Under Eye PRF in Alpharetta
PRF is platelet rich fibrin, spun from a small sample of your own blood with no anticoagulant and nothing added. It forms a soft fibrin scaffold that releases growth factors slowly over several days, which is the main way it differs from PRP.

- Uses only your own blood, so there is nothing synthetic and no allergic risk.
- Thickens delicate under eye skin, which reduces how much of the underlying vessel shows through.
- Adds no volume and creates no risk of puffiness, which is the common complaint after under eye filler.
Before & After
Before
AfterSkin texture and tone improved across a 3 session PRF series. Collagen builds over weeks 8 to 12.
What Under Eye PRF Is and How It Works
PRF IS PLATELET RICH FIBRIN, SPUN FROM YOUR OWN BLOOD WITH NOTHING ADDED. A small draw goes into the centrifuge at a lower speed than PRP, and without the anticoagulant PRP requires. What separates out is a soft fibrin scaffold holding your platelets and white cells rather than a thin plasma layer.
That scaffold is the point. It holds the growth factors in place under the thin skin beneath your eyes and releases them slowly across several days instead of all at once, which is why PRF suits patients whose skin needs a longer, gentler stimulus.
What it will not do is fill a hollow. PRF thickens the skin and improves its quality. If your darkness comes from genuine volume loss or from pigment sitting in the skin, PRF is the wrong treatment and we will tell you at consultation.

Is PRF right for you?
PRF suits a specific under eye problem and not others. Here is what we look for, and what we would tell you honestly at consultation.
PRF vs. PRP
PRF and PRP both come from your own blood and both work by delivering growth factors to thin under eye skin. The difference is how they are prepared. PRP is spun fast with an anticoagulant and releases its growth factors quickly. PRF is spun slower with nothing added, so it clots naturally into a fibrin scaffold and releases growth factors gradually over several days. Neither adds volume.
Both are autologous, meaning everything injected comes from your own blood. Your provider will recommend one over the other based on your skin and how you have responded to previous treatment.

What to Expect
We book a full hour for an under eye PRF appointment. Here is what to expect, from the blood draw and numbing through the injections and your two week follow up.
- 1
Preparation (before your visit)
Hydrate well the day before and the morning of, since it makes the draw easier and improves the yield. Eat a full meal beforehand. Avoid alcohol for 24 hours and anti inflammatories such as ibuprofen for several days, since they blunt the platelet response.
- 2
Consultation and assessment
Your provider determines why your under eyes look dark. Thin skin, hollowing and pigment look similar and are treated completely differently, so this step decides whether PRP is even the right treatment.
- 3
The blood draw (5 minutes)
A small draw comparable to a routine blood test. It goes straight into the centrifuge, which separates the platelet rich layer while your skin is being numbed.
- 4
Numbing (about 20 minutes)
Topical numbing is applied under the eyes and left to take full effect. This area is sensitive and we do not rush it.
- 5
The injections (10 to 15 minutes)
PRP is placed in small deposits beneath the eyes using a fine needle or a blunt cannula. Most patients describe brief stinging. Bruising here is common and we will tell you that before, not after. Before you leave, our physician checks in on you and reviews the result.
- 6
Your two week follow up
We book a two week review for every patient to check healing and confirm the plan for your series. Visible change comes later, which is the honest trade. Collagen builds over eight to twelve weeks and keeps improving across the series, and most patients need three sessions before judging the result.
Under Eye PRF Cost in Alpharetta
PRF is priced per session and most patients need a series of three, spaced about four weeks apart. What you pay depends on how many sessions your provider recommends after assessing the skin.

Start the response
One session begins collagen building but produces little visible change on its own. We are upfront that this treatment works through accumulation.
4 to 6 wk
Build the series
Three sessions spaced four to six weeks apart. Each adds to the collagen laid down by the last, which is where the visible improvement comes from.
1 / yr
Ongoing maintenance
After the series, an annual session maintains the result. Under eye improvement tends to hold well once the skin has genuinely thickened.

Your Journey, Continued
PRF improves the quality and thickness of under eye skin. It does not fill a hollow, lift a brow or treat pigment, which is why it is often planned alongside something that does.
