Dark circles and fine lines can hamper your looks even if you have flawless skin. You may look dull, sick, and much older than your age if they get more prominent. However, you can get PRP and fillers to brighten your under-eye area. These two treatments have different benefits when it comes to rejuvenating the under-eye portion and restoring the youthful charm of your eyes. To choose the right option among PRP and fillers for your under eyes, you should know how they work for under eyes and their differences. Keep reading this blog to find out.Ā
How Does PRP Injection Work for Under Eyes? 
PRP injection in the under-eye portion reduces the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. PRP has growth factors that increase collagen production, tighten loose skin near the eyes, and reduce under-eye bags. PRP treats dark circles as they trigger blood flow through this portion. A single session reduces the visibility of discoloration and puffiness.Ā

The doctor draws blood and extracts PRP with a centrifuge. After sufficient PRP is extracted, it is reinjected where itās injected. The time required for PRP under eye treatment is almost 30 minutes from the face preparation to the end of the session. So, patients can get their treatment done quickly, even during the lunch breaks in the office, and love the immediate results. Even though the results are temporary, PRP injection is suitable for a person looking for a long-term option to treat under-eye bags and look youthful.Ā
How Do Under-Eye Fillers Work?
Ā
Under-eye fillers, also known as āeye bag fillersā or ātear trough fillersā, are a minimally invasive treatment that rejuvenates the under-eye portion. This treatment involves injecting HA fillers in the subtle hollows under your eyes without undergoing surgery. The eye fillers work by adding volume to the most required areas. The direct injection of hyaluronic acid under the skin reduces the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, dark circles, and eye bags. The careful HA injection beneath the skin fills in the hollow portions and expands the skin to give you youthful skin.Ā
By increasing volume, under-eye fillers help reduce the appearance of dark circles and dull eyes, which give you a more rejuvenated and refreshed look. Since hyaluronic acid used in the dermal is biodegradable and biocompatible, your body can absorb it gradually, and the effects last for 6 to 18 months. If you want to fix the under-eye concerns and reduce the appearance of eyebags and under-eye areas, you should consider getting fillers.Ā
