What is “Platelet Rich Plasma” (PRP)

Platelet Rich Plasma is a treatment that uses the patient’s own blood to biostimulate skin cells. It is also known as a “Vampire Facelift”

How does PRP work?

Injection of PRP into the dermis supports  and accelerates the process of tissue regeneration and reconstruction.

PRP activates the regeneration of the skin by:

The activated platelets release growth factors causing:

Stimulation of new collagen production

Induction of stem cell division and differentiation

Stimulating angiogenesis, the formation of new blood vessels in the skin

How is PRP performed?

The patient has consultation and photos and signs a consent form.

Blood is collected from the arm veins of a patient

The blood tubes are immediately centrifuged causing the separation of the platelets from the other cells.

The platelets are then drawn up into a needle and then reinjected into the patient immediately after  into the suitable areas

What areas are suitable for PRP?

Any skin on the face and body is suitable for PRP

Who is suitable for PRP?

Everyone is suitable (not pregnant or breastfeeding patients)

in particular;

* Those with tired and dry thin skin, lack of skin tension, uneven pigmentation

* Thos patients with signs of skin aging

* Those with increased risk for allergic reactions may choose to have PRP over any other injectable treatments

* Those who want the most natural treatment

Which areas are popular for PRP?

The face, eyes, neck, decolletage and chest are the most common areas for injection with PRP.

Why is it treating the eye area with PRP so popular:

The under eye area is a difficult area to treat. We are able to treat the dynamic smile lines with antiwrinkle injections, but the lines that are there under the eyes at rest won’t be helped with that. We can fill the tear troughs, which also won’t really help those under eye fine lines. Fractional laser in an option for this area, but injections are always more popular than ablative laser. So PRP is the best treatment, and we can cover the lower and upper eyelid with PRP. The PRP will help those fine lines and also thicken that crepey under eye skin

Results for PRP:

Improved skin colour, elasticity tone and thickness

Remodelling of the collagen fibres

long term smoothing of wrinkles and folds

Faster healing after aesthetic treatments

Protocol for PRP

2-3 treatments one month apart.

eyes 1 tube

face 2-6 tubes

decolletage and neck 6 tubes

after the first 3 treatments, treatment should be yearly at least. Or 6 monthly in an older patient

Side effects of PRP

Because the PRP is from the patient’s own blood, the side effects are minimal and include

Bruising (can be significant, especially around the eyes)

Swelling (again significant especially around the eyes)

Redness

PRP Under Eyes for Eye Hollows, Circles & Bags

If you’re dealing with under eye bags, hollows and/or dark circles, there’s actually some good news! Did you know that Platelet-Rich Plasma or PRP under eyes is one of the best treatments around to restore volume loss in this area? Plus, PRP injection under eyes can easily be included with your Vampire Facial treatment. So get set to put your eyes back in the spotlight again with PRP Under Eye Treatment. Here’s all you need to know:

What Is a PRP Under Eye Treatment? 

Platelet-Rich Plasma or PRP is a top treatment for regenerating skin from the inside out. It’s all because of the healing growth factors extracted from your own blood. Called “liquid gold”, these powerhouse proteins spark a strong process of repair, when injected under the skin. As a result, they support stem cell growth. They boost production of collagen and elastin. They encourage blood circulation to the area of treatment. Gradually and naturally, volume loss that’s caused by the natural course of aging is reversed. Specifically, the under eye area is restored, resulting in a brighter, smoother, more youthful appearance.

Am I a Good Candidate for PRP Under Eyes? Which Under Eye Treatment Do You Recommend?

PRP is great for certain eye concerns. That said, it depends on what eye issue/s you are trying to correct. Let’s drill down further:

PRP for Hollow Eyes / Sunken Eyes

The under eye area can appear hollowed out, because of volume loss as we age. PRP is highly effective for restoring sunken eyes.

PRP for Under Eye Bags / Puffy Eyes

If there’s bulging under the eye, volume loss can be the culprit here as well. Specifically, the fatty pads under the skin become more prominent in relation to the sunken areas. PRP will correct this by evening out the skin. However, if puffiness is due to fluid retention, we would recommend a treatment that encourages lymphatic drainage, such as an EndermoLift.

Plasma for Dark Circles Under Eyes

Discoloration here can be caused by two things. The first is hyperpigmentation, which can be the result of sun damage or genetics. If this is the cause of eye discoloration, PRP can help. However, our top treatment recommendation to treat dark circles under the eyes would be the Enerpeel System. 

The second cause of dark circles is volume loss. Basically, when there’s a hollow under the eye, it can cast a shadow in the area. PRP can reverse this volume loss, in order to minimize the shadow. 

Plasma Under Eye Wrinkles or Crow’s Feet

PRP can help plump the under eye area and diminish wrinkles at the corners of the eyes. However, generally speaking, we recommend Botox for anything more than superficial correction of smile lines here.

What is The PRP Under Eyes Price? How Much Does a Session Cost?

There isn’t a separate price for PRP under eyes, because we don’t recommend PRP solely for the eyes. Basically, PRP therapy requires a blood draw from you, followed by extraction of the highest quality growth factors from the plasma. In essence, you want to take full advantage of the healing factors that are captured. For this reason, we typically do a PRP eye injection in conjunction with PRP Face Treatment. As a result, you would be getting the full benefit of the PRP that’s been extracted from your blood.

PRP Under Eyes Before and After? What Results Can I Expect After a PRP Eye Procedure? How Long Does It Last?

How often to get a PRP eye procedure depends on the condition of your skin to begin with, as well as your treatment goals. Typically, we recommend having a PRP Facial Treatment that includes the eye area every three to six months. As result, it would maintain under eyes benefits including:

  • Smoothing and diminishing eye hollows 
  • Reversing the shadow that causes discoloration under the eyes
  • Restoring volume loss that results in protruding eye bags

For a longer lasting boost of volume, many clients return to Smooth Synergy at around the two week mark following treatment, in order to have a dermal filler under the eyes.

We recommend injecting PRP under eyes. Microneedling with PRP under eyes is not recommended. However, the practitioner can microneedle around the eyes, in order to restore the areas adjacent to the under eye area. 

Are There Any PRP Under Eyes Side Effects?

The eye area is fragile and delicate, so it’s understandable that people are concerned about PRP recovery. That said, PRP is extracted from your own blood, so no foreign substance enters the body. What this means is side effects are typically minor.  Immediately following treatment, the area may flush or appear read, which usually subsides within three days. Mild tingling, soreness and swelling after PRP injection may occur for up to three days. Bruising, particularly at injection sites, may last for several weeks.

How often should I do PRP under eyes?

The PRP is injected into the under-eye. For best results, you may require two to three treatments, 2-3 months apart. Little to no risk of intolerance or allergy due to it being your own blood.

How long does PRP last for eyes?

For many patients, PRP injections will improve one's under-eye appearance for anywhere between one to two years, depending on the patient's current skin condition (and severity of concerns) and one's age.

Does PRP under eyes last?

2. The effects last. Depending on your skin and your body, this process can leave you with better looking skin for anywhere between 12 months to two years. With some products, age is a factor in how well it works, but PRP has been shown to work on people of all ages.

Is PRP worth it for under eye?

Plumper skin can fill out dark hollows and make them less noticeable while also making your skin firmer and thicker. PRP can also encourage the growth of blood vessels which can wash away fluid that can cause eye bags, while also making existing blood vessels more elastic and less prone to breaking and bruising.
