Can PRP cause a blood clot or vascular occlusion?

Question

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.

I dont feel that injectables like prp which are solutions can cause clots or blindness around the eyes but you always take a risk with any injectables.

The ACD added to PRP collection tubes should prevent blood clots. Addition of activating factors such as thrombin or calcium can precipitate clotting. Acel is a particulate material and it is not suggested for injection under the eyes.Jeff Rapaport MD FAADRealself Verified All-star
