PRP Under Eyes (+/- Microneedling)
PLATELET-RICH PLASMA (PRP) FOR UNDER-EYE REJUVENATION IN LONDON
From £250 per session
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) is prepared from your own blood and concentrated to isolate platelets rich in growth factors (PDGF, VEGF, TGF-β). When injected under the eyes, these signals can help stimulate fibroblasts, collagen, and microcirculation to support the delicate skin in this area.

How PRP works
1. Blood is drawn and spun in a centrifuge to concentrate PRP.
2. Platelets release growth factors → fibroblast stimulation → collagen and elastin production.
3. Under-eye injections target dermis → improve skin quality, hydration, and support.

TECHNIQUES WE USE
● Cannula Technique
Used for safety in high-risk vascular areas, allows even distribution with minimal trauma and reduced bruising risk.
● Micro-Droplet Technique
Tiny deposits placed with a fine needle in the dermis for precise targeting of crepey areas.
Best suited for patients with thin skin and fine wrinkles.
Choice of technique depends on your anatomy and consultation findings.

WHAT THE EVIDENCE SAYS
● Systematic reviews: modest but reproducible improvements in periorbital texture.
● Best outcomes: crepiness and fine lines, not pigmentation.
● PRP + microneedling: some studies show benefit; RCTs suggest mixed evidence.
● Mechanism: platelet-derived growth factor pathways → fibroblast signalling.

INDICATIONS WE CONSIDER
● Crepey under-eye skin
● Fine lines in lower eyelids
● Patients seeking gradual, natural improvement
When we don’t recommend it
● Hollow tear troughs/volume loss → fillers, fat grafting, or surgery preferred
● Pigment-dominant dark circles → other targeted treatments
● Unrealistic expectations or last-minute pre-event demands
● Fine lines in lower eyelids

SAFETY, SIDE EFFECTS & WHO ISN’T SUITABLE
● Common: swelling, redness, bruising, tenderness (24–72h)
● Rare/serious: infection, contamination, vascular compromise (requires expert injector)
● Not suitable if: skin infection, bleeding disorder, platelet dysfunction, unpaused anticoagulation, severe anaemia, pregnancy/breastfeeding, recent isotretinoin

TREATMENT PLAN & DOWNTIME
● Course: 3 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart, optional maintenance every 6–12 months
● Procedure time: 30–45 mins
● Downtime: swelling/bruising usually mild; makeup next day; avoid heat, saunas, intense exercise for 24h; SPF mandatory

AFTERCARE
● Avoid rubbing or touching treated area for 12–24h
● Sleep elevated first night to reduce swelling
● No makeup for 24h, then use mineral makeup if needed
● Avoid strenuous exercise, saunas, hot baths for 24h
● SPF 30+ daily around eyes
● Temporary bruising may be covered after 24h; arnica gel may be used if advised
● Report any unusual pain, vision changes, or excessive swelling immediately

PRP ALONE VS PRP + MICRONEEDLING
● PRP alone: preferred under-eyes for thin skin and targeted delivery
● PRP + Microneedling (£50 add-on): considered for patients with diffuse crepiness or combined facial treatment
● We don’t bundle the combo by default — only when evidence suggests benefit

ALTERNATIVES WE MAY DISCUSS
● Skin boosters: Sunekos, Jalupro, hyaluronic acid for hydration and ECM support
● Biostimulators: polynucleotides, Radiesse, CaHA for structure/collagen stimulation
● Energy devices: Tixel, RF microneedling, CO₂ lasers for tightening/texture

FAQ'S
What is PRP under-eyes?
Your own platelets concentrated and injected under the eyes to stimulate collagen and improve skin quality.
Which technique is used?
Either cannula or micro-droplet injections, chosen based on safety and anatomy.
How many sessions do I need?
Usually 3, spaced 4–6 weeks apart.
Can it remove dark circles?
Best for crepiness/texture; pigmentation-related dark circles need other treatments.
Is it safe?
Yes, when performed by a trained doctor under sterile conditions. Risks include swelling, bruising, rarely infection.

PRP vs PRF – What’s the Difference?
Both PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) and PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) are autologous (from your own blood) and aim to deliver platelets, growth factors, and regenerative cells into the skin or scalp.
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma)
- Prepared with anticoagulant and higher centrifuge speeds.
- Produces a clear plasma with concentrated platelets.
- Growth factors are released rapidly after injection.
- Evidence: widely studied in skin and hair; reviews show modest but reproducible improvements in texture, fine lines, and hair density in suitable patients.
PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin)
- No anticoagulant; spun at lower speeds.
- Forms a fibrin matrix that traps platelets, leukocytes, and circulating stem-cell-like cells.
- Growth factors are released more slowly and over a longer period.
- Evidence: early studies suggest PRF may provide a more sustained regenerative effect compared with PRP, but long-term head-to-head trials are still limited.
Which is better?
- Current evidence suggests PRP remains the most established with the largest body of clinical research, especially for skin and hair.
- PRF is emerging and biologically plausible for sustained release, but published human studies are fewer and results vary.
- Choice depends on your treatment goals, tissue quality, and clinician recommendation – both are offered at the same price in our clinic.
