PRF UNDEREYE TREATMENT
PREPARING FOR YOUR TREATMENT
Platelet Rich Fibrin treatments use the body’s healing mechanisms to create optimal conditions for rejuvenation. It is important to NOT inhibit inflammation. Therefore, please discontinue all anticoagulants 7 days prior to treatment. Including:
NSAIDS like Advil, Aleve, Aspirin. You may take Tylenol for pain control.
Supplements like fish oil, ginkgo, Vitamin E
Minimize or avoid alcohol 3 days prior to treatment
Hydration is very important before your appointment. It will give you a higher yield of PRF and it makes for an easier blood draw.
Please drink 8-10 8 ounce glasses of water the day before and 16 ounces of water 2 hours before your treatment.
AFTER YOUR TREATMENT
Please continue to discontinue all anticoagulants 7 days after treatment. Including:
NSAIDS like Advil, Aleve, Aspirin. You may take Tylenol for pain control.
Supplements like fish oil, ginkgo, Vitamin E
Minimize or avoid alcohol 3 days after treatment
Avoid using ice for pain control in the treatment area.
Do not touch, press, rub or manipulate the treated area(s) for at least 8 hours after your treatment.

Saunas, steam rooms and swimming
Vigorous exercise
IF YOU HAVE BRUISING:
Bruising is a common side effect for a PRF under eye treatment and should be expected.
Continue using your oral and topical Arnica and drinking pineapple juice. This will help clear the bruising quicker.
Avoid aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oil, ginkgo, St. John’s Wort, turmeric, vitamin E and alcohol for several days to prevent the bruises from getting worse.
Make up can cover bruising. Peach tones work well to cover purple bruising, while green tones can cover reds. There are also makeup kits on the market specifically for covering bruises.
IF YOU HAVE SWELLING:
Swelling is a common side effect with a PRF under eye treatment and should be expected. Swelling from the procedure may last up to a week. You can use cold compresses, take antihistamine medications like Zyrtec and sleep with an extra pillow to help.
RESULTS TAKE TIME.
