The platelets attach to the fibrin network and release the growth factors that are responsible for creating new skin cells, collagen, and blood vessels. Compared to PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma), PRF has a higher concentration of platelets, fibrin, and white blood cells, along with a small amount of stem cells.

The growth factors found in PRF are key to helping reverse the telltale signs of aging. The blood is then spun in a centrifuge, which separates out the PRF (platelet rich fibrin). Your treatment begins with a blood draw, no different than the one you might have at a lab. PRF under eye filler is a treatment that involves the use of your body’s own platelets and contains very high concentrations white blood cells, fibrin and a small amount of stem cells found circulating in our bloodstreams. PRF, or Platelet Rich Fibrin is quickly becoming an integral aspect of cosmetic treatments.
What is PRF under eye filler and how does it work? We would love to have the opportunity to work with you for under eye filler in Portland. Hyaluronic acid by nature attracts water which is an issue under the eye and leads to a fake look which we want to avoid. After 20 years of experience, we start with PRF injections and add hyaluronic acid fillers under the eye if needed. It is one of the most challenging areas that needs caution, experience, and in many cases surgery to improve. Injectors want to learn more about perfecting and treating it, and patients seek the perfect under eye look by the scores. This a complex area with thin skin and a dynamic component. We use multiple techniques at our practice and the choice often depends on skin damage, skin texture, bony changes and fat pad herniation. The under eye area, often called “tear trough”, is the first to age for most people.
