PRP, PRF, & PRFM: Under-eye Rejuvenation
The under-eye region is a delicate area that is particularly susceptible to a range of cosmetic challenges including puffiness, discoloration, thin or loose skin, hollowing, and expression lines.
As innovations within aesthetic medicine continue to emerge, some treatments have garnered more attention for their natural approach and promising results.
PRFM injections in the under-eye area is a wonderful way to rejuvenate our appearance. The treatment is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that uses a concentrated solution of platelets and fibrin from your blood to assist with the signs of aging for optimal rejuvenation. PRFM is 100% natural and requires no additives or anticoagulants allowing for a slower release of growth factors, providing sustained benefits over time.
The PRFM treatment process involves drawing a small amount of blood, processing it to isolate the PRFM, and injecting the solution into the under-eye area. The injections are carefully administered to target specific concerns, ensuring natural and gradual improvements.
Utilizing platelet-rich plasma rejuvenates the skin by:
Generating new collagen and elastin
Increases elasticity to counteract sagging skin
Strengthens, tightens, firms, and volumizes the skin
Improves skin texture and tone
Enhancing blood circulation
Brightens skin tone and reduces the appearance of dark circles
Reducing puffiness
Reduces inflammation and swelling
Patients typically see results within a few weeks with continued improvements over time. Most patients require 2-3 treatments spaced out 4-6 weeks for optimal treatment. As a result, patients notice improvements in the appearance of hollows, texture, tone, fine lines, and puffiness beneath the eyes for a smoother, more revitalized appearance. The effects can last up to 12 months or longer.
Side effects are generally mild and may include bruising, swelling, and redness which typically resolves within a few days.
