PRP (platelet-rich plasma) is used so much in medicine – whether it be orthopedic tendon repair, hair restoration, or facial collagen restoration, the results are significant. This picture shows PRP being utilized to stimulate collagen growth in the under eye area on a patient. Platelets in your blood help the body to repair itself through the release of growth factors. Growth factors then stimulate your cells to generate new collagen. The result of injecting PRP under the eyes is gradual and natural growth of your own collagen over a 2-3 month period. Two to three treatments are typically needed. This is a great option for patients that aren’t candidates for typical under eye fillers or patients not quite ready to take the plunge into the filler world just yet.
