PRP For Eyes in Birmingham

The components of the extracted plasma promote the activation of skin cells by altering the micro environment, improving blood flow to the skin and activating your body’s own stem cells to begin cell division and differentiation. The blood is spun in a centrifuge to extract the plasma which is rich in platelets and growth factors from other components of the blood that inhibit the regeneration process. 

As we age, we lose collagen and elastin which play a key role as scaffolds within our skin holding it tight and firm. Our skin cells also start slowing down, essentially becoming more sleepy. What we end up seeing is greater skin skin laxity, fine lines and wrinkles and dull skin. The PRP once injected starts signalling to the other cells in the injection area to essentially ‘wake them up’ hence when it is injected in to the delicate skin around the eyes, it stimulates dermal fibroblasts which are the cells that produce collagen and elastin. As it wakes up the fibroblasts, it wakes up a host of other cells that help boost the nutrition and blood flow to the area. When PRP is injected in higher concentrations around the eyes, the combined boost in collagen, elastin and blood vessel growth allows for a greater delivery of oxygen and nutrients to this delicate area which helps with dark circles, puffiness and combating fine lines and wrinkles by tightening the skin.  

At Secret Aesthetics we use a specific low molecular weight hyaluronic acid that is compatible with PRP for a unique mix that boosts the efficacy of the results. If collagen and elastin are the scaffolds, hyaluronic acid is the gel-like glue that keeps the scaffolding firmly together! But that’s not all, skin boosters also penetrate deeply throughout the skin as the hyaluronic acid is not cross-linked so once injected, it disperses to enable skin cells to boost their own production of elastin and collagen as well as hold moisture.
