Brighten, don’t just fill.
Book your under-eye consultation to see if autologous PRP or PRF is right for you.
PRP / PRF Under Eyes (+/- Microneedling) - Autologous Regenerative Therapies
PRP Under Eyes London - PRF Treatment for Under-Eye Rejuvenation
From £250 per session
The under-eye region is one of the first areas to show fatigue and collagen loss.
At Dr Hans Clinics, we use autologous platelet concentrates; PRP or PRF to improve skin quality and hydration beneath the eyes, without altering facial structure or expression.
Treatments are offered only after a doctor-led consultation to ensure safety and suitability.

Why Patients Choose This Approach
● Doctor-performed injections using sterile techniques using a fine gauge needle or a cannula.
● Individualised concentration and placement – no standardised “tear trough filler” dosing.
● Documented improvement in dermal quality via Quantificare imaging.
● Honest guidance: Results vary and are subtle, not filler-like or instant.

How It Works
● A small amount of blood is drawn and centrifuged to isolate platelet-rich plasma (PRP) or fibrin (PRF).
● Platelets release growth factors that signal fibroblasts to remodel collagen and support micro-circulation.
● The plasma is gently injected into the periorbital skin or used post-microneedling, depending on indication.

Evidence Summary
● Clinical studies show improvement in fine lines and crepiness with PRP around the eyes; pigmentation outcomes are variable.
● PRF may provide a more sustained release of growth factors compared to PRP, though data remain limited.
● Mechanistically supported by platelet-derived factors (PDGF, TGF-β, VEGF) that enhance dermal matrix turnover.

Indications We May Consider
● Crepiness or fine lines in the lower eyelid area.
● Mild pigmentation or dullness related to dermal thinning.
● Early hollowing where filler may be unsafe or unnecessary.
When we may not recommend it:
● Advanced fat-pad prolapse or deep hollows – better addressed surgically or with structural fillers.
● Expectation of instant brightening – pigment changes are variable and gradual.
● Mild pigmentation or dullness related to dermal thinning.
● Early hollowing where filler may be unsafe or unnecessary.
When we may not recommend it:
● Advanced fat-pad prolapse or deep hollows – better addressed surgically or with structural fillers.
● Expectation of instant brightening – pigment changes are variable and gradual.
Safety & Downtime
● Mild swelling or redness for 24 – 48 h; makeup may be worn the next day.
● Bruising risk is minimal with cannula technique.
● Not suitable for : Pregnancy, breastfeeding, recent isotretinoin, bleeding disorders, or skin infection.
● Bruising risk is minimal with cannula technique.
● Not suitable for : Pregnancy, breastfeeding, recent isotretinoin, bleeding disorders, or skin infection.
What to Expect
● 1 – 2 weeks: Skin feels more hydrated.
● 4 – 8 weeks: Improvement in texture and fine lines.
● 3 – 6 months: Review and consider maintenance if beneficial.

Alternatives We May Discuss
● Polynucleotides (PDRN/PN) – for cellular regeneration.
● Biofiller or hyaluronic/ amino acid skin boosters – if structure or hydration needs more support.
● Tixel or microneedling – for tightening or pigmentation irregularities.

FAQ'S
What is PRP under-eyes?
Your own platelets concentrated and injected under the eyes to stimulate collagen and improve skin quality.
Which technique is used?
Either cannula or micro-droplet injections, chosen based on safety and anatomy.
How many sessions do I need?
Usually 3, spaced 4–6 weeks apart.
Can it remove dark circles?
Best for crepiness/texture; pigmentation-related dark circles need other treatments.
Is it safe?
Yes, when performed by a trained doctor under sterile conditions. Risks include swelling, bruising, rarely infection.

PRP vs PRF – What’s the Difference?
Both PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) and PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) are autologous (from your own blood) and aim to deliver platelets, growth factors, and regenerative cells into the skin or scalp.
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma)
- Prepared with anticoagulant and higher centrifuge speeds.
- Produces a clear plasma with concentrated platelets.
- Growth factors are released rapidly after injection.
- Evidence: widely studied in skin and hair; reviews show modest but reproducible improvements in texture, fine lines, and hair density in suitable patients.
PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin)
- No anticoagulant; spun at lower speeds.
- Forms a fibrin matrix that traps platelets, leukocytes, and circulating stem-cell-like cells.
- Growth factors are released more slowly and over a longer period.
- Evidence: early studies suggest PRF may provide a more sustained regenerative effect compared with PRP, but long-term head-to-head trials are still limited.
Which is better?
- Current evidence suggests PRP remains the most established with the largest body of clinical research, especially for skin and hair.
- PRF is emerging and biologically plausible for sustained release, but published human studies are fewer and results vary.
- Choice depends on your treatment goals, tissue quality, and clinician recommendation – both are offered at the same price in our clinic.
