A certified phlebotomist takes a small sample from your arm, about the same as a routine blood test. Nothing is added from outside your body.

Under-eye PRP in DublinBrighter, less tired eyes.
The skin under the eyes is some of the thinnest on the body. PRP placed with a very fine needle supports new collagen there, so the area can look less hollow, less crepey and less tired.

The treatment
Why PRP for under-eyes?
When the skin under the eyes thins, it shows more of what's beneath it: shadow, blood vessels and creases. PRP works on the skin itself, supporting the collagen that gives it thickness.
Because it's made from your own blood, there's nothing foreign placed near your eyes. We use numbing cream, a very fine needle and small amounts, and we treat both the upper and lower eye area.
What it can help with
- Dark circles caused by thin skin
- Hollows and a sunken look under the eye
- Crepey skin and fine lines
- Looking tired even after a good night's sleep
What it won't do
PRP won't remove puffiness caused by fluid or fat pads under the eye. If that's what's behind your concern, Louise will tell you honestly at your consultation.
After your treatment
Some swelling and small bruises under the eyes are common and usually settle within a few days. Most clients go straight back to their day, though you may prefer not to book anything important straight after.
Spun until it separates.
The tube goes into a centrifuge. Heavy red cells sink to the bottom, and the golden plasma rises to the top, with the platelets gathered just above the red layer.

Liquid gold, made of platelets.
We draw off the platelet-rich layer of the plasma. This is the PRP: your own plasma, holding far more platelets than the blood it came from.
2–3 µmone platelet
7–8 µmone red cell
Each platelet is a tiny parcel.
Platelets carry growth factors, the proteins your body uses to repair itself after a scrape or a cut. When the PRP goes back into your skin or scalp, they release them.
PDGFgrowth factor
VEGFgrowth factor
TGF-βgrowth factor
A message your cells already understand.
Growth factors dock onto receptors on nearby cells and switch on repair work, including collagen production in the skin and activity around the hair follicle.
Then your body does the rest.
In the skin, fibroblasts lay down fresh collagen, so texture and fine lines can improve gradually over the following weeks.
Then we finish with red light.
Every treatment now ends with free red light therapy. Red and near-infrared light passes into the skin and scalp, where it's absorbed by the mitochondria: the parts of each cell that make its energy.
We use it to calm the skin after treatment, support circulation and help along the renewal your PRP has started. It's warm and painless, and you just lie back.

Your appointment
About an hour, start to finish.
- Consultation
We look closely at your skin or scalp, talk through your goals, and check PRP is right for you.
- Blood draw
A small sample is taken from your arm by a certified phlebotomist.
- Centrifuge
The sample is spun to separate the platelet-rich plasma from the rest of your blood.
- Preparation
We prepare the PRP, with any add-ons in your plan. For face, under-eye and neck treatments, numbing cream takes effect while you wait.
- Treatment
The PRP is placed into the area with a very fine needle.
- Free red light therapy
You finish under a red light panel, free with every treatment. It's warm and painless, and helps calm the skin after the injections.
- Aftercare
Some redness or swelling is normal and usually settles within a few days. We'll tell you exactly what to avoid.
Before you come in
- No alcohol or recreational drugs the day before your appointment.
- Eat normally and drink plenty of water, as it makes the blood draw easier.
- Tell us about any medication you take, especially blood thinners or anti-inflammatories.
Questions
Good questions to ask.
Anything else? Message Louise on WhatsApp at +353 83 307 7116.
Is under-eye PRP safe?
PRP is made from your own blood, so the risk of an allergic reaction is very low. We ask health questions first and won't treat you if PRP isn't right for you.
Will I bruise?
Small bruises and some swelling under the eyes are common, and usually settle within a few days.
Do you treat the upper eyelid too?
Yes. We treat both the upper and lower eye area.
How many sessions will I need?
Most clients have a course of 3. Louise will recommend the number and spacing at your consultation.
When will I see a difference?
The change is gradual, as new collagen builds over the weeks after each session.
Does it hurt?
You may feel some mild stinging during the injections. For face, under-eye and neck treatments we use numbing cream to keep you comfortable. Hair treatments are done without it. Afterwards you may have some redness, swelling or bruising, which usually settles within a few days.
Do I need a consultation first?
Yes, if you're new to us. The consultation costs €50 and takes about an hour. Louise checks PRP is right for you and builds your plan, and if you go ahead, the €50 comes off your first treatment.
