PRF (Platelet-rich Fibrin)
UNDER EYE Rejuvenation
A natural, non-surgical option to treat under eye circles and bags
ABOUT PRF Under Eye injection
PRF stands for Platelet-Rich Fibrin. It's an advanced medical treatment derived from an individual’s own blood and is primarily used in various healing and regenerative processes. In cosmetic procedures, PRF is used to improve skin quality, promote hair growth, and treat areas that show signs of aging. It can be applied in aesthetic treatments similar to PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) to rejuvenate the skin, reduce wrinkles, and enhance facial volume naturally.
wHAT IT IS
PRF is derived from a sample of an individual's own blood. The blood is spun in a centrifuge, which separates its different components. PRF is unique because it contains a high concentration of platelets, growth factors, and fibrin (a protein involved in blood clotting). The concentration of platelets and growth factors in PRF plays a crucial role in healing and tissue regeneration. Platelets are not only essential for clotting but also release growth factors that aid in wound healing and encourage the growth of new cells. PRF works to correct dark circles and under-eye pigmentation because the plasma can help to regain the lost elasticity and plumpness under the eyes by repairing the weakening collagen and elastin in the skin and clear away puffiness due to excess fluid retention and toxins.
how it works
Swelling commonly goes away 48 to 72 hours after injection. However, if you experience bruising, that bruise may last up to two weeks. For best results, it is recommended that patients undergo 3 initial treatments, 4-6 weeks apart. Patients should expect to need a follow-up treatment once within 6-12 months of the final PRF session. This timing varies depending on the patient’s age, how the body responds to the PRF treatment and the initial severity of the under-eye circles.
