PRP Under-Eye Rejuvenation
A natural approach to brighter, smoother, more rested-looking eyes. Platelet-rich plasma drawn from your own blood, used to refresh the delicate periorbital area. PRP for the under-eye area is planned at a PRP consultation and is not listed separately on the online booking menu.

— Overview —
What It Is
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a concentrated source of growth factors derived from a small sample of your own blood. When delivered to the under-eye area, PRP supports collagen renewal, vascular health, and skin quality — addressing under-eye hollows, dark circles, and crepey skin with a natural, biology-driven approach. PRP can be used on its own or paired with other treatments, such as under-eye filler, based on your goals.
In our booking menu the first step is listed under Consultations as PRP Consultation. It is the entry point for every PRP treatment we offer, including the under-eye area, PRP hair restoration and PRP with microneedling. The consultation is complimentary, with no obligation to book.
— The Experience —
How It Works
- Blood Draw. A small sample of blood is drawn, similar to routine bloodwork.
- In-House Processing. The sample is processed through a centrifuge to isolate platelet-rich plasma rich in growth factors.
- Administration. PRP is administered to the under-eye area using techniques selected for the delicate periorbital tissue.
- Gradual Renewal. Improvements develop over the following weeks as the skin responds to growth-factor stimulation.
— Preparation —
How Your PRP Is Prepared
The material used in this treatment is made in the room, from you, on the day. After the draw, the sample is spun in a centrifuge to separate red blood cells from plasma, and spun again to concentrate the platelets within that plasma. The aim of the preparation is a platelet concentration several times higher than what circulates in your blood, because the platelets are where the growth factors live.
Preparation is done with sterile technique, the sample is kept cool so the platelets do not activate before they are placed, and the concentrate is used immediately rather than stored. There is no donor material and no synthetic filler in the syringe, which is the property that makes an allergic reaction to PRP itself extremely unlikely.
— Candidacy —
When PRP Is Not Offered
Because PRP depends on your own platelets, the conditions that rule it out mostly concern them. Treatment is not performed where there is a platelet or bleeding disorder, an active malignancy or current chemotherapy, or an active infection in the treatment area. Blood-thinning medication is reviewed carefully at consultation, since it changes both the quality of the concentrate and how the delicate under-eye tissue bruises.
One instruction surprises people: anti-inflammatory painkillers are avoided before and after treatment. The renewal response PRP relies on is inflammatory in mechanism, so medications designed to suppress inflammation work against the treatment itself. Your provider will tell you what to pause and when, based on what you actually take.
— The PRP Menu —
One Draw, Three Treatments
The same preparation supports three different treatments here, and the right one depends on where the concern lives. Under-eye rejuvenation, this page, is planned entirely at the PRP Consultation and is not listed separately on the online booking menu. PRP hair restoration delivers the concentrate to the scalp. Microneedling with PRP pairs the concentrate with medical microneedling across the face. Your provider confirms your treatment plan and price at the complimentary consultation.
The cadence differs by treatment too. Scalp work is planned as a short initial course, commonly three to four sessions about a month apart, with maintenance visits a few times a year afterwards, while facial PRP with microneedling follows the microneedling series it rides on. Under-eye plans are set individually, which is one more reason the consultation comes first.
It is honest to say the wider evidence base for PRP is still maturing: published protocols vary in how they prepare the concentrate and how many sessions they use, and no single standardized protocol has emerged. That is why candidacy, session count and expectations are set individually at consultation rather than quoted from a chart, and why results are described here as gradual rather than promised on a date.

Who It's For
Adults concerned with under-eye hollowing, dark circles, fine lines, or crepey skin who prefer a natural, biology-based approach. A consultation determines candidacy based on anatomy, expectations, and medical history. Pricing for PRP under-eye treatment is confirmed at your complimentary consultation, with no obligation to book.
— Aftercare & Results —
What to Expect After
Mild swelling, bruising, or pinpoint redness in the under-eye area is common and typically resolves within days. Cool compresses, gentle skincare, and sun protection support comfortable recovery. Results develop gradually over several weeks; multiple sessions may be recommended.
Your care, thoughtfully planned
Time to be heard.
Clarity at every step.
Tell us what matters to you, what you are unsure about, and what you want to understand before deciding. We make space for that conversation.
Your consultation is complimentary, with no obligation to book.
Consultation and treatment are separate reservations. If you want both on the same day, ask our team to reserve both. A consultation alone does not include a treatment slot.
Returning patients and package visits receive a focused progress review. A new concern or treatment plan may need a separate extended consultation.
Questions before or after your visit? Call (312) 426-2033.
01 / We listen and explain
Discuss your under-eye priorities, previous treatment and questions about the evidence and alternatives before considering a PRP plan.
You can bring questions, your current routine and details of prior treatments. Our team provides any intake or consent forms through the separate secure care system.
Ask us to explain unfamiliar terms or repeat anything. We review your priorities together before recommending a next step.
02 / We agree on your plan
We explain the proposed approach, alternatives, limits, relevant risks, expected recovery and the total cost before you decide. You can take time to think, ask for a staged plan or decide against treatment.
Questions we will work through with you:
- What would PRP aim to address in my particular under-eye concern?
- What should I understand about the evidence, limitations and other options?
- How would the blood draw, treatment and later review be arranged?
This page is a starting point for discussion. Our team confirms the next step, current availability and the appropriate booking option before scheduling care.
03 / You stay part of the conversation
If you proceed, your provider explains the steps and comfort options, confirms your agreement and checks in with you throughout. Let us know if you need a pause or more explanation.
The reserved visit includes the care around the procedure, not just active treatment. Preparation, treatment time and instructions vary by service. We confirm the appointment length before booking and discuss any change with you.
04 / Leave with clear next steps
Before you leave, we review your written instructions, what to expect next, which concerns need a call or urgent care, and how to reach the team. We invite you to talk through the plan in your own words so we can clear up anything that is uncertain.
Your take-home conversation includes:
- The preparation and aftercare instructions for any plan agreed at consultation.
- Whom to contact with questions about the draw or treated area.
- How progress would be assessed before deciding whether further treatment is worthwhile.
We discuss how to support your goals at home and when to review your plan. Where a treatment has a visible result, we explain what is known about maintenance without promising that a product, routine or extra treatment will make it last longer. Your next step follows your response and goals.
