Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) is a treatment that contains platelets, fibrin, and natural proteins that help support your body’s healing process. When used beneath the eyes, PRF treatment may support collagen production and improve skin quality. It can help soften fine lines, reduce the appearance of dark circles, and improve the look and feel of thin, crepey under-eye skin over time.
At VLine Beauty Clinic, we use under-eye PRF for patients who want gradual, natural-looking improvement without surgery.
How Does PRF Under-Eye Treatment Work?
PRF works by supporting your body’s natural repair and renewal processes. During treatment, a small amount of blood is drawn. It is then placed in a centrifuge and processed to separate the platelet-rich fibrin from other blood components.
The resulting PRF contains platelets and growth factors that play a role in tissue repair. Your provider carefully injects the PRF into targeted areas beneath the eyes.
Once injected, PRF gradually releases growth factors. These signals can encourage collagen production and tissue renewal over time. Rather than simply filling the area, the goal is to improve the quality and appearance of the under-eye skin.
What Is the Difference Between PRF and PRP?
PRF and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) both use components from your own blood, but they are prepared differently.
PRP is typically a liquid platelet concentrate. PRF is prepared in a way that allows a natural fibrin matrix to form. This matrix holds platelets and white blood cells and gradually releases natural growth factors.
PRP delivers platelet-derived growth factors more quickly. PRF is a popular option for patients looking to improve skin quality in delicate areas such as under the eyes.
