Noticing hollows under your eyes that seem to keep getting deeper? As we age, we lose fat in that area, making our faces look a little more tired and drawn.
Taking care of under-eye hollows requires the delicate touch of a skilled professional because the skin around the eyes is super thin, and everyone has different factors at play, such as their natural skin color, bone structure, and how much fat they have under their eyes. A one-size-fits-all approach is not ideal for this area, and we carefully work with you to tailor your under-eye treatment plan to you.
PRF Under Eyes
Want to brighten and tighten your under-eye area naturally? PRF injections might be your answer. They’re a new twist on popular PRP injections but with some key differences. Here at HerSpace MedSpa, we offer a variety of ways to rejuvenate your skin, and PRF is a great option for those looking for a natural approach.
PRF is short for Platelet Rich Fibrin, and it uses your own body’s healing power to target concerns like under-eye circles and wrinkles. Unlike dermal fillers, which plump the area immediately, PRF injections stimulate collagen production for longer-lasting results.
PRF is a second-generation version of PRP a study in the National Library of Medicine says. It works the same way, using your blood to improve your skin, but PRF packs a stronger punch. It releases more growth factors over a longer period, promoting tissue regeneration and growth stimulation.
PRF injections encourage your skin to repair itself, improve texture and firmness, and reduce puffiness. Aside from tear troughs and under-eyes, PRF treatments can also help with:
- Acne scars
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Sagging skin and volume loss
- Burn scars
- Sun damage
- Stretch marks
- Hair thinning or loss
How Does PRF Under Eyes Work?
PRF injections use your blood to create a special serum packed with healing ingredients. Our PRF injectors take a tiny amount of your blood and put it in a centrifuge to separate important ingredients like platelets and growth factors. The under-eye area is gently numbed before the PRF is injected. The needle is super fine, so the process is quick and painless.
This “liquid gold” is injected into your skin to trigger collagen production and help your cells act younger for smoother, firmer, and younger-looking skin.
Immediately after your PRF under-eye appointment, your eyes might be a little puffy, red, or bruised temporarily, but this is quite normal. Most of this will clear up within a few hours or days. We recommend taking it easy for the first 24 hours, avoiding heavy workouts, and staying out of the direct sun. Over the next few months, as your body’s natural healing process works its magic, thanks to the PRF, you’ll notice your under-eye concerns gradually fade away.
Benefits of PRF under eye injections include:
Fills in hollowness
As we age, we lose volume under our eyes, making them look sunken. PRF injections can help by stimulating collagen production, filling in those dips, and giving you a more refreshed appearance.
Promotes stronger, healthier skin
PRF isn’t just about filling; it’s about improving your skin’s health overall. By injecting your growth factors, PRF can improve skin texture and firmness, making your under-eye area look smoother and more youthful.
You, but better
PRF uses your body’s healing process to work its wonders. There are no harsh chemicals or foreign substances, just your natural healing power for a subtle and natural result.
How Many PRF Treatments Are Needed for Under Eyes?
Consistency is key to seeing the best results from your PRF under eye treatments. We usually recommend a series of at least three sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart, but some patients see an impressive difference after just one treatment. A few sessions will get you started, and then regular appointments annually can help you maintain your results.
PRF Under Eyes: How Long Does it Last?
It takes a little time to see the magic of PRF. While you might see some improvement within 4-8 weeks, your results will continue to improve for 3-6 months after your initial appointment. The good news is that most PRF results last about a year and a half. We recommend a yearly maintenance injection after your initial series to keep that refreshed look,
PRF vs. Filler for Under Eyes
When tackling tired eyes, there are two main options: PRF and fillers.
You can think of PRF as a workout for your under-eye area. It uses your blood to boost collagen production, which, over time, will make your skin smoother and firmer. It’s ideal for fine lines, subtle hollows, dark circles, and overall texture.
Fillers are more like a quick fix. They immediately plump up the area and are great for filling in hollowness and smoothing away those pesky under-eye bags.
PRF might be a good fit if you want a natural approach and are okay with waiting for results. On the other hand, if you want to see an immediate difference, fillers could be the way to go.
Talking to a qualified aesthetic professional is key to discovering whether PRF injections or filler are better for you. When you schedule a consultation with the providers at HerSpace MedSpa, we can help you decide which option is best for tackling those under-eye concerns and getting you back to feeling like your best self. We can also answer any questions you have about PRF under-eye cost, and show you PRF under-eye before and after photos of some of our happy patients.
