PDGF Under-Eye Treatment: Reversing Signs of Aging Naturally

Your eyes show when you’re rested, stressed, joyful, or exhausted, but as time passes, the under-eye area often tells a story you didn’t intend.

Thinning skin. New creases. A shadow that seems to appear overnight. A hollow that makes you look tired even after eight hours of sleep.

If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone. The under-eye region is one of the first places to show age, and for many people, it becomes the biggest frustration.

At Laguna Med Spa, we are always searching for treatments that restore—not disguise—your natural features. That’s why we’re excited to offer PDGF Under-Eye Therapy, a regenerative treatment that uses the most powerful growth factors your body produces to rebuild delicate tissue from the inside out.

This treatment is natural.

It’s subtle.

And it works with your biology to create real, visible change.

Today, we’re taking you behind the scenes.

Why the Under-Eye Area Ages Faster Than the Rest of Your Face

This part is important, because the “why” helps explain why PDGF works so well.

The skin below your eyes is:

• The thinnest skin on your entire body
• Low in oil glands, which means less natural moisture
• Rich in blood vessels, which become more visible as the skin thins
• Constantly moving, through blinking and expression
• The first area to lose collagen, especially after age 30

On top of that, genetics, allergies, dehydration, sun exposure, and sleep patterns all stack up over the years.

This combination leads to:

• Crepiness
• Fine lines
• Hollows and tear troughs
• Shadowing that looks like dark circles
• Skin laxity and thinning
• A “tired” look that makeup can only partly cover

Many people try eye creams. Some help, but none can stimulate the kind of deep structural change that aging skin needs.

That’s where regenerative medicine comes in.

The Science Behind PDGF: What Makes It Different

You’ve probably heard of PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma). It’s been one of our favorite natural treatments for years.

PDGF takes the idea of PRP and focuses it into a more powerful, more concentrated treatment.

Here’s how:

PRP contains:

• Plasma
• Platelets
• A full collection of growth factors in moderate concentration

PDGF isolates and concentrates:

• Platelet-Derived Growth Factors ONLY
• In far higher potency
• With stronger collagen-stimulating effects
• With deeper tissue-supporting benefits

Think of PRP as the whole orange.

Think of PDGF as the pure vitamin C extracted from that orange, intensified and delivered precisely where healing is needed.

PDGF is the primary growth factor responsible for:

• Collagen production
• Fibroblast activation
• Tissue repair
• Strengthening the dermal matrix
• Improving elasticity
• Rebuilding thin skin

What PDGF Can Improve Under the Eyes

Clients love PDGF because results look natural. Nothing looks fake, filled, or “done.”

PDGF can help:

• Strengthen thinning skin
• Reduce fine lines and crepiness
• Brighten shadowing caused by translucency
• Improve under-eye texture
• Restore a smoother, tighter appearance
• Support volume by creating a stronger collagen network
• Minimize the tired look caused by skin laxity
• Pair beautifully with fillers for structural hollows

This treatment is ideal for anyone who says:

“I look tired even when I’m not.”
“My concealer isn’t cutting it anymore.”
“I want something natural, not dramatic.”

What to Expect During Your PDGF Treatment at Laguna Med Spa

1. Comprehensive Consultation

We evaluate your unique anatomy and concerns.

• Is your under eye skin thin
• Is there true pigmentation
• Is there hollowness
• Is there laxity or crepiness

These details help us decide if PDGF will be your primary solution or part of a customized combination plan.

2. Targeted PDGF Application

PDGF is applied directly to the treatment area using techniques that promote deep penetration and maximize regenerative activity.

3. Immediate Aftercare

You may notice mild swelling or a light feeling of fullness for twenty four to seventy two hours. Bruising is possible but usually minimal. Most patients return to normal activities the next day.

When You’ll See Results

Regenerative treatments are powerful, but they require patience because they follow your body’s natural healing timeline.

Timeline:

Weeks 1–3:

• Subtle brightening
• Smoother surface texture
• Early signs of firmness

Weeks 4–8:

• Noticeable strengthening
• Reduced crepiness
• Brighter tone
• Less under-eye shadowing

Months 2–4:

• Peak collagen production
• Significant refinement
• A rested, refreshed look that still looks like you

Results can last 6–12 months, sometimes longer, depending on your skincare, lifestyle, and whether you maintain with follow-up sessions.

PDGF vs Other Under-Eye Treatments at Laguna Med Spa

Every client ages differently, so we offer several tools to address the under-eye area.
Here’s how PDGF compares:

PDGF (Platelet-Derived Growth Factor)

• Best for: Thin skin, crepiness, shadowing, early laxity
• Why choose it: Natural, potent, collagen-driven, long-lasting

PRP Under-Eye Treatment

• Best for: General rejuvenation
• Why choose it: Gentler, great starting point

Under-Eye Filler

• Best for: Hollowing and tear troughs
• Why choose it: Instant structure
• Often combined with PDGF for both support + structure

CoolPeel or CO2 Laser

• Best for: Texture, wrinkles, deeper crepiness

Chemical Peels

• Best for: Pigmentation, sun damage

Most clients get the best results from a combination approach, especially PDGF + filler or PDGF + light resurfacing.

Who’s an Ideal Candidate for PDGF?

You may be perfect for PDGF if you:

• Prefer natural anti-aging
• Want subtle but meaningful improvement
• Have thin or crepey under-eye skin
• Have mild-to-moderate dark circles from translucency
• Want to strengthen your skin before filler
• Want a treatment that builds over time
• Don’t want surgery or high-downtime procedures

If your darkness comes from pigment, we may combine PDGF with targeted treatments like IPL or chemical peels.

Post-Treatment Care: Maximizing Your PDGF Results

Immediate Care (First 48 Hours):

• Rest and Position: Keep your head elevated and sleep on your back for the first two nights, if possible, to minimize swelling.
• Avoid Strenuous Activity: Refrain from any strenuous exercise, excessive heat (e.g., saunas, hot tubs, hot yoga, tanning beds, hot showers), and alcohol consumption.
• Hygiene: Use clean pillowcases and fresh towels to prevent the risk of infection.
• Hydration: Stay well hydrated to support the natural healing process and collagen production.

Short-Term Care (First 5 Days):

• Medication: Do not take any blood-thinning medications or supplements, such as ibuprofen, aspirin, fish oil, or Vitamin E.
• Skincare: Use gentle, hydrating skincare products (cleanser and moisturizer).
• Massage: Gently massage the treated area 3 to 4 times daily, as instructed by your provider.

Mid-Term Care (First 2 Weeks):

• Sun Protection: Apply a broad-spectrum SPF daily to protect your skin from sun damage.
• Diet: Avoid foods high in sodium, as excess sodium can increase swelling, particularly around the eyes.
• Avoid Other Treatments: Postpone any dental work, vaccinations, or other cosmetic treatments (including laser, microneedling, facials, and chemical peels) for two weeks.

Long-Term Follow-Up:

• Patience: Allow several weeks for the full results to become apparent, as the growth factors work gradually to rejuvenate the skin.
• Compliance: Attend all scheduled follow-up appointments and strictly adhere to your provider’s personalized treatment plan.

Why Clients Love PDGF

Clients choose PDGF because:

✔ It is natural
✔ It strengthens skin structure
✔ It delivers long-term change
✔ It brightens without bleaching
✔ It pairs well with other treatments
✔ It looks authentic

The goal is not to change your face.
The goal is to restore the smooth, rested look you used to have.
