PRF Treatments
Eye Rejuvenation
PRF treatments are a wonderful way to improve the appearance of your entire eye area, naturally.
PRF is the next generation of plasma therapy, and contains no additives, making it a purely natural substance.
PRF very concentrated, making it extremely effective for the delicate areas under and around the eyes where signs of ageing start to appear.
PRF injections have been shown to significantly improve skin quality under and around the eyes:
- Reduces fine lines and wrinkles
- Brightens skin tone
- Decreases dark circles
- Decreases hollowness
- Improves skin texture
- Firms skin and decreases laxity
PRF is typically performed as a series of three treatments, spaced four to six weeks apart. Results are typically seen after six weeks from initial treatment.
Long-term effects may take up to three to four months to be noticed, and can last from six to 12 months. A repeat treatment is therefore required every six to 12 months to maintain results.
PRF vs Dermal Filler
PRF is entirely natural, and contains no additives or preservatives. This makes it safe for almost all patients, with little to no risk of allergic reactions, or vascular occlusions.
Another advantage PRF has over Dermal Filler, is that it truly rejuvenates and improves the areas under and around the eyes, unlike filler, which simply volumises by attracting water. Filler can also lead to under eye puffiness, and a bluish discolouration under the eyes (known as the Tyndal effect).
There has been a move away from using Dermal Filler under the eyes, and although there are greater risks from using Dermal Filler, it does give instant, more dramatic results. A viable option may be to use both treatments together, either by:
· Rejuvenating the area with PRF first, followed by dermal filler (weeks or months later), should more volumisation be needed, or
· Injecting PFR weeks or months after Dermal Filler, to thin the filler out and provide rejuvenation.
Ultimately treatment depends solely on the individual patient’s needs, and will be explored and discussed during consultation.
Lips & Peri Oral Rejuvenation
PRF treatments are an effective way to treat the lips and peri oral area (area around the lips) in patients who are noticing decreased lip volume, deeper oral commissures, and vertical lip lines.
Considered to be the next generation of plasma therapy, PRF contains no additives, making this treatment a safe, natural and effective way to improve the appearance of the lip and peri oral area:
- Improves tissue quality of the lips and peri oral area
- Reduces fine lines and wrinkles around the mouth
- Increases redness of the lips
- Smooths the lip texture
PRF is typically performed as a series of three treatments, spaced four to six weeks apart. Results are typically seen after six weeks from initial treatment.
Long-term effects may take up to three to four months to be noticed, and can last from six to 12 months. A repeat treatment is therefore required every six to 12 months to maintain results.

Another advantage PRF has over Dermal Filler, is that it truly rejuvenates and improves the tissues of the lips and peri oral area unlike filler, which simply volumises by attracting water.
Too much filler used to treat vertical lip lines can lead to the infamous “duck lips” which is obvious and unattractive.
Also, many patients are seeking rejuvenation of the lips without adding volume.
Although there are greater risks from using Dermal Filler, it does give instant, more dramatic results. A viable option may be to use both treatments together, either by:
· Rejuvenating the area with PRF first, followed by dermal filler (weeks or months later), should more volumisation be desired, or
· Injecting PRF weeks or months after Dermal Filler, to provide rejuvenation without adding volume.
