3 months post 3rd PRF

WORTH IT$599
This is a pic update of my under eyes after my 3rd PRF treatment . There is improvement in texture and color but nothing dramatic . Maybe if I had more than 3 treatments done I would see better results ?

Did you notice any more volume in the under eye area afterward?
No, unfortunately.
I noticed you also had said that you had previously had under eye filler dissolved. Do you think your dark circles got worse after the filler was dissolved? When you say there was an improvement in texture, do you mean less wrinkles? I am trying PRF...two sessions to start with and then it is recommended that I continue one or two treatments yearly. also your photos have very different lighting, but from what I can tell they do seem a bit lighter in color and less noticeable that your earlier pics
Good question .. after the filler was dissolved I didn’t notice any changes . Which leads me to believe that I’m just naturally “puffy” and that there was no filler left over to dissolve .

When I say texture I mean the skin appears tighter and less “tired looking”

There was definitely overall improvement - it just wasn’t as dramatic as I was hoping for. Best of luck to you and with your upcoming PRF treatments!
Thanks and thank you for sharing your experience! Just wondering if you think that since you’re at the one year mark, you may benefit from another treatment? Idk what they recommended to you, but I was told to continue with the benefits I should do it once or twice yearly.
how long would this procedure last?

Post 2nd Treatment

Subtle improvements in color and texture 6 weeks post the 2nd treatment. Im waiting until early Jan to post the after pic of the 3rd treatment.
I spaced my treatments out over a longer period that what is recommended.
I have continued with micro needling, and light peels. Threads were recommended but I want to wait to see the PRF results before I do more.
Drinking coconut water the day before and day of may have had a positive impact on the quanity of fibrin available.

Coconut water?? How did you hear about that? Thanks
I found out about coconut water by a happy accident. Before PRF I tried water + electrolytes, alkaline water but coconut watee gave me the best results when I had my blood drawn for the treatment.
How are your eyes doing now? I had a consult with Dr Kusman today and scheduled fir this is 2 weeks. Would you recommend?
Did you get it done? How are you doing?
Did you have your third treatment?
Yes, I had all 3 treatments. There were subtle improvements but nothing dramatic... I’m undecided if I think it was “worth it”

7 weeks post PRF for under eye hollows

7 weeks post and I can see an improvement in fine lines and the hollows appear fuller. I feel like there is a slight improvement in the discoloration but nothing dramatic. I am going to have a follow-up treatment and I will post photos 6-8 weeks after.

Thx U
hi there
i don't see that much change to the contour of your tear troughs.
did the procedure improve colour mainly? thanks
Hello.. The 2nd treatment helped with color/texture but nothing dramatic. Ill post the results of the 3rd ( recommended ) treatment in early Jan
whoa!! i notice a difference. did you just do PRP or did you do fillers too??
Just PRF. I have tried Juviderm in the past but I didn't like the results and had it dissolved
sorry to say but i don't see a difference... either in terms of volume or colour. this treatment seems to be a gimmick. i also have dark under eyes. filler made them worse - though it flattened out the hollows it has caused severe discolouration that i have had to live with for years. i tried carboxy therapy, it made no difference. I was hopeful about PRP and PRF but have not seen any dramatic results. microfat or nanofat might be an option though the former apparently can have severe complications and the latter is still a surgical procedure and might have no results.
PrF you do not see results immediately. It’s an amazing treatment and you do see phenomenal results over a period of time. It stimulates your natural collegan. I mercifully look after my skin .. and PRF has done wonders.. you notice results after about 4-6 weeks and should have 3 sessions apart ..
