Periorbital Hyperpigmentation Clinical Trial
Official title:
Efficacy of Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) in the Treatment of Periorbital Hyperpigmentation
10 ml of blood from each patient will be drawn. This blood specimen will be centrifuged in a specific way to get 1 ml of platelet rich plasma (PRP). PRP will be injected into the the skin under the eyes. The treatment course consists of three sessions of PRP injections with one-month intervals between the sessions.

has been obtained from whole blood with concentration of platelets higher than normal
concentration found in the circulating blood. PRP's work mechanism depends on the fact that

Aim of the research:
This study was designed to evaluate the effectiveness of (PRP) injection in the treatment of

will be recorded.
