Collagen Treatment Under the Eyes PRP
Whats is the PRP Under the Eyes treatment?
It is a non cosmetic procedure, but rather a medical procedure. In this we use the PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) technology meaning we make use of your own blood plasma which is then injected into the skin area to treat.
PRP is an effective treatment for the under-eye area as it increases blood vessel growth and strengths collagen promoting a refreshed and youthful appearance. New blood vessels in the under-eye area allow nutrients and oxygen into the skin, resulting in a decrease of puffiness and loose undereye skin is tightened.
Unlike fillers PRP simply encourages your skin to heal itself by generating collagen, elastin, and natural hyaluronic acid.
With this procedure we can repair and rejuvenate the delicate tissue around the eyes to reduce eye bags and circles, and create a lifting effect for hooded lids.
What does the Treatment Involve?
After a consultation with our Aesthetic Consultant, you will be booked for your treatment sessions. On the day of the treatment your practitioner will draw your blood, this is done in a similar way to when you have blood taken for testing at the doctor’s office. The blood will then be spun in a centrifuge to separate the platelet plasma from the red blood cells.When the platelet plasma is injected into the skin, the platelets release their growth factors. The growth factors stimulate other cells surrounding the injection site, plumping them up and causing them to increase in volume.

How many treatments are needed?
1 Injection every 4 weeks, for 3 month. Maintenance may be required every 6 to 12 months.
When will I see results ?
You will notice an improvement after 1 week but most noticeably within 3 weeks. The dark circles under your eyes will appear lighter as we repair and rejuvenate the delicate tissue around the eyes. You will see a slight lifted effect if you have hooded eyelids.
How Long does the results last?
How long will it take to recover from a PRP treatment?
The actual procedure of injecting the PRP involves the use of topical anaesthetic, although not always depending on the patient and area being treated, rather than local or general anaesthetic, meaning that most patients feel comfortable returning to their normal activities not long afterwards. It is important to be aware that due to there being many injections at the treatment sites, the areas can look swollen, bumpy and red post treatment and these effects can last for a couple of days so it is best to have some time to recover.
What are the risks and potential complications from PRP treatments?
Fortunately there are few to no side effects on the fine skin surrounding the eyes. After the procedure, you can expect some bruising, swelling and redness at the injection sites. You may also experience some tenderness, bruise and pain at the injection sites. However, any side effects should dissipate within a few days following the procedure.
What should you do after a Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy treatment?
It is very important that you follow the advice of your practitioner following treatment. Post-treatment advice could include:
The use of cold compresses to treat swelling in the treated area, as recommended
Avoid touching and applying any cream or make up for 24 hrs after the treatment to prevent risk of infection.
Most patients will be able to go straight back to their normal regime following treatment, but if you experience any tenderness or pain at the treatment site, you should take extra care when washing and caring for your skin in the days following the PRP therapy.
Who should NOT have a Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy treatment?
To undergo PRP therapy, you should be in general good health and you should have realistic expectations of the outcome. Most people are suitable candidates for PRP therapy, and it is recommended as a safe treatment for individuals who are unable to undergo more invasive procedures such as a full face lift, due to the risks associated with general anaesthetic (although it will not achieve the same results as a surgical face lift).
Individuals with platelet dysfunction syndrome, critical thrombocytopenia, hypofibrinogenaemia, haemodynamic instability, sepsis, acute & chronic infections and chronic liver pathology are not suitable candidates for PRP therapy. Those undergoing anti-coagulant therapy are also not suitable candidates.
What are the risks and potential complications from PRP treatments?
There are few side effects associated with Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy. Immediately after the procedure, you can expect some bruising, swelling and redness at the injection sites. You may also experience some tenderness, bruise and pain at the injection sites. However, any side effects should dissipate within a few days following the procedure.
