PRP Under Eye Treatment - Botox, Injectables and Fillers

PRP Under-Eye Treatment

The Platelet Rich Plasma or Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRP or PRF) treatment is a natural, non-surgical treatment for fine lines and crepey skin under the eyes. The PRP/PRF treatment is a novel technique that allows the isolation and use of growth factors present in your own blood to enhance, accelerate, and stimulate cell regeneration. Injection of plasma, rich in growth factors, will stimulate the stem cells under the eyes to produce new collagen allowing the under eyes to regain lost elasticity and plumpness.

Clear away fine lines and crepey skin with this revolutionary treatment only done by FCP’s Double Board-Certified Dermatologist.

How does PRP/PRF under-eye treatment work?

After extracting a small volume of blood from the patient’s arm, it is centrifuged, and the platelet-rich portion of the blood is extracted: a “powerhouse” of growth factors. PRP/PRF must be done with a closed system and technique. The mechanically closed system prevents environmental contaminants from transferring to the product and/or device, as well as the accidental release of PRP/PRF outside of it. The PRP/PRF is then extracted into separate syringes. The plasma is injected underneath the eyes with a cannula, depositing the PRP/PRF evenly into the under-eye area. This technique is similar to that of under-eye filler, using plasma instead of filler. It should be noted that PRP/PRF treats fine lines and crepey skin while dermal filler treats hollows under the eyes.

What to expect when getting a PRP/PRF under-eye treatment.

At FCP Dermatology, we recommend PRP/PRF under-eye treatments to be performed in conjunction with the vampire facial to maximize the potential of the patient’s plasma in one session. We recommend a minimum of 3 treatments, spaced one month apart. Patients looking to achieve more dramatic results are advised to do a series of 6 treatments, one month apart.

Before the treatment – Attend your appointment well-hydrated to maximize the quantity of plasma extracted from the blood.

During the treatment – Your blood will be drawn and then spun with our state-of-the-art centrifuge technology. Once the plasma has been separated from the red blood cells, it will be extracted into syringes for injection. The PRP/PRF is then injected into the under-eye area using a cannula, which is a blunt-ended needle allowing for minimal discomfort and bruising.

After the treatment – Avoid anti-inflammatory drugs or blood-thinning medications such as aspirin, ibuprofen, and Advil for 24 hours. The PRP/PRF is a fluid injected under the eyes, which may appear puffy immediately after the procedure. This mild swelling will subside in less than 24 hours, and patients can return to their daily activities the next day.

Ongoing Care

At FCP Dermatology we are dedicated to the ongoing care of our patients to provide you with the best results possible.

Can PRP/PRF under-eye treatments be combined with other aesthetic treatments?

PRP/PRF under-eye treatments are done in conjunction with the vampire facial as part of an overall rejuvenation treatment. This treatment is not meant to replace under-eye filler treatments, which correct volume loss in the under-eye area. For best results, patients should also undergo filler treatments to treat volume loss and under-eye bags.

Are PRP/PRF results permanent?

PRP/PRF under-eye treatments produce new collagen which is permanent. However, our bodies continue to lose collagen over time. It is recommended to do maintenance treatments to maintain results.

We are here to help answer any PRP/PRF under-eye treatment-related questions you may have.

Is the PRP/PRF under-eye treatment an invasive treatment?

The PRP/PRF under-eye procedure is non-invasive, quick, and painless. Similar to under-eye filler, the PRP/PRF is deposited with a cannula which minimizes the risk of bruising.

Is there downtime after the PRP/PRF under-eye treatment?

Patients may appear puffy under the eyes immediately after the treatment, as the PRP/PRF is a liquid injected under the eyes. Swelling is typically mild and resolves in less than 24 hours, allowing patients to return to their daily activities the next day.

How often should I receive PRP/PRF under-eye treatments?

At FCP Dermatology, we recommend a minimum of 3 treatments, spaced one month apart. Patients looking to achieve more dramatic results are advised to do a series of 6 treatments, one month apart. We recommend PRP/PRF under-eye treatments to be performed in conjunction with the vampire facial to maximize the potential of the patient’s plasma in one session.
