PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma)

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) undereye injections involve using the patient's own platelet-rich plasma to address concerns such as dark circles, puffiness, and fine lines under the eyes. Here are some frequently asked questions (FAQs) about PRP undereye injections:

What are PRP undereye injections?

PRP undereye injections involve injecting platelet-rich plasma, derived from the patient's blood, into the undereye area to address specific concerns such as dark circles, puffiness, and fine lines.

How does PRP undereye treatment work?

The procedure begins with drawing a small amount of the patient's blood. The blood is then processed to extract platelet-rich plasma, which is injected into the undereye area. PRP stimulates collagen production and promotes rejuvenation.

What concerns can PRP undereye injections address?

PRP undereye injections can address various concerns, including dark circles, puffiness, fine lines, and overall skin rejuvenation in the undereye area.

Is PRP undereye treatment painful?

The procedure is typically well-tolerated. A topical anesthetic or numbing cream may be applied before the injections to minimize any discomfort.

How long does a PRP undereye treatment session take?

The duration of a PRP undereye treatment session is relatively quick, often taking around 30 to 60 minutes, including the time needed for blood processing.

How many PRP undereye sessions are needed for optimal results?

The number of sessions required can vary based on individual concerns and goals. Multiple sessions spaced several weeks apart may be recommended for optimal results.

Is there any downtime after PRP undereye injections?

There is typically minimal downtime. Some individuals may experience mild swelling or bruising, but these effects are generally temporary and resolve within a few days.

When will I see results from PRP undereye treatment?

Results can vary, but many individuals notice improvement in undereye concerns within a few weeks to months after the initial treatment. Continued improvement may occur over time.

Can PRP undereye treatment be combined with other procedures?

Yes, PRP undereye treatment can be combined with other procedures such as dermal fillers or laser therapy to enhance overall results.

Are PRP undereye injections safe?

When performed by a trained and qualified healthcare professional, PRP undereye injections are considered safe. It's crucial to follow recommended guidelines for pre and post-treatment care.

How long do the results of PRP undereye treatment last?

Results can last for several months to a year. Maintenance sessions may be recommended to sustain the benefits over time.

Who is a suitable candidate for PRP undereye injections?

PRP undereye injections are suitable for individuals with concerns such as dark circles, puffiness, and fine lines in the undereye area. A consultation with a healthcare professional can determine suitability.

The purpose of this consent form is to provide written information regarding the risks, benefits and alternatives of treatment to PRP. This material serves as a supplement to the discussion you have with your Crawford Cosmetics provider. It’s important that you fully understand this material, so please read this information thoroughly. If you have any questions regarding the procedure, ask your Crawford Cosmetics provider prior to signing this consent form.

TREATMENT GOALS AND DESCRIPTION OF PROCEDURE PRP is an acronym for Platelet-Rich Plasma. PRP injections are a type of facial rejuvenation treatment used to help improve the look of aging skin. This platelet-rich plasma is made by taking a blood sample from the donor, containing red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets that release growth factors. These growth factors, when injected into the face, stimulate collagen production, providing an anti-aging effect on the facial appearance. Puffiness and discoloration around the eyes are less visible with as little as one treatment. While the results are not permanent, these injections can help patients looking for a more long-term option when it comes to looking youthful and refreshed.

TREATMENT RESULTS Most patients are pleased with the results of their Under-Eye PRP treatment.

However, like any aesthetic procedure, there is no guarantee that you will be completely satisfied. I acknowledge that while good results are expected, I may be disappointed with the results of the procedure. I understand there is no guarantee of results of any treatment. Even though appropriate measures are taken to reduce side effects, they cannot be completely eliminated in every case. I understand that the treatment may involve risks of complication or injury from both known and unknown causes. I agree to follow the pre- and post-treatment instructions carefully. I understand that compliance with the recommended pre- and post-procedure guidelines is crucial for healing and reducing the risk of complications.
