using a fine needle or a microcannula. The injections are performed by our Pharmacist Independent Prescriber who understands the precise techniques for optimal results.
Are There Any Side Effects of PRP Under Eye Treatment?
PRP under eye treatment is generally considered safe and well-tolerated. However, as with any medical procedure, there may be some temporary side effects, including:
- Mild swelling: Some swelling around the injection sites is normal and usually subsides within a few days.
- Bruising: Minor bruising may occur, but it is typically minimal and resolves quickly.
- Discomfort: Patients may experience mild discomfort during the injections, but it is generally well-managed with the use of numbing cream or local anesthesia.
It’s important to follow the aftercare instructions provided by the practitioner to minimize any potential side effects and promote optimal healing.
What Are the Benefits Of PRP Under Eye Treatment?
PRP under eye treatment offers a range of benefits for the under eye area:
- Dark circle reduction: The growth factors present in PRP help improve blood circulation and promote collagen production, leading to a reduction in dark circles and a brighter, more vibrant appearance.
- Fine line and wrinkle improvement: The rejuvenating effects of PRP stimulate collagen and elastin production, helping to diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes.
- Skin texture enhancement: PRP can improve the texture of the skin, making it smoother and more supple.
- Natural and long-lasting results: Since PRP utilizes the body’s own regenerative abilities, the results are natural-looking and can last for several months.
