The under-eye area is one of the first places to show fatigue, thinning skin, and dark shadows. Under-eye PRP, or platelet-rich plasma, offers a natural way to rejuvenate this delicate region using your own blood. At Lumiere Aesthetics, Dr. Elena Marchetti, MD, harnesses the growth factors in your platelets to improve skin quality, thickness, and tone around the eyes, an approach many guests appreciate because nothing synthetic is added.
What to Expect
The process begins with a simple blood draw, much like a routine lab test. We then spin the sample in a centrifuge to concentrate the platelet-rich plasma. After numbing the under-eye area, Dr. Marchetti carefully injects the PRP into the tear-trough region. The entire appointment takes about forty-five minutes to an hour, most of which is preparation. A series of treatments, typically three sessions spaced about a month apart, produces the best results.
Results
Because PRP works by stimulating your own tissue, results appear gradually as collagen and skin quality improve over several weeks. Guests often notice brighter, smoother, more refreshed under-eyes with reduced crepiness and a healthier tone. Results are natural and build gradually over the treatment series rather than appearing all at once. Maintenance sessions once or twice a year help sustain the improvement and keep the delicate under-eye area looking rested.
Good to Know
PRP addresses skin quality and texture rather than deep hollows; if significant volume loss is present, Dr. Marchetti may discuss carefully placed Juvederm filler as a complement. PRP also works wonderfully alongside microneedling for the face, and the same technology powers our Vampire Facial. Expect some swelling, bruising, or bumps under the eyes for a few days after each session. This gentle, natural treatment is a favorite for guests seeking a subtle refresh.
