PRP Tear Troughs

Why PRP Under Eyes?

PRP under eyes injections can help treat the darkened or sunken appearance of the eyes caused by genetics, aging, medical conditions, or other factors. Often to alleviate this appearance, patients seek out tear trough filler to fill out the area and provide a more awake and refreshed look. Many dermal filler options exist, but there is currently no dermal filler safe to use under the eyes that stimulates a powerful collagen response. Platelet rich plasma is a natural substitute to dermal fillers that help produce collagen in the tear troughs. PRP In Seattle is delighted to offer PRP tear trough injections to Seattle, Kirkland, Bellevue, and surrounding areas.

WHAT ARE TEAR TROUGH INJECTIONS?

Tear trough injections–including PRP injections under eyes—are a facial filling treatment that fill out the area, reduce hollowness, and dark circles under the eyes. Hollowing and dark circles in the tear troughs happen naturally as we age, occurs with weight loss, and due to genetic factors. As one of the first signs of aging to appear, patients can become distressed and may seek out injectable treatments.

PRP injection under eyes is a natural and effective method of filling in your under eyes. Seattle Plastic Surgery offers PRP for tear troughs in Seattle and the surrounding communities including Bellevue and Kirkland.

Can You Use PRP and Dermal Fillers Together?

Yes, PRP can be used in combination with dermal fillers such as Restylane and Juvederm. Dermal fillers will give you immediate results, while PRP will help your skin naturally produce collagen and fill in the tear trough area that can lead to more permanent results.

PRP is different from traditional facial fillers because it comes from your body and stimulates your body’s natural healing response. It helps increase the collagen and blood supply to the tear trough area contributing to a more youthful appearance.

WHAT IS PLATELET-RICH PLASMA (PRP)?

Platelet-Rich Plasma or PRP is a component of blood that aids the healing process of wounds. In any PRP treatment, plasma is drawn from your blood and spun in a centrifuge to isolate the PRP from the red blood cells and poor platelet plasma. Since PRP is plasma that is 5 to 10 times more platelet rich and contains more growth factors than normal blood, these platelets activate your body’s healing response and induce the growth of red blood cells and collagen to the injected area. Additionally, these proteins and growth factors send messages that alert your body to send white blood cells to the injection site.

How PRP Benefits The Tear Troughs

When PRP is injected into the tear troughs  the body naturally regenerates the skin under the eyes and helps to get rid of unwanted dark circles and hollowness. PRP is often used by athletes to help stimulate healing of injuries. Therefore, this powerful technology can translate to use for cosmetic purposes, such as filling in the tear troughs

PRP is different from traditional hyaluronic acid fillers because it comes from your body and stimulates your body’s natural healing response. Therefore, it increases collagen and blood supply to the tear trough area contributing to a more youthful appearance.

PRP is one of the newest procedures in regenerative medicine and the surgeons used for hair restoration, skin care, and injections. At PRP In Seattle, we are always working to enhance and improve our cosmetic and plastic surgeries and procedures.

While PRP for tear troughs can provide lasting results, most patients need more than one round of injections to find results they are happy with. Using our knowledge and experience of platelet rich plasma and how it works to produce collagen in the body, we have put together a treatment protocol of three to six sessions. This protocol has shown our patients the best possible results.

Outstanding results from PRP under eyes injections do not appear overnight. They require careful and precise care, which all of our PRP providers have trained extensively to develop. Gentle, steady hands and an artistic eye set our PRP tear trough injectors apart.

At your consultation, your provider will begin by asking about your facial concerns and goals for treatment. They will then examine the tear trough area and review your medical history to determine whether you are a candidate for PRP for tear troughs. If you are deemed a good candidate, it is likely your blood draw and PRP injection under eyes treatment will happen the same day as your consultation.
