1+ Year PRF Update - BEST, NATURAL treatment for under eyes | PRF - Platelet Rich Fibrin 

I can’t wait. Thanks for sharing

That’s outstanding! It’s amazing how natural, yet effective it is!

Really?

Yaayy I am so happy I found this video and your results as well🎉 I just had a birthday 46 now and do alot of facial exercises and microneedling has worked great for my acne scars. I am even more excited to get this procedure!!!!

You dummy

Wow! Good to know

Yikes....definitely good to know!!! Meaning....take time off work and life lol

Thank you so much, Hill. Made my heart so happy to read your comment. It seriously is one of my favorites!

She so is. I just adore Rachel.

@@amandawebster7244 how much more special can a girl feel? Thank you for making my day 🥰

Thank you, Jaebae ❤️

Hey there! Would you mind sharing the name of the med spa you're looking at?

Thank you, Schnecki! I can imagine that if I hated needles it would be a different ball game. You are a trooper to push through it!

@@RundownwithRachel i survived but it was even worse than last time and my whole face looks like i would be offered as a Hannibal meal. RPF on the entire face is too much pain. but I hope, i'll see some results soon. Thank you for your anti-aging videos. they always give me good insights and now I'm also an advocate in the story: how to age gracefully and slowlyyyy ;-)

@@schneckirella How I commend you!!!! Such a badass to push through your fear like that! Thankfully the hard part is behind you. Keep us posted with your results and thank you so much for the update!

Hi girl! how much did it cost? 😊

Girl right? I got my apt booked in a week. I’m so tired of caking on concealer just for it just make my under eyes look worse.

Yes! I am so with you! It is a GAMECHANGER! If only I could see what I would look like had I never done this…because I’ve been able to maintain with the PRP/PRF approach and wonder how weathered my under eyes would look without it!

​@@RundownwithRachelI'm getting it done next week!! Can't wait!!!

@@ShinySilverBunny it has become my all time favorite!

I had 4 rounds of PRF under my eyes (which were SUPER hollow and crepey), and they looked fantastic for about 3 months….now they’re getting hollow again 🥲. I’m so sad, it was such a game changer, but I don’t want to have to do it 3x/year. I’m just curious if that is just normal for some people?

@@julufitness7349 ugh I know. It’s effective but so expensive. Has me thinking “what would it take for me to draw my own blood and get my own centrifuge 😂”

do you recommend it ?

@@abbys7931 FASCINATING! Thank you!!!

Absolutely correct. Platelets like heat

Hey! Thank you so much for your kind words 🥰 I did do PRP (and don’t think I mentioned it either in the video but probably should have)- and I think the results are very similar. I’ve been told PRF is more effective but cannot say that I’ve noticed a difference between the two…There is always something on the horizon and now the latest thing is PRF gel which is apparently even better than PRF!

That’s such a great, loaded topic idea.I have NO SHORTAGE of skin care but the things that make the biggest difference are often the basic, simple things - including diet. Thank you so much, Danuta, I am going to put a lot of thought into that topic!

I saw a video about castor oil for bloating but I wanted to jump in and say I use it daily on my face and I feel like it helps with fine lines and fullness. Slightly, but enough for me to notice. I don’t think it’s permanent because I notice when I don’t use castor oil on a given day. But it works imo

Haha this is definitely not for those who can’t do needles. Although the PRF has more growth factors than stem cells, so I’ve read, probably worth me looking into further. Those growth factor products are insanely expensive but they are incredible. I’ve tried one from Hydropeptide (which I bought from Nordstrom given their amazing return policy) and I love it. Even though I bought it - I struggle to use it daily given I don’t want to have to buy it again. Makes zero sense I know 🤣. I really do wonder how much better the medical grade skin care products are over ones that claim to do the same thing, but aren’t considered medical grade.

I, like you, used to dread any process involving needles. I was afraid of vaccinations, blood lab work, etc. and would avoid them if I could. But one evening a bat flew into me out of nowhere. I was standing in my garden at dusk just minding my own business when it crashed into my neck and then immediately flew away. I think I had a small scratch...although I couldn't see anything, the area started itching later. Let me just say that when faced with a very good chance of death, that series of shots was a godsend, and I was very grateful that I could drive to a hospital and wait in the emergency room on 4 different days over the course of a couple of weeks to get the life-saving treatment. Coincidentally, this happened during the Covid days, so between that and the Covid vaccines, flu shots, and shingles shots (those are a doozy!) I am now officially not afraid of needles anymore, and it is SUCH A RELIEF! I very recently got my first botox injections and microneedling with PRF treatments. I will definitely be getting PRF injections under my eyes one day soon. We are so fortunate to be alive in this time and place!!

