👩🏻⚕️ The skin around the eyes are the trickiest to treat due to how paper thin it is.
🩷 2 treatments I love for the eyes are platelet rich plasma (PRP) and skin boosters. They both boost the health of the skin but in their unique way. Because it’s injected into the skin via microdroplets with a needle or more comfortably with a blunt cannula, it targets deeper than what your skin care can do.
🩸 PRP is where your blood is drawn and then centrifuge to obtain the plasma - the liquid gold ooze that your skin produces when you cut yourself. It’s then injected into the skin or applied topically after microneedling or laser. It’s rich in platelets which contains growth factors that stimulates blood circulation, collagen/ elastin production and cellular repair. It also acts as as antibacterial and antioxidant which is helpful for sensitive skin.
💦 Skin Boosters is an umbrella name for a class of superficial injectable treatments eg Profhilo (hyaluronic acid), polynucleotides (DNA salmon), Hydro (hyaluronic acid) and Sunekos (hyaluronic acid + amino acid).
Because this is like injectable moisturisers, it works quicker in regards to hydration and plumping. The firming comes later from the gradual stimulation.
🗓️ Both PRP and Skin Boosters require 2-3 sessions 2-4 weeks apart depending on the goal and type.
💊 Whichever you decide to experiment with, before you go for your treatment, I recommend stopping these supplements at least 3 days before to reduce bruising:-
🔸 Omega 3
🔸 Spirulina
🔸 Cod liver oil
🔸 Vitamin K
These supplements make your blood flow easier which is great for health but less so if you are having injectable treatments. You can also take arnica tablets 3 days before and after to reduce the bruising too.
If you have any questions about the treatments above, let me know.
