The Under-Eye Treatment That You’ve Been Waiting For.

Dark circles, hollows, and under-eye fatigue are among the most requested aesthetic concerns — and among the trickiest to treat. Endoret® PRGF plasma gel is changing that conversation entirely. No synthetic filler. Just your own biology, activated. Ready to address your under eyes? Book your complimentary under-eye consultation.

There is no single feature more responsible for the "tired look" than the under-eye area. Dark circles, hollows, fine crepey texture, persistent puffiness — they communicate exhaustion regardless of how rested you actually are. They age a face more than almost anything else. And they have historically been one of the most difficult areas in aesthetic medicine to treat well, because the skin beneath the eye is the thinnest on the entire face — delicate, highly vascular, and entirely unforgiving of technique or product choice.

Traditional hyaluronic acid fillers placed in the tear trough can be transformative in the right hands — but they carry real risks in this zone: the Tyndall effect (a bluish discoloration caused by light scattering through HA placed too superficially), lumpiness, prolonged swelling, and a result that can look heavy or artificial. For patients who are cautious about synthetic fillers under the eyes — or who have had less-than-ideal experiences — there is now a more elegant solution.

At Évry Aesthetics in Elmhurst, IL, we use the Endoret® PRGF system to create plasma gel for under-eye treatment: a 100% autologous, biocompatible injectable derived entirely from your own blood. No synthetic materials. No allergy risk. No Tyndall effect. Just your own growth factors — concentrated, activated, and precisely delivered to one of the most sensitive areas of the face.

Why the under-eye area is so complex

Dark circles and under-eye hollows are rarely caused by a single factor. Most patients present with a combination of concerns that require a nuanced approach:

  • Volume loss and tear trough depression— as facial fat pads thin and shift downward with age, the orbital rim becomes more visible, casting a shadow that reads as a dark circle even when pigmentation isn't the issue

  • Skin laxity and crepiness— the under-eye skin loses collagen and elastin faster than almost any other area, creating fine lines, creasing, and a translucency that reveals the vascular structures beneath

  • Vascular pigmentation— visible blood vessels showing through thin skin create a bluish or purplish tint that concealer can't fully address

  • Chronic inflammation and fluid retention— puffiness, morning swelling, and under-eye bags often reflect disrupted lymphatic drainage or low-grade inflammation in the periorbital tissue

Treating the under-eye area well means addressing all of these — structure, skin quality, pigmentation, and inflammation — not just filling a hollow. This is exactly what makes Endoret® PRGF plasma gel so well suited to this zone.


What Endoret® PRGF is — and why it's different from PRP

You may be familiar with PRP (platelet-rich plasma) — the "vampire facial" that became a cultural moment a decade ago. Endoret® PRGF is a distinct, more refined technology developed by Dr. Eduardo Anitua in Spain, and it is meaningfully different from conventional PRP in ways that matter clinically.

Conventional PRP includes white blood cells (leukocytes), which introduce inflammatory cytokines into the injection site. Endoret® PRGF intentionally excludes leukocytes — isolating only the platelet-derived growth factors responsible for regeneration, without the inflammatory signals that can cause swelling, discomfort, and unpredictable results. Under the eyes, where inflammation is both visible and problematic, this distinction is critical.

Unlike conventional PRP, which varies widely in concentration and quality depending on the device and technique used, the Endoret® system uses a patented protocol that standardizes the isolation process — ensuring consistent growth factor concentration and biological activity across every treatment. This reproducibility is essential for a treatment area as demanding as the periorbital zone.

What the clinical data shows

A comparative study published in the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology evaluated Endoret® Gel monotherapy versus Endoret® Gel combined with PRGF for facial rejuvenation across three sessions at monthly intervals. Results showed significant decreases in sebum production and wrinkle development in both groups, with the combined therapy producing higher hydration, better overall improvement scores, and 70% of patients reporting being "very satisfied" — compared to 30% in the monotherapy group. No adverse events were recorded in either group, and no patients reported negative changes.

Structurally, Endoret® Gel presents high-molecular-weight plasmatic proteins forming solid thermal aggregates enclosed within a stable fibrin network — giving it a higher cutaneous projection capacity than liquid PRGF alone, while both formulations carry a high payload of bioactive proteins including EGF, PDGF-AB, and IGF-I. In the under-eye area, this means the gel can gently lift and support the tear trough while the growth factors simultaneously work to improve the skin's underlying quality — addressing the structure and the surface in a single treatment.

A series of 2–3 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart is typically recommended for optimal results, with annual maintenance to sustain the regenerative benefits.

The under-eye area deserves a treatment as considered as the concern itself. If you're in Elmhurst, Oak Brook, Wheaton, Lombard, or the greater Chicago area and have been living with tired-looking eyes — or have been hesitant about filler in this area — we'd love to walk you through what Endoret® PRGF can do for you. A complimentary consultation at Évry is where it starts.
