Under-Eye
PRP Injections
Your own plasma. Collagen stimulation. No synthetics.
How PRP Works
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) is a well-established regenerative treatment in aesthetic medicine. A small blood sample is drawn and centrifuged at high speed to isolate a concentrated plasma rich in growth factors and platelets.
When injected into the under-eye area, this plasma works at the cellular level to stimulate collagen production, improve microcirculation, and support tissue repair — gradually reducing dark circles and smoothing fine lines over several weeks.
PRP is a strong entry point for regenerative under-eye treatment. For patients who need more volume or longer-lasting results, we also offer PRF and PRF EZ Gel as upgrade options.
The Benefits
Collagen Stimulation
Concentrated plasma delivers growth factors that trigger new collagen production, gradually improving skin firmness and smoothness in the under-eye area.
Dark Circle Reduction
PRP improves microcirculation and supports cellular renewal in the under-eye area, which helps reduce the appearance of vascular and pigmented dark circles over time.
Autologous Safety
PRP is derived entirely from your own blood with no synthetic additives, eliminating the risk of allergic reaction or product rejection.
Under-Eye Concerns We Treat
Dark circles are caused by thinning skin, poor microcirculation, and visible blood vessels beneath the under-eye area. PRP stimulates collagen production and improves blood flow at the cellular level, gradually reducing the appearance of vascular and pigmented darkness. For patients with significant hollowing contributing to shadowing, PRF EZ Gel may be recommended for additional volume restoration.
The under-eye area is one of the first places to show fine lines due to its thin, delicate skin. PRP delivers concentrated growth factors that stimulate fibroblast activity and new collagen formation, gradually smoothing fine lines and improving skin elasticity. For deeper lines or crow's feet, combining PRP with Botox can address both texture and movement-based wrinkles.
As we age, the fat pads beneath the eyes thin and the orbital bone becomes more visible, creating a sunken or hollow appearance. PRP helps thicken the skin and stimulate tissue renewal. For patients who need immediate volume correction in the tear trough area, PRF EZ Gel functions as a natural bio-filler, or dermal fillers can provide more structural volume.
Chronic fatigue, stress, and aging can give the under-eye area a dull, tired look even with adequate sleep. PRP improves microcirculation and cellular turnover, brightening the under-eye area from within. The gradual, natural improvement makes you look more awake and refreshed without any visible signs of treatment.
The periorbital skin is the thinnest on the body — roughly 0.5mm — making it prone to transparency, veins showing through, and easy bruising. PRP stimulates collagen and elastin production to gradually thicken this delicate tissue. Unlike synthetic fillers, PRP is autologous (from your own blood), eliminating the risk of adverse reactions in this sensitive area.
Bruising from previous procedures, allergies, or chronic rubbing can leave residual pigmentation beneath the eyes. PRP supports cellular renewal and melanin regulation, helping to gradually fade post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. For patients with broader pigmentation concerns, our hyperpigmentation treatment options cover alternative and complementary approaches.
What to Expect
Post-Treatment Tips
Avoid touching or rubbing the under-eye area for 24 hours. Apply a gentle, fragrance-free moisturizer — avoid retinol and actives for 48 hours. Skip strenuous exercise, hot showers, saunas, and alcohol for 24 hours. Sleep with your head slightly elevated the first night. Apply SPF 30+ daily. Avoid blood-thinning medications (aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oil) for 48 hours unless medically necessary. Visit our post-care instructions page for full details.

How Many Sessions & How Often
Treatment plans are customized to your under-eye concerns and goals. Your provider will recommend the right number of sessions and appropriate interval during your consultation. For patients needing more volume or longer-lasting results, PRF or PRF EZ Gel may be recommended as an upgrade.
PRP Under-Eye vs. PRF Under-Eye
PRP and PRF are both autologous regenerative treatments derived from your own blood. The difference lies in how they're processed and how they deliver growth factors to the under-eye area. Understanding the distinction helps you and your provider choose the right option.
Which Should You Choose? PRP is the best starting point for patients new to regenerative under-eye treatments or those with mild to moderate dark circles and fine lines. PRF is an upgrade for patients who want stronger collagen stimulation with a longer duration of action. For patients who also need volume restoration (hollow tear troughs), PRF EZ Gel adds a bio-filler component. Your provider will recommend the right option during your consultation.

Questions
What to know before booking PRP Under-Eye Injections at ELLEMES.
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) is derived from your own blood. A sample is centrifuged at high speed to isolate concentrated plasma packed with growth factors. When injected under the eyes, it stimulates collagen production, improves microcirculation, and helps reduce dark circles over time.
Most patients see the best results with a series of 3 treatments spaced about 4–6 weeks apart. Initial brightness may be noticeable after one session, but collagen-building benefits continue to develop with each treatment.
Downtime is minimal. You may experience mild swelling or light bruising at the injection sites for 1–2 days. Most patients return to normal activities the same day. Because PRP uses your own blood, there is no risk of allergic reaction.
A subtle improvement in hydration may be visible within the first week. The full collagen-building effects typically become apparent within 3–6 weeks as new tissue forms. Results can last several months.
PRP is a liquid plasma that delivers growth factors quickly — best for skin texture and brightness. PRF is spun at a lower speed to retain a fibrin matrix, releasing growth factors more slowly for stronger collagen stimulation. PRF EZ Gel goes further by creating a thick, injectable bio-filler for immediate volume correction in addition to collagen stimulation.
Yes. PRP pairs well with Microneedling — remaining plasma can be used as a topical glide during the session for full-face collagen induction. PRP can also be combined with neuromodulators like Botox to address different aging concerns simultaneously.
Yes. PRP is autologous — made entirely from your own blood with no synthetic additives — making it safe for all skin types and tones with no risk of hyperpigmentation or allergic reaction.
Stay well hydrated the day before and day of your appointment to ensure a smooth blood draw. Avoid blood thinners like aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oil, or excessive alcohol for a few days prior to minimize bruising.
