To help you get the best results from your PRF Under-Eye Filler treatment, please review and follow the pre-care checklist below.
Prior to your appointment
- Avoid alcohol for 24–48 hours before your appointment (reduces risk of bruising and swelling).
- Discontinue blood-thinning medications/supplements for 5–7 days prior (unless prescribed by your doctor). This includes aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oil, vitamin E, and ginkgo biloba.
- Drink at least 64 oz of water the day before and day of your appointment to optimize PRF quality.
- Eat a full meal 2–3 hours before your visit (do not arrive fasted — low blood sugar can cause faintness during the blood draw).
- Arrive with clean under-eye skin (no makeup, concealer, eye cream, or sunscreen).
- Avoid retinoids or active eye serums for 3–5 days before treatment.
- Reschedule if you are sick, recently finished antibiotics, or have an active infection.
- If you are iron-deficient or anemic, PRF results may be less optimal — notify your provider.
Notify your provider if
- You are pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning pregnancy.
- You have a history of keloid scarring or bleeding disorders.
- You have had any recent eye infections, styes, or procedures.
- You have used Accutane within the past 6 months.
What to expect
- A small amount of blood will be drawn from your arm to prepare PRF, similar to a routine lab draw.
- The under-eye area will be numbed with topical anesthetic for your comfort.
- You may experience mild swelling, bruising, or redness for 2–5 days post-treatment.
- Because PRF is your own biologic material, there is no risk of allergy.
- Initial improvement is visible within 1–2 weeks, with optimal results developing over 2–3 months.
- A series of 2–3 treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart is typically recommended for best results.
