The Science of Undereye Rejuvenation: How PDGF Can Help
The delicate skin under the eyes is often the first to show signs of aging, including fine lines, volume loss, and dark circles. While traditional dermal fillers provide immediate results, Platelet-Derived Growth Factor (PDGF) injections offer a regenerative approach that works with your body’s natural healing processes to restore and rejuvenate this challenging area.
PDGF, a protein found in platelets, acts as a cellular “messenger” that triggers tissue repair and regeneration. When injected under the eyes, it stimulates collagen and elastin production, improves circulation, and helps restore volume naturally.
How PDGF Supports Undereye Rejuvenation
Boosts Collagen and Elastin: PDGF signals fibroblasts to produce structural proteins, thickening the skin and smoothing fine lines for firmer, more resilient skin.
Improves Circulation: Poor blood flow contributes to dark circles. PDGF encourages angiogenesis, helping to reduce discoloration and deliver nutrients to the area.
Restores Volume Naturally: Instead of adding filler, PDGF regenerates tissue, subtly improving hollows and improving skin texture over time.
PDGF vs. Traditional Fillers
Dermal Fillers: Provide instant volume but carry risks like swelling, migration, or vascular complications.
PDGF: Stimulates your body’s own cells to repair and rejuvenate tissue, resulting in long-lasting, natural improvements in skin quality, texture, and tone without introducing foreign substances.
What to Expect
PDGF under-eye injections are minimally invasive, with little to no downtime. Depending on the product, treatment may use your own platelet-rich plasma or a lab-engineered PDGF solution. Mild redness or swelling typically resolves within 24–48 hours.
Results develop gradually: improvements in skin texture and hydration may appear within a few weeks, while reductions in fine lines, dark circles, and hollows become noticeable after a series of treatments over several months.
For a foundational, restorative, and natural approach to under-eye rejuvenation, PDGF injections help restore vitality, texture, and resilience to this delicate area.
