Some of the most noticeable signs of aging, stress, exhaustion or poor health appear under our eyes first. From puffiness and dark circles to crow’s feet, loss of volume, the sensitive skin in the undereye area often bears the brunt of aging.
If you are looking for an alternative to under eye filler, which has its own risks, and a more natural and safe approach to addressing dark circles, thinning of skin, volume loss of collagen, PRP is a great option.
That was before Platelet-Rich Plasma – PRP for short - changed everything in the realm of aesthetic medicine, including the hard-to-treat undereye area. PRP is regenerative medicine at its best.

PRP is an advanced medical aesthetic treatment that utilizes your own blood plasma to tap into your body’s natural healing abilities. PRP Under Eyes Treatments utilize, specifically, the platelets in the blood to rejuvenate the undereye area.
PRP Under Eyes Treatment involves three simple steps:
A small amount of the patient's blood is drawn.
The patient’s blood is centrifuged to concentrate the platelets, forming platelet-rich plasma (PRP).
The PRP is injected into the under-eye area.
If the word injection gives you pause, rest assured that a topical anesthetic can be used to minimize any mild discomfort you might experience. Our FDA-cleared PRP Under Eyes Treatment employs PRP injections that can only be administered by a licensed and trained medical provider
Your blood plasma contains natural growth factors to signal collagen and elastin production. By taking this plasma, rich with platelets after being centrifuged, and injecting it back into your skin, the results are transformative. You will experience smoother, refreshed, brighter-looking skin with this profound, minimally invasive treatment.
The benefits of PRP Under Eyes Treatment include skin rejuvenation – improving both texture and elasticity, while reducing fine lines and wrinkles. Loose skin is tightened, reducing the appearance of undereye “bags,” while dark circles are often reduced or even eliminated.
Some of the top benefits of PRP when it comes to the skin on your face, including the undereye area, include:
It is a simple minimally invasive treatment, safe for all skin types, with little to no recovery time. With a quick treatment time – from 30 to 60 minutes – it can be performed during your lunch hour.
PRP Under Eyes Treatment has an excellent track record and has brought profound results for many of our patients in the Alexandria VA area.
Most of us have heard of PRP injections used in the knee in lieu of knee replacement. PRP has many applications in both orthopedic and aesthetic treatments.
When it comes to other aesthetic concerns, if you are wanting to improve acne scars, dull skin, or any other facial skin challenges, in particular, PRP has delivered stunning results for many of our patients in the Alexandria VA area.
At your consultation, we will take a full medical history and evaluate the other aesthetic options you've tried for the skin under your eyes. Our physicians will ask and answer questions and determine together with you if you would be a good candidate for PRP Under Eyes Treatment.
If you’ve tried other treatments that have not given you the results you seek, then you probably are a good candidate for PRP Under Eyes Treatment.

PRP injections work by stimulating the body's natural healing process, as well as elastin and collagen production. PRP is recognized for its ability to rejuvenate and repair damaged or aging skin. The results are all-natural and gradual.
Results can vary, but most people see improvements within a few weeks following their initial PRP undereye procedures. Results will depend on the original condition of the skin and the severity of damage. It may take months to realize the full benefit of PRP, as improvement continues over time.
During your PRP Under Eyes Treatment session, your blood will be drawn and centrifuged to create your own PRP. The injection site will be thoroughly cleaned, then a small needle will be used to inject your PRP into your treatment area. The process can be repeated if you have multiple areas we need to treat.
At your first session, you will speak with one of our PRP Under Eyes Injection specialists to develop a personalized treatment plan and review any concerns or questions you may have. Treatments generally require no more than one hour, but your first session may last longer as we collect your medical information.
Some recommend starting with a series of 1-3 sessions. The number of sessions you will need to see the results you desire will depend upon the severity of your undereye condition and how your body responds to PRP. Every patient’s response is unique. And repeat anytime you need.
PRP Under Eyes Treatment has an excellent safety profile. However, if you have blood clotting disorders, anemia, or cancer, or if you have skin cancer, open wounds, sores or irritated skin in the treatment area, PRP Under Eyes Treatment may be contraindicated.
PRP Under Eyes injections may not be right for you if you have certain allergies (e.g., to stainless steel), hemostatic (bleeding) dysfunction, are taking certain medications, or have other specific medical issues. We will discuss all of your safety concerns at our first session before proceeding with treatment.
These treatments provide little to no discomfort because of the use of local, topical anesthetic. It is normal for some especially sensitive patients to experience mild pain, swelling and soreness following a treatment session, but it should only be temporary and can be managed with rest and over-the-counter pain medication.
While you may experience some swelling, soreness or redness – even possible bruising - at the injection site, these effects are only temporary. In general, PRP Under Eyes has minimal to no side effects. We have many patients who experience no side effects at all.