I know just what you mean. The results are not nearly as long as filler. I do find it’s kept the quality of my undereyes. The big reason I choose it over filler is because of migration and how dissolving filler has downsides like dissolving fat. Sometimes I wonder - what would I look like it I never did ANYTHING - that would be the big indicator of what’s worth it. If only I could have a peak in another dimension 😂

Angela! ❤️ Oh yes, I should have mentioned it in the video but I believe he actually developed the PRF EZ Gel technology! I don’t know how he keeps up with so much! Of course! BevelUp charges about $500 a session. I should check out what other spots are charging. You stay cool too! What a hot weekend it’s been. Goodness!

My injector in the UK says with ez gel because it’s thicker there is higher risk of a vascular occlusion. He also says PRP is better than PRF. I’ve heard differing opinions of PRP vs PRF. Currently doing PRP along with Morpheus 8. The most important part is your diet. If you’re not eating healthy foods, you’re wasting your money. My injector says my blood looks really good. I pay £700 in London for both the PRP and Morpheus 8.

I realize the lighting is off which is annoying but what impresses me is that the wrinkling is present in the before but not under the after. It’s important to be cautious and skeptical with any before and afters and so many of them are smoke in mirrors. That aside, I can tell you I pay my own money to do this and continue to do it because I love how natural the results are.

@@RundownwithRachel okay Rachel, I really appreciate your transparency and if you’re saying it definitely is less wrinkled even in the same lighting I trust you

@@heyyou9839 I completely know where you are coming from and I appreciate you calling that out - I probably should have clarified that. If you decide to get PRF just be sure to take progress photos and even video if you can. Sometimes it’s hard to see the difference when you see yourself everyday and it improves over time.

@@RundownwithRachel I’ve had PRP before, and I just had my first PRF on Saturday. I thought PRP was good, looking forward to PRF

@@heyyou9839 👏👏👏

Can I ask what your age is?

@@totorishop yes I’m 52

​@@rosebud8649how are you doing 2 weeks after? I'm 46 and getting this next week also with microneedling. I like how the nurse who's doing it has been very easy to talk to and ask questions. I may plan for 3x if I can get the PRF ez gel that would be awesome 👌 would you recommend this?

@@ShinySilverBunny My practitioner explained to me that for first 2 weeks, my skin would look hydrated and plumped but then will go back to how it was, but after 2nd and 3rd treatment will see the benefits fully. I’m getting to stage now where I’m ready for 2nd treatment but that’s in 2 weeks ☺️ keep you posted. Not sure about ez gel. Be good to hear how that is if you get that. 😊

@@rosebud8649any updates about the prf? Did the volume last?

Hey!!! I’m pretty certain it was a cannula! I continue to get PRF and recently did PRF gel. I’m definitely due to make another video here soon! This is one of the few treatments that is NATURAL and EFFECTIVE - I will continue to get it as I really think it continues to pay off.

@@RundownwithRachel thank you Rachel! Just subscribed so I keep up to date with your treatments.

@@TheMijas07 oh thank you! I should have something DEFINITELY before the end of the year.

The immediate effect afterwards is the look we are trying to achieve but within a few days it goes back to base line. The recommend 3-6 treatments. To answer, yes its normal the result will improve but only if you do the packaged treatment and ongoing upkeep.

How??😳😳😳

Theoretically, it should "cure" the hollows because it is helping your skin to build more elastin/fibrin/collagen which is why your skin holds up and looks plumper and healthy in your youth. But there is still the river of aging which is constantly running in the opposite direction that we are trying to push back against. I also believe PRF is one of the best ways to retain a youthful look and feel for longer, but eventually we will all succumb to aging. Best of luck with your journey!

@@shangobunni5 i'm only 28 though 😭 and i've had them my entire life sadly. I'm thinking if I catch them early enough it wont be as big a problem when I get older

@@juhadexcelsior That sounds like a good plan. I hope it works out well. :)

prf is better than prp

Its supposed to take a few months to see results for the collagen to grow and thicken the skin naturally. Have you noticed any imrovements since then x

You have to keep doing it so the collagen builds up. Also use prf not prp.

My provider recommended 3 treatments to see results

curious did you do follow u ptreatment? how is it now

Depends on your region. Look up local places if they offer it and find out! Probably worth it without repetitive botox!

It would definitely be much longer lasting but whether or not it's appropriate is another thing. I think it depends on the technique and if the issue is structural or not. If your under eye issues are due to a tear trough deformity removing fat can leave you with loose skin as there isn't enough support. Fat transposition is the better solution there. It's important to find a surgeon who can properly evaluate you in order to figure out what your specific needs are. And I'm not chatgpt I swear.

Yes! As a matter of fact I did it just a few weeks ago! I’ll be sharing my findings in a month or two once the results are realized!

@@RundownwithRachel that's great Rachel! Look forward to hearing about this.

Not yet, but want to!!!! Have you? 👀

@@RundownwithRachel 2 weeks away from it. I’ll take before and afters.

@@SophiaisPerfectupdates?

