Tear Trough Filler Bellevue: Why PRP Works For Under Eye Filler

By Dr. Craig Jonov | Platelet Rich Plasma, PRP Injections

PRP injections–first used to treat soft tissue injuries–have become an up and coming filler option. Platelet rich plasma induces the production of collagen which can lead to a more natural look. The most common use of PRP injections as filler is as under eye filler. Prior to trying PRP for tear troughs, patients often wonder if it works. Here are reasons why PRP works for under eye filler.

When injected, PRP triggers the healing response in your body. This heightened healing response means that your body sends its defenses to rebuild skin and tissue in the area. However, because there is not a major injury, it works as filler to give the under eyes a boost. This can contribute to looking less tired and filling in eye bags.

Next, PRP comes from your own body. Therefore, the chances of rejection or a reaction to the filler is minute and nearly unheard of. For patients who have had reactions to dermal fillers or who want a wholly natural option, PRP is an option that uses your own bodily functions to provide under eye enhancement.

Finally, PRP has proven effective as a therapeutic treatment and in the treatment of hair thinning. To schedule a consultation, call us at 206-279-2112 or contact us online.

Non-Cosmetic Uses Of PRP Injections

By Dr. Craig Jonov | Platelet Rich Plasma, PRP Injections

At PRP In Seattle, we use PRP injections for cosmetic treatments such as to fill in the tear troughs or hair restoration. However, platelet rich plasma is used widely throughout the medical field for a variety of purposes. In fact, the non-cosmetic uses of PRP injections were the first discoveries of PRP’s effectiveness in the medical field.

One of the most common non-cosmetic uses of PRP injections comes in the treatment of soft tissue injuries such as Achilles tendon, rotator cuff, and tendonitis. Injections of platelet rich plasma can speed up the healing process and the amount of regenerative cells your body produces. PRP injections may also reduce pain during healing.

PRP injections are a frequent treatment in sports medicine to aid in the quick recovery of athletes. When treating soft tissue injuries, PRP can sometimes reduce the need for pain medication and lead to a quicker, more comfortable recovery.

In more recent years, PRP’s use in cosmetic procedures has increased significantly. Platelet rich plasma’s effectiveness in producing reparative cells in the body means that it can have many cosmetic benefits such as stimulating hair growth and increasing collagen production.

Are There Side Effects Of PRP Injections?

By Dr. Craig Jonov | Hair Restoration, PRP Injections

PRP injections, or platelet rich plasma injections, have many cosmetic and therapeutic uses. Patients often worry about the side effects of the injections prior to treatment and ask: are there side effects of PRP injections? Like with any medical treatment, PRP injections do come with side effects that may affect some patients.

Any injection–whether a routine vaccine or BOTOX–can cause side effects like swelling, pain, or redness. Usually, these side effects are minor and clear away within a day or two. The most commonly experienced side effects after PRP injections are these same minor ones.

For patients who undergo PRP hair restoration, they may experience tightness in the scalp and redness similar to a sunburn. This is because patients receive a large amount of injections at once and the treatment takes place in a relatively sensitive area.

One of the biggest advantages of PRP is that allergic reactions are extremely rare, if not impossible in most patients. Since PRP is derived from a person’s own blood, the body does not view it as a foreign substance.

Benefits Of PRP For Tear Troughs

By Dr. Craig Jonov | PRP Injections

Platelet rich plasma treatments began as injection therapies for injuries and certain painful medical conditions. These PRP therapies are still used to treat chronic ailments like arthritis today. However, PRP injections have cosmetic benefits as well.

One of the most common cosmetic platelet rich plasma treatments is PRP for tear troughs. The tear troughs are the under eye area where skin naturally thins and which can look tired due to genetic predisposition. A qualified injector will strategically inject PRP into the under eyes to give it a rejuvenated appearance.

Many patients turn to dermal fillers to rejuvenate this area, and fillers are a fantastic option. In some patients, filler can cause a blue tinge to the under eyes known as the Tyndall effect. It can have many causes, but thin skin in the area is the most likely cause. While this does not happen often, for patients who experience this, filler is not the optimal option.

