What you need to know: PDGF+

What to Expect / When to Contact Us:

Normal & Expected:

• Mild swelling, bruising, or tenderness for 2–5 days.

• Slight puffiness or asymmetry during healing.

• Slight darkening/redness of the area treated for up to 2-3 weeks post treatment.

• Gradual improvement in under-eye texture and color.

Contact Us If You Experience:

• Severe swelling or pain that worsens over time.

• Signs of infection (heat, pus, spreading redness).

• Changes in vision or skin color under the eyes.

Pre-Care Instructions:

To prepare for your under-eye PDGF+ treatment (similar to PRP/PRF injections):

• Avoid alcohol, aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oil, and other blood thinners for 3–5 days prior (if medically safe to do so).

• Let your provider know about any medical conditions, recent illness, or medications.

• Refrain from scheduling within 2 weeks of major events due to possible swelling or bruising.

• Arrive with clean, makeup-free skin.

Post-Care Instructions:

It is normal to experience mild swelling, redness, or bruising after injections under the eyes. To support healing:

• Avoid touching, rubbing, or applying pressure to the area for 24 hours.

• Refrain from using makeup or active skincare products for 24 hours.

• Apply cold compresses as needed to reduce swelling (10 minutes on, 10 minutes off).

• Sleep with your head elevated for the first night to minimize puffiness.

• Avoid strenuous exercise, heat, and alcohol for 24 hours.

Improvements occur gradually as the PDGF+ stimulates tissue repair and collagen production. A series of treatments may be recommended for best results—your provider will guide your customized plan.
