Frequently Asked Questions
How does PRP help reduce dark circles under the eyes?
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) is a natural treatment that stimulates collagen production, improves skin texture, and enhances blood circulation. By injecting PRP under the eyes, the skin becomes firmer, more hydrated, and less pigmented, reducing the appearance of dark circles.
What causes dark circles under the eyes?
Dark circles can be caused by several factors, including:
- Thin skin and loss of collagen, making blood vessels more visible
- Poor circulation and fluid retention
- Genetics, which may lead to hyperpigmentation
- Lack of sleep, dehydration, and stress
- Allergies and sun exposure
Who is a good candidate for PRP under-eye treatment?
PRP is ideal for people with:
- Dark circles caused by thinning skin and poor circulation
- Mild under-eye hollowness or fine lines
- Tired-looking eyes with a dull or sunken appearance
- No severe pigmentation issues (PRP is less effective for genetic hyperpigmentation)
How many PRP sessions are needed to see results?
Most patients require 3 to 4 treatments, spaced about 4 to 6 weeks apart. Maintenance treatments every 6 to 12 months help sustain the results.
How soon will I see results from PRP for dark circles?
Some patients notice brighter, healthier skin within a few weeks, but full results typically appear after 3 to 6 months, as collagen production continues.
Is PRP under-eye treatment painful?
A topical numbing cream is applied before the procedure to minimize discomfort. Some patients may feel slight pressure or mild discomfort during the injections, but it is generally well tolerated.
Are there any side effects of PRP for dark circles?
PRP is a safe treatment with minimal side effects, since it comes from your own blood. Some temporary side effects include:
- Mild swelling or redness
- Slight bruising at the injection sites
- Temporary tenderness, which resolves in a few days
How does PRP compare to fillers for treating dark circles?
- PRP improves skin quality over time, making it a natural, long-term solution.
- Dermal fillers (like Restylane or Juvederm) add instant volume to under-eye hollows but do not improve skin texture.
- Some patients benefit from a combination of PRP and fillers for optimal results.
How long do PRP results last for dark circles?
Results typically last 12 to 18 months, with maintenance treatments recommended once or twice a year.
