What is a PRF treatment?
PRF stands for Platelet Rich Fibrin. It is a 100% natural treatment that uses the body's own stem cells and growth factors to stimulate skin cell renewal.
By centrifuging blood drawn from your own arm, we obtain a clear liquid, plasma, which we then inject under the eyes. Seen as second generation PRP treatments, we use the body's own healing ability to improve skin tone and texture.
Here's what happens below the surface after a PRF injection:
- New blood vessels provide a fresh supply of nutrients, giving your skin a healthy glow
- Toxins, water retention and excess pigmentation can be removed
- Collagen and elastin proteins are repaired and increased, leading to improved skin elasticity, fullness and smoothness
- New formation of healthy fat cells is stimulated, which can help with lost volume
Basically, PRF treatments have been shown to significantly improve the quality of skin under the eyes:
- Reduction of fine lines and wrinkles
- Lighter skin tone with less discolouration
- Improved skin texture
- Firmer skin with less sagging
At Dr Nina's clinic in Gothenburg, PRF injections in the under-eye area are a popular treatment to provide a general refreshment and help with tired eyes.
The PRF process for under-eye treatments
Every PRF treatment starts with a consultation.
Dr Nina's qualified staff will have a conversation with you to understand your goals and concerns, and examine the area under your eyes so that a customised treatment plan can be developed.
During your PRF treatment with us in Gothenburg, we will draw some blood from your arm crease. It is good if you drink plenty of water the day before your treatment so that you are not dehydrated.
We then centrifuge the blood to obtain the plasma. The plasma contains a high concentration of all the beneficial substances that are so effective. We then inject this clear liquid under the eyes.
After PRF is injected into the skin layer, it will repair collagen and elastin. Collagen and elastin help your skin regain its elasticity and fullness.
PRF vs. Fillers
PRF and Fillers tear trough suits different candidates. PRF is best for those with sagging skin under the eyes and wrinkle problems. It's also suitable for those who don't have very deep under-eye circles but still want an improvement in skin quality.
Fillers, on the other hand, are best for those who have problems with hollowness and loss of volume under the eyes in particular. Fillers are better than PRF for restoring volume.
