PRF FOR UNDER-EYE

 

Rejuvenate the under-eye area naturally. PRF stands for injectable platelet-rich fibrin and is an autologous blood concentrate. This treatment is 100% natural, free of additives and chemicals, and packed with powerful cells to help fight the sign of ageing, improve dark circles, tackle puffiness and slightly improve under-eye hollows.

 

Indeed, Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF) treatment is an all-natural solution used to improve the most difficult areas of the face i.e. the under-eye area. When injected  PRF can improve under-eye pigmentation and tone. In addition, this treatment also enhances skin firmness, texture, and thickness.

PRF UNDER-EYE PROCEDURE

 

Platelet Rich Fibrin is the second generation of autologous treatment and involves the use of your body’s own platelets. The Platelet Rich Fibrin contains very high concentrations of white blood cells, fibrin, and a small amount of stem cells. In this protocol, the platelets attach to the fibrin network and release growth factors responsible for creating new skin cells, collagen, and blood vessels. Once introduced back into the body, the cascade of healing and revitalization begins.

 

The treatment starts by taking a small amount of your own blood and then processing it in a special low-speed centrifuge.  Thus, this process separates the platelets, white cells, cytokines, and other growth factors.

 

After the blood draw and centrifugation, the substance is then injected into some area of the skin where the platelets will bind to a scaffold of fibrin. Subsequently, the growth factors are released gradually and slowly for up to one week.

 

RESULTS OF PRF UNDER-EYE

 

As a result, PRF under the eye is a 100% natural treatment that improves under-eye pigmentation, enhances slightly subdermal volume, reduces puffiness, and rejuvenates the delicate thin skin under the eye area. PRF under eyes filler improves fine lines and wrinkles.

 

After the treatment, it is possible to experience under-eye swelling or slight bruising. It is also possible that you will experience under-eye fullness for 3-5 days before it starts to dissipate. This said, you will notice visible results within the course of 1-2 months, as the structures and collagen under the eye gradually build.

 

Furthermore, this is a relatively painless procedure and we use the cannula technique for this treatment. If you want a natural and efficient under-eye rejuvenation treatment then look no further.

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.

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.

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.

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.