There are many benefits of PRP for tear troughs. For example, PRP for tear troughs should not cause the Tyndall effect and it aids your body in producing collagen. This can treat thin skin and lead to a naturally rejuvenated under eye. PRP for tear troughs is a natural way to fill the under eye and may eventually lead to fewer touch ups as collagen latches in the area.

PRP BBL: Does It Work?

By Dr. Craig Jonov | PRP Injections

As more and more non-surgical alternatives for traditional plastic surgeries become viable and available, these non-surgical options continue to be revolutionized. PRP In Seattle offers a non-surgical Brazilian butt lift that utilizes platelet rich plasma to promote collagen production in the buttocks. It works just like and uses many of the same materials as a traditional non-surgical BBL.

At PRP In Seattle, our plastic surgeons often combine PRP derived from your blood and mix it with Sculptra, ACell, and/or donated placenta cells. This unique combination provides some immediate augmentation, but they also stimulate collagen production. This new collagen can cause long lasting volume and promote results for months following the procedure.

Many patients ask, “Does it work?” In our experience, we find that many patients find good results after a non-surgical Brazilian butt lift with PRP. Every patient’s body will respond slightly differently and patient’s will naturally see varying results. Your metabolism and lifestyle greatly affect your results. Additionally, you should follow your plastic surgeon’s instructions carefully to promote the best and longest lasting results.

Recovery After A Non-Surgical BBL In Seattle

By Dr. Craig Jonov | Platelet Rich Plasma, PRP Injections

A non-surgical Brazilian butt lift does not require surgery or general anesthesia. However, it does necessitate a short recovery period and some instructions to promote the best results. Your plastic surgeon will make sure you understand the instructions for your recovery after a non-surgical BBL.

Firstly, you will need someone to drive you home after the procedure. Some patients choose to take an oral sedative, which impairs their senses enough that they are unfit to drive. Even if no sedative is taken, patients should not drive as it may be uncomfortable immediately following the procedure.

Secondly, you should refrain from sitting on your buttocks for at least 24 hours. Your plastic surgeon can provide the ideal timeline based on your procedure. It takes time for the PRP, filler, or other components to settle and sitting could cause them to become misplaced.

Thirdly, some side effects from the injections are expected and normal. These can include: swelling, bruising, redness, and pain at the injection site. Based on the size of Zombie BBL or non-surgical BBL you wanted, there may be some immediate results. This will vary by patient and results should become more visible in the coming months.

Causes Of Under Eye Circles & PRP For Tear Troughs

By Dr. Craig Jonov | Platelet Rich Plasma, PRP Injections

Dark circles under the eyes and eye bags have many causes beyond lack of sleep. While not getting enough sleep can contribute to the look of the tear trough area, it is not usually the underlying cause in people with naturally dark or sunken eyes.

Most of the time, genetics play the largest role in the appearance or development of under eyes circles. Some people are genetically predisposed to periorbital hyperpigmentation and a healthy amount of sleep will cause this to go away. Additionally, certain conditions like sinus issues, allergies, and insomnia can all cause or worsen the condition.

For those wanting to find a solution to looking perpetually tired, PRP In Seattle offers an injectable treatment known as PRP for tear troughs. PRP, or platelet rich plasma, comes from a patient’s body and is simply isolated before being injected under the eyes. This alternative to dermal fillers stimulates collagen production in the area. Consequently, this can lead to longer lasting results than fillers that must be refreshed to upkeep results.

The procedure is performed by Seattle plastic surgeons or physician trained injectors. The injectors at PRP In Seattle have trained with platelet rich plasma and know the best practices to promote a good result.

Most patients require between three and six rounds of injections to see the results they desire. To schedule a consultation at PRP In Seattle, call us at 206-279-2112 or contact us online.

Injections of platelet rich plasma have been used for decades for a variety of purposes. In the beginning, they were used for therapeutic purposes to treat injuries and arthritis. These treatments increased the body’s healing response, collagen formation, and other factors that could speed up the healing process and lead to less pain.

Donated fat and placenta can act as your own fat, augmenting the butt naturally.
