Can PRP cause a blood clot or vascular occlusion?

zaraziMay 2, 2020
I am interested in getting PRP injected in my under eyes, but I'm concerned that it might be too thick and clog a vessel. Can this occur, or does the ACD they add prevent it? Also, does PRP sting going in? I heard that some doctors mix it with something else to neutralize its PH.

PRP is extremely safe since it's a component of your own blood. Blindness is a very rare but real risk which occurs when hyaluronic acid or other fillers occlude a blood vessel.

Thank you for your question.  Being on an antibiotic for UTI will not prevent you from a successful facial PRP treatment.
