Reverse Signs of Aging
Rejuvenate your Eyes with a Few Injections
As you grow older, the gradual loss of collagen and elastin can make your facial skin look sallow and gaunt. The formation of deep tear troughs under the eyes can make you look tired and old. Genesis Lifestyle Medicine offers a personalized tear trough lightening procedure to stimulate natural collagen production and reverse the signs of aging.
Tear trough lightening is a minimally invasive procedure that involves injecting platelet-rich plasma drawn from your blood under the eyes. As you grow older, the regions under the eyes develop deep tear troughs because of the loss of collagen and elastin. But injecting platelet-rich plasma into the region catalyzes your body’s innate collagen production capabilities, thus reversing the effects of aging. Over time, your tear troughs look fuller, lighter, and more youthful.
How does tear trough lightening work?
Platelet-rich plasma is a component of your blood with a high volume of growth factors, which are responsible for most of your body’s innate healing properties. Tear trough lightening involves harvesting and purifying the PRP serum from a small sample of your blood. Once the PRP is drawn, it’s injected under your eyes. The growth factors in the PRP serum activate your body’s natural regenerative processes, leading to collagen and elastin production. Over time, the tear troughs fill out and look more youthful.
Tear trough lightening is a simple, 30-minute treatment. The medical provider draws a small sample of your blood from your arm. The blood sample is spun in a centrifuge to isolate the platelet-rich plasma from other blood cells. Once the PRP serum rises to the top of the vial as a golden-colored serum, it’s drawn into a syringe. The medical provider injects a total of 5mL of PRP under your eyes — 2.5mL under each eye.
The results of your tear trough lightening should start appearing after a few weeks once your body starts generating new collagen fibers. However, most patients need two treatments spaced 8 weeks apart for optimal results. Our medical provider will curate the ideal treatment plan for you after evaluating your skin and discussing your goals.
