Welcome to Fresh Aesthetics!
At Fresh Aesthetics, we are dedicated to offering the most advanced and effective aesthetic treatments to help you look and feel your best. One of the common concerns we address is under-eye bags, which can make you look tired and older than you feel. Our Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) and Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) treatments provide innovative solutions to rejuvenate the under-eye area. In this blog, we’ll explore how PRP and PRF can help you achieve a fresher, more youthful appearance, with real-life before and after images to showcase the results.
Understanding PRP and PRF
What is PRP?
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy harnesses the healing power of your own blood to rejuvenate your skin. PRP is created by drawing a small amount of blood, which is then processed to concentrate the platelets. These platelets are rich in growth factors that stimulate collagen production and promote tissue regeneration. The PRP is injected into the under-eye area to reduce puffiness and improve skin texture.
What is PRF?
Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) is a next-generation treatment that builds on the benefits of PRP. PRF is produced using a slower centrifugation process, which results in a fibrin matrix that traps more platelets and growth factors. This matrix releases growth factors more gradually, providing a longer-lasting effect. PRF is also injected into the under-eye area to enhance skin renewal and reduce the appearance of bags.
My Experience with PRP and PRF at Fresh Aesthetics
Initial Consultation
My journey to fresher eyes began with a consultation at Fresh Aesthetics. The knowledgeable team took the time to understand my concerns about under-eye bags and explained how PRP and PRF treatments could help. They assessed my skin and outlined the expected results and the number of sessions required.
The Procedure
The PRP and PRF treatments were simple and efficient:
- Blood Draw: A small amount of blood was drawn from my arm.
- Processing: The blood sample was processed using a centrifuge to separate the platelets for PRP or create the fibrin matrix for PRF.
- Injection: The concentrated platelets or fibrin matrix were precisely injected into the under-eye area.
Before and After Images

Preparing for PRP and PRF Under-Eye Bag Treatment at Fresh Aesthetics
If you’re considering PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) or PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) treatments for under-eye bags, it’s important to properly prepare to ensure the best possible results. At Fresh Aesthetics, we want to make sure you are fully informed and ready for your treatment. Here are some steps you can take to prepare for your PRP or PRF under-eye bag treatment:
1. Consultation with a Specialist
Before your treatment, schedule a consultation with one of our qualified professionals at Fresh Aesthetics. During this consultation, we will assess your skin and discuss your medical history, including any medications or supplements you are taking. This is also a great opportunity to ask any questions you may have about the procedure.
2. Avoid Blood Thinners
In the days leading up to your treatment, avoid taking any blood-thinning medications or supplements, such as:
- Aspirin
- Ibuprofen
- Naproxen
- Vitamin E
- Fish oil
- Certain herbal supplements (e.g., garlic, ginkgo biloba, ginseng)
These substances can increase the risk of bruising and bleeding during and after the procedure. If you are on prescription blood thinners, consult your doctor before stopping any medication.
3. Stay Hydrated
Proper hydration is crucial for optimal blood flow and overall health. Drink plenty of water in the days leading up to your treatment to ensure your body is well-hydrated.
4. Avoid Alcohol and Caffeine
Alcohol and caffeine can dehydrate your body and affect the healing process. Avoid consuming alcohol and limit caffeine intake for at least 24 hours before your treatment.
5. Maintain a Healthy Diet
Eating a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins can support your body’s healing processes. Avoid foods high in sugar and processed ingredients, as they can contribute to inflammation.
6. Get Adequate Sleep
Ensure you get plenty of rest in the days leading up to your treatment. Proper sleep helps your body to heal and rejuvenate more effectively.
7. Avoid Sun Exposure
Excessive sun exposure can damage your skin and affect the results of your treatment. Wear sunscreen and avoid prolonged sun exposure in the week leading up to your appointment.
8. Plan for Recovery Time
While PRP and PRF treatments are minimally invasive, you may experience some swelling and bruising after the procedure. Plan your schedule accordingly, allowing some downtime to recover if needed.
9. Cleanse Your Skin
On the day of your treatment, cleanse your face thoroughly to remove any makeup, oils, or impurities. Arrive with a clean face to ensure the best possible environment for the procedure.
10. Follow Pre-Treatment Instructions
Your specialist at Fresh Aesthetics will provide you with specific pre-treatment instructions tailored to your individual needs. Follow these instructions carefully to ensure the best results and minimize any potential side effects.
