Under-Eye PRF/PRP Treatment in Brookline, MA
The delicate under-eye area is often one of the first places to show signs of aging. Volume loss, dark circles, crepey skin, and a tired appearance can develop over time, even when you’re well-rested. While traditional dermal fillers remain a popular option for some patients, others are looking for a more natural approach to under-eye rejuvenation.
At Aida Medical Aesthetics, we offer under-eye PRF and PRP treatments to help improve skin quality, stimulate collagen production, and support tissue regeneration beneath the eyes. By harnessing your body’s own natural growth factors, these regenerative treatments can help create a smoother, brighter, and more refreshed appearance without surgery.
What is Under-Eye PRF/PRP?
Under-eye PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) and PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) are regenerative treatments that use components derived from your own blood to support collagen production and tissue renewal beneath the eyes. These treatments are rich in growth factors that stimulate the body’s natural healing processes, making them a popular option for patients seeking a more natural approach to under-eye rejuvenation.
After a small blood sample is collected, it is processed to concentrate platelets and growth factors, then carefully injected into the under-eye area. Once introduced into the skin, these regenerative components work to support collagen production, improve skin quality, and enhance the appearance of the delicate tissue beneath the eyes. Because PRF and PRP are derived from your own blood, they offer a natural alternative to synthetic products and surgical procedures.
What Can Under-Eye PRF/PRP Treat?
The skin beneath the eyes is thinner and more delicate than the skin on other areas of the face, making it especially susceptible to visible signs of aging. As collagen production naturally declines over time, patients may begin to notice hollows beneath the eyes, dark circles, fine lines, crepey skin, and a persistent tired appearance.

Frequently Asked Questions About Under-Eye PRP/PRF
The under-eye area is one of the most delicate and challenging areas to treat, which is why many patients have questions about what PRF and PRP can realistically accomplish. Below, we’ve answered some of the most common questions about what you can expect from regenerative under-eye rejuvenation.
PRF and under-eye filler serve different purposes, so one is not necessarily better than the other. Dermal fillers are designed to immediately restore lost volume beneath the eyes, making them a popular option for patients with noticeable hollows or tear troughs. PRF, on the other hand, works by stimulating the body’s natural regenerative processes to improve skin quality, collagen production, and tissue health over time.
Patients seeking a more natural approach to under-eye rejuvenation or primarily concerned with skin texture, crepey skin, or dark circles may be good candidates for PRF.
In some cases, combining regenerative treatments with filler may provide the most comprehensive results. During your consultation, your provider can determine which approach best aligns with your anatomy and aesthetic goals.
Under-eye PRF may be a good option for patients who are concerned about dark circles, thinning skin, fine lines, or mild under-eye hollows. It’s particularly appealing to individuals who want to improve the appearance of the under-eye area using their body’s own natural growth factors rather than synthetic fillers.
The best way to determine whether under-eye PRF is right for you is through a personalized consultation. During your appointment, we’ll evaluate your concerns, skin quality, and overall goals to recommend the most appropriate treatment plan.
Yes, PRF may help improve the appearance of certain types of dark circles. Because PRF contains growth factors that support collagen production, improved circulation, and tissue regeneration, it can strengthen the delicate skin beneath the eyes over time.
It’s important to understand that dark circles can have multiple causes, including genetics, pigmentation, volume loss, thinning skin, and lifestyle factors. During your consultation, we’ll determine whether PRF is likely to be effective for your specific type of under-eye discoloration.
Results develop gradually as your body produces new collagen and regenerates tissue in the treated area. While some patients begin noticing subtle improvements within a few weeks, the most significant changes become visible over the following months as the regenerative process continues.
Both PRP and PRF are regenerative treatments derived from your own blood and are used to support collagen production and tissue rejuvenation. However, PRF contains a higher concentration of fibrin and is processed differently, allowing growth factors to be released more gradually over time.
Both treatments can be effective for under-eye rejuvenation, and the best option depends on your individual concerns, anatomy, and treatment goals. During your consultation, we’ll discuss the differences between PRP and PRF and recommend the approach that is most appropriate for achieving your desired results.
