PRF Under Eye Rejuvenation: A Natural Alternative
Let’s start with the basics—what exactly is PRF Under-Eye Rejuvenation? PRF stands for Platelet-Rich Fibrin. This cosmetic procedure is recommended for individuals who suffer from dark circles, puffiness, or fine lines due to stress, aging, genetics, lack of sleep, medical conditions, and other factors. PRF is a minimally invasive, non-surgical solution that enhances the under-eye area naturally. PRF works by utilizing your body's own healing properties.
During the procedure, a small amount of blood is drawn from your arm and placed in a centrifuge. This process separates the platelet-rich fibrin from the rest of the blood components. The PRF, rich in growth factors, is then injected into the under-eye area, stimulating collagen production and improving skin quality. Our experienced physician injectors at MD Skin Lab perform the entire procedure.
The PRF Procedure: What You Can Expect During an Appointment
We are often asked what a PRF appointment looks like. Below, we explain what you can expect as a patient at MD Skin Lab when receiving a PRF Under Eye Rejuvenation Treatment.
Step 1: Your appointment will always begin with a consultation led by a physician injector,. The injector will take a detailed history of your under-eye concerns and medical history. Following this, your physician will share a tailored treatment plan.
Step 2: Your physician injector will take photos of the treatment area for reference so you can compare your results.
Step 3: Next is your blood draw. Your physician injector will withdraw a sample from your arm, which is then processed in a centrifuge to extract the platelet-rich fibrin.
Step 4: The under-eye area is cleansed, and the concentrated PRF is carefully injected into the designated treatment zones. For added comfort, Pronox (laughing gas) is available for pain management. This is optional.
Step 5: Last but not least is your aftercare; your physician will explain how to care for the treated area and answer any questions you may have.
You can expect the entire procedure to take between 30-45 minutes.
What Can You Expect After a PRF Under Eye Rejuvenation Treatment?
Post-treatment, you may experience mild discomfort like swelling or redness in the treated area, which should subside within a few days. We always recommend using SPF to protect your under-eye area from the sun and avoid abrasive skin products. Your physician will provide aftercare instructions and a tailored plan to achieve your desired results.
How Many Sessions Are Needed to See Results?
PRF Under Eye Rejuvenation results are not immediate, as the treatment works by stimulating natural collagen production. Typically, 3 sessions are required initially, spaced a month apart. Noticeable improvements can be seen 4 to 6 months after the initial treatment. Maintenance sessions may be recommended every 3 to 6 months to sustain the results. Below is an example of the results after one treatment versus two treatments.
Should I Pick Under-Eye Fillers or PRF Under-Eye Rejuvenation?
Deciding between under-eye fillers and PRF under-eye rejuvenation can be challenging, as both treatments offer unique benefits for addressing under-eye concerns such as dark circles, puffiness, and fine lines. To determine the best option for you, it's essential to understand how each treatment works and what specific issues it targets. We’ll break down each one below to help simplify your decision-making process.
Under Eye Fillers: These are made of hyaluronic acid, which naturally occurs in the skin and helps retain moisture and volume. This treatment is excellent for individuals looking to add immediate volume to the under-eye area, smoothing out hollow spaces and reducing the appearance of dark circles. The benefits of under-eye fillers include:
- Immediate Results: Fillers provide instant volume and smoothness, with results visible right after the treatment.
- Long-Lasting Effects: Depending on the product used, results can last from 6 to 12 months.
- Minimal Downtime: The procedure is quick and requires little to no recovery time, making it easy to fit into a busy schedule.
Under-eye fillers are ideal for those who need quick, noticeable improvements and have significant volume loss or deep hollows under the eyes. However, under-eye fillers may not be suitable for everyone. Patients with significant environmental allergies, those who have trouble with fluid drainage under the eye, and patients with severe puffiness under the eye may experience complications such as increased puffiness from fillers. This is where PRF becomes an excellent alternative.
PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) Under Eye Rejuvenation: This is a more natural approach that uses your body's own platelets to stimulate collagen production and improve skin quality. This treatment is perfect for individuals seeking a gradual, long-term improvement in skin texture, tone, and overall rejuvenation. The benefits of PRF include:
- Natural Results: PRF uses your own blood, minimizing the risk of allergic reactions or adverse effects.
- Collagen Stimulation: The treatment promotes collagen production, leading to gradual improvements in skin firmness and elasticity.
- Minimal Downtime: Similar to fillers, PRF is minimally invasive and little to no downtime is required.
- Long-Term Benefits: Results develop over time as collagen production increases, providing a more natural enhancement.
- Natural Treatment: This is an all-natural treatment therefore, there are no possible complications.
PRF under eye rejuvenation is suitable for those who prefer a natural treatment method and are looking for gradual, long-term improvements rather than immediate volume.
Which Option Is Right for You?
The choice between under-eye fillers and PRF under-eye rejuvenation ultimately depends on your specific concerns and aesthetic goals. If you are looking for immediate, noticeable results and have significant volume loss under your eyes, under-eye fillers may be the better option.
However, PRF under-eye rejuvenation could be ideal if you prefer a natural approach that offers long-term skin rejuvenation and gradual improvements or if you aren’t a candidate for under-eye filler. Our experienced physicians at MD Skin Lab can help you determine the best treatment plan based on your needs and desired outcomes.
