We have all heard the quote; “your eyes are like windows to your soul.” When you look at someone’s eyes you can gain a lot of information. Eyes express emotion, energy level, and oftentimes age. Eyes are often the first thing that is noticed when you first meet someone. What if I said I have something that can help with the overall appearance of your eyes? That is when platelet-rich plasma (PRP) comes in.

What is PRP?

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP), also sometimes called “liquid gold,” contains a concentrated amount of platelets that contain growth factors, which are important for healing and rejuvenation. You may have heard of it being used for professional athletes to help aid in the healing of various injuries such as knees, ankles, and tendons. However, over the years it has been increasing in popularity for its use in aesthetics such as for hair restoration and overall appearance of the skin. The PRP is obtained by taking a blood sample from the patient. The PRP is then extracted from the patient’s blood using a centrifuge. Once the platelet-rich plasma has been separated it is then injected into the areas of need.

How can this help your tired eyes?

When it comes to undereyes, also known as tear troughs PRP is a great treatment. Platelet-rich plasma stimulates collagen production and helps the overall appearance of the skin. It is a great treatment for a patient that has dark circles and puffiness. PRP can help a patients undereyes appearance anywhere from one to two years depending on the current skin condition. It is ideal for patients to do a series of three treatments, one every 4-6 weeks then maintenance approximately every 6 months.

Downtime?

Since we are using your own blood, there is no risk for allergic reactions. There is always a risk of bruising to the injection site and there will be swelling which typically resolves in 24 hours.
