- PDGF Under Eye Treatment -
The PDGF (Platelet-Derived Growth Factor) Undereye Treatment is an innovative, non-invasive procedure designed to rejuvenate the delicate skin around the eyes. This treatment harnesses the power of growth factors derived from platelets to promote healing, improve signs of aging skin around the eyes, reduce dark circles, and diminish puffiness.
- Many patients notice improvements instantly, with full effects seen over several months as collagen regeneration occurs.
- Great for individuals looking to address dark circles, puffiness, and overall signs of aging around the eyes without surgery.
How It Works
Our PDGF (Platelet-Derived Growth Factor) under-eye treatment uses highly purified growth factors derived from platelets in a controlled laboratory setting. These lab-created PDGFs mimic the body’s natural signaling proteins, helping to:
- Support collagen and elastin production
- Improve skin firmness and texture
- Reduce the appearance of fine lines and crepiness
- Enhance overall under-eye smoothness and radiance
Dr. Lim carefully delivers the treatment into the delicate under-eye area, where PDGF helps stimulate the skin’s natural repair and rejuvenation processes over time.
**During the treatment:**
- The under-eye area is cleansed and prepared.
- A topical numbing cream may be applied for comfort, depending on the delivery method.
- Dr. Lim precisely places or injects PDGF into the target area.
- Most treatments take about 15–30 minutes.
**After the treatment:**
- Mild redness, swelling, or pinpoint marks can occur and typically resolve within a few hours to a few days.
- Makeup can usually be applied the next day, as directed by Dr. Lim.
- Results develop gradually over several weeks as the skin responds to the growth factors.
- A series of treatments may be recommended for optimal improvement.
**Safety:**
- PDGF used in this treatment is produced in a lab under sterile, controlled conditions, rather than drawn from your own blood.
- The formulation is designed for use in delicate areas like the under eyes.
- Most patients tolerate the treatment well, with minimal downtime.
- Side effects may include temporary redness, swelling, bruising, or tenderness at the treatment site.
- Dr. Lim will review your medical history and examine the under-eye area to ensure the treatment is appropriate for you.
**Planning Your Treatment:**
- Avoid blood-thinning medications and supplements (as advised by Dr. Lim) prior to treatment to help minimize bruising.
- Plan your appointment at least 1–2 weeks before major events in case of temporary swelling or bruising.
- Dr. Lim will discuss how many sessions are recommended based on your skin quality, age, and goals.
- Maintenance treatments may be suggested to help sustain results over time.
