FAQ’S PRF UNDER-EYES

What is PRF injection under the eyes?

PRF stands for Platelet Rich Fibrin and is derived from your own blood. The solution contains a concentrated mix of fibrin, growth factors, and white blood cells. Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) under-eye is a method that uses platelets and other growth factors found in the body. Indeed, PRF includes a high concentration of different cytokines that aid in tissue regeneration and stem cell repair.

When injected into the targeted areas, PRF can stimulate the natural healing process. As a result, this treatment can improve skin tone, texture, and volume.

How is the Platelet-Rich Fibrin eye procedure?

Immediately before your treatment, a small amount of blood is drawn and placed into a specialized centrifuge that separates PRF from red blood cells. The end result is your unique PRF.  The solution is then injected into the desired area. Once injected, the platelets bind with the fibrin scaffold, releasing growth factors as the PRF is activated. The healing process begins. This helps create new collagen production, skin cell growth, and blood vessel to develop.

In a way, think of PRF injections as your unique, personal, natural skin rejuvenation serum.

What Causes Sunken Eyes?

As the body ages, multiple factors cause sunken or hollow eyes. Inevitably, the body will lose bone density and fat in the face, reducing the structure support. A reduced amount of collagen results in the skin becoming thinner. This is part of the natural ageing process, and topical creams will simply not work. Here, enters PRF treatment to help sunken-looking eyes.

What Causes Dark Circles?

Dark circles refer to visible darker pigmentation of the infra-orbital areas.  This condition makes people look tired and can affect emotionally people. Even though it is more a cosmetic concern rather than a medical one, it still affects millions of people of both sexes across the World.  Dark Circles touches people of fairer and darker skin.

What are the benefits of PRF under-eye?

PRF candidates are seeking smoother, younger skin in particular under the eyes area. PRF has been shown to provide rejuvenating effects for the skin by boosting collagen production and improving skin elasticity.

Specifically, PRF injections are great for soft facial tissue such as the delicate skin under the eyes. An injection of PRF to the eye hollows can improve skin texture and tone plus reduce fine lines. Initially, the injection improves pigmentation and even acts as a temporary subdermal volumiser.

The fact is that the under-eye skin is among the thinnest on the body and most delicate. Thus, it is often the first area to show signs of ageing, and PRF injections can tighten loose under-eye skin and rejuvenate this delicate area in a natural way.

How is PRF different from PRP in terms of processing and benefits?

Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) differ in their processing methods and resulting benefits. PRF products are spun at a lower speed compared to PRP, which helps retain more white blood cells and stem cells within the platelet layer collected for treatment. This preserves more healing factors in PRF than in PRP. The lower spin speed causes less trauma to blood cells, allowing more stem cells to be present in the final PRF product. In terms of benefits, PRF typically contains a higher concentration of platelets than PRP. While an ideal platelet concentration for PRP is between 2-5 times the levels found in the body, some studies say that PRF products contain approximately 10 times the platelet concentration naturally present. This higher platelet concentration in PRF may lead to more effective treatment of tissue damage. But most importantly, we consider PRF more suitable and more efficient for the under-eyes area.
