Would PRF be effective in reducing my under eye bags? (photo)

Question

I'm 43 and look young for my age (people guess I'm 35) and have medium under eye bags which make me feel self conscious as I look like I haven't slept. I'm getting mixed advice about the effectiveness of PRF for reducing under eye bags. Is this an effective treatment to reduce under eye bags or should I consider RF? I know the only way to remove under eye bags fully is via surgery but I'm not ready for an invasive procedure. I just want the area to improve. Thank you

Hello A,You are a great candidate for EZ Gel PRF.  The treatment is 100% natural, the EZ Gel PRF is made from two tubes of your blood without anything added.  The tubes are centrifuged, one is heated to form the blood protein albumin, the other tube is cooled to form PRF.  When combined, an injectable gel is formed that is then injected with a cannula under the eyes in the hollows.  The volume benefit is immediate.  Stem cells and growth factors act over time to improve the quality of the skin, skin color, tone, and texture.  Ideally, patients have two treatments 6 to 8 weeks apart, and then one treatment per year for maintenance.  It is essential that you carefully choose your injecting physician for optimal results.  Feel free to contact our office to schedule a virtual consultation to answer any further concerns or questions.  
Good luck and be well.

Thank you for your question. You are correct, surgical intervention will give the best and longest lasting results. However, microneedling with RF could be a great minimally invasive alternative to help reduce the size of the festoons. PRF injections would likely not have much of an effect on them. I would recommend consulting with an experienced practitioner to address your concerns prior to booking an appointment. Best of luck!

Hi!Considering PRF injections would help with any discoloration in the tear trough area, as well as mask the puffiness your experiencing. If you don't already take a daily antihistamine, I strongly suggest doing so daily, as this will help minimize the swelling in the under eye area. Another recommendation would be radiofrequency microneedling, such as SylfirmX. This can be performed under the eyes to help skin texture and tightening. I hope this helps!Thank you!
