PRP Under-Eye Restoration
Stimulate your own collagen beneath the eyes, to thicken thin skin, smooth crepey texture, and soften dark circles.
What is PRP Under-Eye Restoration?
PRP under-eye restoration injects your own platelet-rich plasma into the delicate tear trough. Synthetic dermal fillers cover a structural problem with volume; PRP instead prompts local cellular repair, so the thin skin under the eye genuinely thickens, firms, and brightens.
Primary Concerns Addressed
Dark Circles
Thicker skin under the eye means the bluish vessels pooling beneath it show through less. It also improves microcirculation, which helps prevent fluid gathering there.
Crepey Skin and Fine Lines
Concentrated growth factors prompt local collagen and elastin production, smoothing static crinkling, fine lines, and crow's feet.
Mild Hollowness
It will not plump on the spot the way a hyaluronic acid filler does. What it does is rebuild healthier tissue layers, restoring volume from within, subtly.
Key Benefits vs. Dermal Fillers
Zero Risk of Migration
PRP is a natural liquid your body absorbs completely, so it cannot shift, migrate, or produce the puffy overfilled look that synthetic fillers sometimes cause.
No Tyndall Effect
Hyaluronic acid fillers can throw a bluish, unnatural cast under thin skin. Your own clear-yellow plasma avoids that entirely.
High Biocompatibility
Because the sample is your own blood, allergic reaction, foreign-body granuloma, and delayed sensitivity are effectively off the table.
Trying to choose a route? We can compare PRP against PRF (platelet-rich fibrin) for the under-eye area in your particular case, or send you a checklist of pre-appointment restrictions that lower the risk of bruising. Book an appointment with us for PRP under-eye restoration.
What to Expect: Cost & Timeline
Knowing the whole arc (the procedure, the cost, recovery, and how long results hold) makes expectations easier to set.
The Process
Blood Draw & Preparation
A clinician draws 1 to 4 vials of blood, spins them down, and places the isolated plasma into the tear trough with either a fine needle or a blunt-tipped cannula.
Financial Investment
Average Cost
Sessions average between $500 and $2,000. Most providers suggest starting with three, four weeks apart, to get the most tissue remodelling.
Downtime & Recovery
Social Downtime
Social downtime runs about 2 to 4 days. Expect moderate local swelling (slightly puffy, a bit allergic-looking) and possibly light bruising while the fluid absorbs.
Longevity
Results Timeline
Results build over 1 to 3 months as the new collagen matures. Once the initial series is done, the improvement generally holds for 12 to 24 months before annual maintenance is worth considering.

Treatment Options and Pricing
Single-Shot PRP Package ($2,499)
An all-inclusive option: one targeted PRP injection, a full physician-led evaluation with Dr. Andrew Vargas, and a 15-minute follow-up afterwards.
PRP Bundle Savings ($6,500)
Three separate PRP treatments as a bundle. It saves $1,000 against buying them individually, and matches the clinical recommendation of three sessions for proper collagen stimulation.
Silver Aesthetic Package ($1,499.99 – $1,699.99)
If you want to push the result further by tightening the skin around the eyes, this pairs full-face Morpheus8 radiofrequency microneedling with a West Portal Special IV and a topical PRP application afterwards, to support recovery and collagen production.
Clinical Approach
Comfort matters here, so we numb topically before the fine-needle injections, which makes the procedure essentially painless. We generally suggest a foundation of three sessions, 4 to 6 weeks apart, to smooth under-eye crepiness and build tissue density that lasts.
