Fine Eye Lines
One of the most common concerns amongst patients is the fine lines underneath their eyes. As we age, the skin underneath the eye becomes very delicate and thin, resulting in fine eye lines, crepiness and darkness underneath the eye.
It is a difficult area to address as it is the skin layer itself has lost elastin and collagen. It is not muscle related therefore anti-wrinkle injections are ineffective, and because the problem is so superficial (skin layer), dermal filler is not effective or safe to use in this region either.
Platelet Rich Plasma
Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) is becoming increasingly popular to treat fine lines underneath the eye. PRP is made from your own blood. Prior to treatment a blood sample is extracted from the arm of the patient. The blood is then immediately placed in a centrifuge. When centrifugation is complete your Platelet Rich Plasma is separated from your Red Blood Cells and the PRP component is then injected into the dermis of the skin.
