1) Plasma Rich Protein (PRP)

2) Fillers

3) Morpheus8 for undereye

4) Topical Treatments

Plasma Rich Protein (PRP): Which stands for Platelet-Rich Plasma, is a medical treatment that involves using a patient’s own blood to promote healing and rejuvenation in the under-eye area. Here’s how PRP is typically used for under-eye rejuvenation:

  1. Blood Collection: A small amount of the patient’s blood is drawn, usually from the arm.
  2. Centrifugation: The collected blood is then placed in a centrifuge machine, which spins it at high speeds. This process separates the blood into different components, including red blood cells, white blood cells, and plasma.
  3. Extraction of PRP: The plasma, which is rich in platelets and growth factors, is extracted and prepared for the treatment.
  4. Application: The PRP is then applied to the under-eye area. This can be done through various methods, such as injections, micro-needling, or topical application, depending on the specific procedure chosen by the healthcare provider.

The platelets in PRP contain growth factors that stimulate collagen and elastin production in the skin. Collagen and elastin are essential proteins that help maintain skin’s elasticity and youthful appearance. When PRP is applied to the under-eye area, it can help with issues like dark circles, fine lines, and puffiness by promoting skin regeneration and improving circulation.

Filler of Undereye: Under-eye filler refers to a cosmetic procedure in which dermal fillers are injected into the area beneath the eyes to address various aesthetic concerns and improve the appearance of the under-eye area. This treatment is commonly used to address issues such as:

  1. Hollow or Sunken Under-Eye Appearance: As people age, they may experience a loss of volume and fat in the under-eye area, leading to a sunken or hollow appearance.
  2. Dark Circles: Under-eye fillers can help reduce the appearance of dark circles by filling in the hollow areas and creating a smoother transition between the lower eyelid and the cheeks.
  3. Fine Lines and Wrinkles: Fillers can also help diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles under the eyes by adding volume and plumping the skin.

The most commonly used dermal fillers for under-eye treatment contain hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body that helps hydrate and add volume to the skin. Some popular brand names of hyaluronic acid fillers include Restylane, Juvéderm, and Belotero. These fillers are injected by a trained healthcare provider into the targeted areas under the eyes to achieve the desired results.

Under-eye filler treatments are typically non-surgical and require minimal downtime. Patients can often resume their normal activities shortly after the procedure. Results are temporary and can last anywhere from several months to a year or more, depending on the type of filler used and individual factors.

Morphus8: Is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that combines micro-needling with radiofrequency (RF) technology to rejuvenate and tighten the skin under eyes.

Here’s how Morpheus8 works and how it may be applied to the under-eye area:

  1. Micro-Needling: Morpheus8 uses tiny, sterile needles to create micro-injuries in the skin’s surface. These micro-injuries stimulate the body’s natural healing response, leading to collagen and elastin production, which can improve skin texture and firmness.
  2. Radiofrequency (RF) Energy: In addition to micro-needling, Morpheus8 delivers controlled RF energy deep into the skin. This RF energy heats the tissue beneath the skin’s surface, further stimulating collagen production and helping to tighten and rejuvenate the skin.

When considering Morpheus8 for the under-eye area:

Topical Treatments: There are various topical creams and serums available with ingredients like retinol, hyaluronic acid, and peptides that can help improve the appearance of the under-eye area over time. These products are often used in conjunction with other procedures.
