Additionally, it can be a sign of an underlying health issue, such as allergies or lack of sleep, which can further exacerbate the frustration.

What is under-eye PRP treatment?

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) under-eye treatment, also known as Vampire Facial or Vampire Facelift, involves using the patient’s own blood to rejuvenate the skin under the eyes.

The treatment is gaining popularity due to its effectiveness in reducing the appearance of 下垂眼 [drooping eyes], dark circles, fine lines, and wrinkles.

The treatment involves taking a small amount of the patient’s blood, which is then spun in a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich plasma from the rest of the blood.

This concentrated plasma is then injected into the skin around the eyes, where it helps to repair damaged tissue and promote the growth of new cells.

The growth factors in the plasma also help to increase blood flow to the area, which can reduce inflammation and puffiness, and improve the overall appearance of the skin.

1. Reduces dark circles

It can improve the overall texture of the skin under the eyes, making it smoother and firmer.

4. Minimal downtime

The treatment is a non-surgical and minimally invasive procedure that requires minimal downtime.

Side effects of under-eye PRP treatment:

1. Bruising and swelling

4. Allergic reactions

In rare cases, patients may experience allergic reaction to the PRP solution or other components of the treatment.
