PRP Eye Rejuvenation
If our eyes are the window to our soul, it’s understandable we want them to look their very best! Dark circles around the eyes, puffiness and pigmentation can easily make you look tired and aged. Eyes experience ageing before any other area of the face. So makeup and concealers can only hide so much. To restore a youthful look, addressing your eyes is your greatest opportunity! One of the best solutions available to rejuvenate the skin around the eye is PRP Eye Rejuvenation.
Administered by our experienced team of Cosmetic Nurses, PRP Eye Rejuvenation treatments work by harnessing the restorative power of your bodyโs natural nutrients.
Safe and effective, PRP therapy has been established for over 20 years and is used to treat a variety of conditions.

This natural treatment goes beneath the surface, to restore skin from within! Some people call PRP treatments a natural filler, but it does more than add volume to the skin. It repairs it. PRP stands for Platelet-Rich Plasma. This is a component of our own blood that is rich in white blood cells and growth factors. PRP can help regenerate and revitalise damaged tissue, ultimately improving the texture of the skin around the eye.
It can help address the following skin concerns around the eye;
- Hollowing under the eye
- Sagging or crepey skin
- Dark circles
- Puffiness or swelling
- Discolouration or pigmentation
How It Works
A sample of your blood is taken in-clinic, and spun in a special centrifuge for less than 10 minutes to separate itโs components. The enriched PRP is then injected into the skin around the eye, releasing several enzymes that promote healing and tissue responses. Attracting stem cells and growth factors.
These Growth factors are responsible for wound healing, tissue regeneration, collagen production, and vascular regrowth. Resulting in regeneration of natural collagen & elastin, resurfacing the skin around the eyes texture and improving overall discolouration, sagging skin, wrinkles and fine lines.
Our PRP Skin Rejuvenation treatment differs from other PRP treatments as it incorporates the healing properties of LED Light Therapy.

Aftercare
Your skin will feel warm and appear pink. Minor bleeding, swelling and bruising are common reactions to the treatment. These will reduce over the next 24-48 hours.
Until redness has resolved avoid the use of AHA or Vitamin A products, strongly scented lotions & soaps, shaving, waxing or plucking hair, exfoliation, excessive sweating, swimming or saunas, very hot showers and excessive amounts of alcohol.
To maintain the stimulation of growth factors in the PRP, it’s important to keep the treated areas at a regular body temperature. This includes taking lukewarm showers so the area is not too cold or not too hot.
Sleep on your back to avoid rubbing the skin. Sleeping with an extra pillow can also lift the head and help reduce swelling.
Over the coming days you may notice your skin becoming tight, dry, and tender.
For face treatments, gently massage the area with Arnica cream to help minimise swelling and bruising.
Avoid touching your face or the treatment area as this can lead to infection.
Do not book laser, skin or other cosmetic injectable treatments on any part of your face for at least 2 weeks after treatment.
Wait 2 weeks for Anti Wrinkle injections, and 4 weeks for Dermal Fillers.
For hair regeneration clients, avoid washing hair and using a hair dryer for 24 hours post treatment and avoid wearing hats. If you must wear a hat ensure it is new or clean to avoid infection.
LED Light Therapy immediately before or after treatment can help minimise the swelling and bruising as well as enhance your results!
Only use Velvet Co Mineral Makeup or other mineral based makeup after treatment.
If you experience prolonged redness, swelling, infection or any other disturbance to the treated skin contact your clinic. In rare cases of infection we recommend you contact your GP.

What areas can be treated with PRP?
How many treatments will I need?
This will depend on your individual situation. We recommend a course of 3 treatments, 3-6 weeks apart. Maintenance treatments are essential every 6-12 months for optimal long lasting results. Discuss your treatment plan with our Cosmetic Nurses during a complimentary consultation.
What are the side effects of PRP treatments?
PRP treatment is generally well tolerated. The most common side effects include; local irritation or redness and mild to moderate swelling.
Will results be immediate?
Following the procedure, you will likely experience swelling and other signs of inflammation. Once this has subsided, there may not be much visible change initially. Over a few weeks, the platelets will stimulate growth factors which will help assist in more collagen growth, elastin and new blood supply to the area. Individual results may vary.
