Achieve Fuller & Brighter Under Eyes with Growth Factors

There are several common reasons for dark under eyes and eye bags:

• Lifestyle: Poor diet, inadequate hydration, and lack of sleep can lead to a tired appearance, with sleep deprivation causing dull skin and visible blood vessels.
• Natural Age: Aging leads to thinner skin and decreased collagen, resulting in shadowed and creased under eyes.
• Skin Tone: Differences in skin tone can affect the appearance of under-eye areas, with lighter skin tones showing more visible blood vessels and darker skin tones experiencing heavier pigmentation.
• Allergies: Conditions like hay fever or pet allergies can cause rubbing of the eyes, leading to puffiness and darkening of the skin due to burst blood vessels.

Injections using Growth Factors under the eyes stimulate blood vessel growth and collagen production, resulting in a refreshed appearance. The infusion of new blood vessels allows essential nutrients and oxygen to enter the skin, reducing puffiness, darkness, and loose skin.

The number of Growth Factor injections needed varies depending on individual skin conditions and desired outcomes. It is typically recommended to receive 1 treatment every 4 weeks, with at least 3-4 treatments to see optimal results. While Growth Factors is a natural treatment, results may not be immediate, with continued improvement observed over the following weeks after each treatment.

Injections using Growth Factors under the eyes are considered safe, harnessing the body's own plasma with minimal risk. Unlike traditional fillers, injections using Growth Factors carry no risk of allergic reactions or skin sensitivity. Side effects such as small swelling and tenderness may occur but are typically mild and temporary. However, as with any injectable treatment, there is a small risk of infection, so following aftercare instructions is crucial.

Injections using Growth Factors and dermal fillers serve different purposes. Growth Factors injections are a safer alternative to fillers, focusing on reducing darkness, increasing smoothness, and improving the quality of the skin under the eyes. While fillers are typically used to treat hollow under eyes, injections using Growth Factors offer a natural and rejuvenating approach to under-eye rejuvenation.

Following under-eye injections using Growth Factors, it is essential to adhere to post-treatment care instructions:

• Avoid taking anti-inflammatory tablets for at least 1 week.
• Refrain from strenuous exercise for 24 hours.
• Avoid touching the treated area for 8-10 hours.
• Stay away from direct sunlight or heat sources for 24-48 hours.
• Skip makeup for at least 12 hours.
• Limit alcohol and smoking for 24-48 hours.
• Avoid using active skincare products for 1 week.
• Drink plenty of water for hydration and enhanced healing.
• Sleep with your head elevated to reduce swelling if necessary.

Swelling and redness are common for up to 3-4 days after treatment, but if symptoms persist, it's advisable to consult your GP.
