The tear troughs are the grooves that start at the inner corner of your eyes and curve down under the eyes. As you get older, the tear troughs can lose volume and become deeper, creating sunken, tired-looking eyes. If you have noticeable tear troughs and want to refresh your eye appearance, come see us at LL Aesthetics. We offer PRP tear trough injections at our clinic in Miami Beach, FL.
What Are PRP Injections?
PRP stands for platelet-rich plasma, which are elements found in your blood. PRP injections have been used for decades as a medical treatment, but they are quickly becoming a routine cosmetic procedure for improving the appearance and health of the skin and other tissue. PRP contains growth factors that can stimulate collagen production and help repair the skin, resulting in more volume and improved appearance.
PRP is created by taking a sample of your blood. Once a syringe of blood is taken, it is sent through a centrifuge to spin out the platelets to create concentrated plasma. This plasma is purified and injected into the desired area, such as the tear troughs, to restore more volume and youthful skin.
What to Expect
If you want to reduce the appearance of deep tear troughs, PRP injections are performed at our office. We will prepare the PRP from your blood sample, which is usually completed in about 15-20 minutes. The injections can then be done, with the entire process taking as little as a half hour. PRP works like a natural filler, but the results do take time to appear as it stimulates the production of collagen. Some patients may need multiple treatments to achieve the desired results.
Tear troughs can be tricky to eliminate with traditional fillers since the skin is so delicate under the eye. PRP injections can create beautiful, natural-appearing results that last much longer than most fillers.
