Benefits
PRP injections involve using your own blood components, specifically the platelet-rich plasma, to rejuvenate the skin when injected into the face or under-eye area. It's a natural and minimally invasive cosmetic procedure.
PRP contains growth factors that stimulate collagen production and improve blood flow. When injected into these areas, it can reduce fine lines, wrinkles, and dark circles while promoting smoother, more youthful-looking skin.
Yes, PRP injections are generally considered safe when performed by a trained healthcare professional. Since it uses your own blood, there is minimal risk of allergic reactions or infections.
The procedure involves drawing a small amount of your blood, processing it to isolate the PRP, and then injecting it into the targeted areas using fine needles. You may experience some discomfort, but it's usually well-tolerated.
