Under-Eye PRF

Frequently Asked Questions

Here are answers to commonly asked questions by patients seeking treatment with Skin Rejuvenation.

  • How much downtime should I expect?
    Downtime is minimal. Most patients experience:

    • redness similar to a sunburn for 24–48 hours

    • mild dryness or flaking as the skin renews

    Makeup can usually be worn the next day, and most normal activities can be resumed the same day. We provide simple aftercare instructions to support healing.
  • Do you treat the neck?
    Yes. RF microneedling for crepey skin and wrinkle relaxers for neck bands are both options.
  • What does RF microneedling do?
    It combines ultrafine needles with radiofrequency heat. The needles trigger your skin's repair response and the heat encourages existing collagen to contract and new collagen to form. Over the following months, skin typically becomes firmer, smoother and more even.
  • Is it an injection?
    No. The exosome serum is applied to the skin immediately after microneedling, as part of the same visit.
  • Do I treat acne or scars first?
    Active, inflamed acne is controlled first. Scar treatments are then planned once the skin is calm.
  • Can I have this instead of filler?
    They do different jobs. PRF supports skin quality; filler adds volume. Some patients use PRF first and find they want less filler afterwards.

Under-Eye PRF Rejuvenation

Your Own Blood • Minimally Invasive • Supports Collagen Remodeling

A natural alternative to fillers for under-eye hollowness, dark circles, fine lines and crepey skin.

The skin under the eyes is the thinnest on the face and the first to show tiredness. Filler can help, but here it can also go wrong – puffiness, a bluish tint, a lumpy look. PRF or PRP, prepared from your own blood, supports skin quality from within rather than filling the space with a synthetic gel. It is a minimally invasive injection treatment.

Performed by our physician-led team at Valoura Med Spa in Savoy, a short drive from Champaign and Urbana.

WHAT UNDER-EYE PRF TREATS

Best for:

  • ✓ Dark circles caused by thin skin and visible vessels
  • ✓ Mild to moderate hollowness (tear troughs)
  • ✓ Fine lines and crepey texture
  • ✓ Tired, dull under-eye skin
  • ✓ Patients who want improvement without filler

Why Clients Choose It:

  • ✓ Prepared from your own blood
  • ✓ No donor or synthetic material is used
  • ✓ Gradual, natural-looking change

HOW IT WORKS

  1. Blood draw: a small blood sample is drawn from your arm.
  2. Preparation: it is spun to prepare PRF (platelet-rich fibrin) or PRP (platelet-rich plasma), depending on your treatment plan.
  3. Treatment: the concentrate is placed under the eye in small amounts with a fine cannula or needle.
  4. Over the following weeks: growth factors may support collagen production and remodeling, which may gradually improve skin quality, texture and the appearance of the under-eye area.

PRF AND PRP AT VALOURA

Both PRF and PRP are prepared from a patient's own blood and concentrate components involved in tissue repair and signaling. Differences in preparation affect their cellular composition, fibrin structure and handling characteristics. At Valoura, we use both PRP and PRF and select the approach based on the treatment area, procedure and individual patient.

A NOTE ON EVIDENCE

Studies of PRF and PRP in the under-eye area report improvements in skin thickness, dark circles and texture. The research is still growing and results vary between patients. We do not promise a specific outcome, and some patients need more than one session to see a change.

RESULTS TIMELINE

Typical Results Timeline

Every patient is different. These are typical ranges, not a promise, and your physician will set your plan.

  • ✓ Swelling settles: often within about a week
  • ✓ Skin quality and dark circles: commonly 4–8 weeks
  • ✓ Number of sessions: individualized – planned after your consultation
  • ✓ Maintenance: planned with you, depending on your response

WHO SHOULD WAIT

Please postpone or tell us if you:
  • ✓ Are pregnant
  • ✓ Have a blood clotting disorder or take blood thinners (discuss first)
  • ✓ Have an active infection near the eyes
  • ✓ Have certain blood or immune conditions

This list is a guide only. Our physician confirms suitability at your consultation.
