PRP stands for Platelet-Rich Plasma. Firstly your skin will be cleaned and blood will be drawn from the arm in order to extract the platelets. Your blood will then be spun in a centrifuge to separate the plasma from the blood. When this plasma is injected into the skin, the growth factors within the plasma begin to stimulate new collagen production.
PRP Therapy for the Undereye
Gradually and naturally, volume loss that’s caused by the natural course of aging is reversed. Specifically, the under eye area is restored, resulting in a brighter, smoother, more youthful appearance. PRP Therapy under the eyes helps to tighten loose skin around the eyes, lessen the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and eliminate bags under the eyes..
As far as under-eye circles go, it is also the best known treatment to date for dark circles caused by hollowness or pigmented skin. The science behind the tratment is that the platelet-rich plasma will induce your under-eye area to create more collagen and blood vessels and thicken the skin there. In turn, you not only have new skin with a healthier structure but there will also be more flesh in between your blood vessels under your eyes and the skin of your face. Both of those things reduce the appearance of under-eye circles, which has been repeatedly proven in studies.
PRP Therapy for the Neck and Chest
Rejuvenate and stimulate the new collagen production to diminish the appearance of lax, crepey skin on the neck and fine lines on the chest.
