Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy for the under-eye area involves injecting a concentration of an individual’s own platelets to stimulate collagen production and tissue regeneration. The subsequent recuperation period is characterized by a gradual reduction in post-treatment effects, such as swelling, redness, and bruising. This improvement follows a variable timeline dependent on individual physiology and procedural factors.
The appeal of utilizing PRP in aesthetic applications lies in its regenerative capabilities and its autologous nature, minimizing the risk of adverse reactions. Historically, PRP has been used in various medical fields, including wound healing and orthopedic surgery. Its application in cosmetic dermatology is relatively recent, offering a potential solution for concerns like dark circles, fine lines, and volume loss in the lower eyelid region.