Def doesn’t last like a filler does that is for sure rather I see that it helps the quality of my skin. Recently tried PRF gel which is closer to the filler consistency and said to be more effective than traditional PRF yet still the results are far from what filler does. I just don’t like the long term consequences of filler and having to dissolve it. Now I’m exploring nutrition and seeing if that can influence any better. Might as well improve health along with looks if possible!

@@RundownwithRachelppl say the ha filler is better and lasts a whole year, but does it need to be dissolved after that year?

@@Sofwarriorsyess filler migrates over time and do not look plasent. It moves around and can migrate in to the eye bowl . Can look puffy and odd

@@alexander_no350 prf ez gel it is😂😂

Hey! I want to say when I first did it, I did notice a difference but full results are realized with 3. Another new option is PRF gel. Just be aware that it’s a long term play. It’s not like filler where it lasts for a long time. Instead really helps regenerate. There have been times where I bruised really bad and others where I didn’t at all! Avoid fish oil and things that can cause swelling leading up. But even doing that I’ve bruised badly at times. It’s been a toss up for me!

Try 3 round of forona smooth eyes

Try 3 round of fotona smooth eyes

Hey! It’s called PRF EZ Gel. I’ve had it done once and not able to say if it’s any better than traditional PRF. Dr. Rajani here on RU-vid has many videos on it which piqued my curiosity!

@@RundownwithRachel oh, only 1 session? And you saw such good results with that session! The lady I found (not many people do PRF gel in Canada) recommend I do three sessions....I wonder if this is needed or if I can see some benefit with one session since the gel is different from PRP, which they usually recommend doing 3 sessions of...

YOU MAY WANT TO CHECK WITH DR RICHARD WEISS IN NEWPORT. HE DOES SPECIFICALLY EYE PLASTIC SURGERY. DID MY LOWER LIDS 11 YEARS AGO

Reddy Aesthetics in Bixby Knolls area of Long Beach does PRP. I found her when she was also in Huntington Beach, but now she’s only on LA county. She has PRP only (cuz they’re different machines). I do want to try PRF or the gel next times around cuz i see they’re supposed to be better, but since I’ve been satisfied with the PRP for now and like Dr Reddy’s results I keep going back. Not too far depending on where you are in OC.😊

Thank you ! 😊

I know what you mean. It does require maintenance. Turns out in some countries it’s a lot more reasonable with price! May be worth getting a vacation along with it to rationalize the cost 😎

Yes! I have had times where I looked like I was beaten up! You’ll see a big difference in the swelling going down with another few days. Not helpful when you just want it to subside, but I have been there several times.

I had it done two days ago and I have little bumps 😩😩 Did this happen to you?

@@astridanielaab4200 not sure if the question is for me but I have been in those “is this normal” situations many times. May be worth contacting your provider for reassurance as that really helps!

hey curious how is it now? are you happy with the results?

I wish I was qualified to answer that. There is an app called RealSelf where you can view reviews on aesthetic procedures and even ask doctors questions. That may be a great place to start!

PRF. My place has PRF gel now so I’ll be trying it in the future!

Thank you, it was good to see the results were so good with only prf. My Dr suggested the gel but I don’t know if it will ultimately end up with the same results over time?

I haven’t had it there and lord knows I need it - which leads me to believe it isn’t as impactful there.

I just tried prf in nasal folds. It filled it out but I look chubby now lol

@@alicea9096 well chubby is beautiful

Yes

It can be uncomfortable but not painful. I find myself thinking during it that it’s gotta be tough for people who have needle phobias.

Hey Katie!!!! I am due for another video on this!!! I joke that if only I could see the parallel universe that has the version of me WITHOUT any of these things. It’s the only way I would know if it’s worthwhile! I’m convinced my undereyes are in great shape compared to how the rest of my face is aging 😭- is it PRF, is it redlight, there is no way to know. If PRF weren’t SO EXPENSIVE I would be pushing it HARD because it’s so natural and makes a difference, but how long? how much? - it’s so hard to know! I’ve been spending much more time and energy learning about nutrition and aging - I’m convinced that is the most worthwhile thing - though not easy! All that said, here you are with a long response and a big question mark as the answer 🤪

@@RundownwithRachel curious what red light are you using?

@@samiabamia I’m now using Omnilux Men’s mask bc it’s said to be extra powerful but I now have a few!

Where I live, $500 per session

450$ for me I’m getting it tmw

2k for 3 sessions in North Dakota

$300 to $500 per session in Los Angeles

Life before kids and inflation.

Solid question! So important to know that going into it. For those that cannot stand needles - it’s gotta be tough as there are uncomfortable moments, but it’s pretty quick. In the moment it’s uncomfortable, but not painful enough for it to leave a lasting impression. There have been some lasers I’ve done where I was SQUIRMING - not the case here.

@@RundownwithRachel I've had fillers and botox so maybe this is an option for me then. Thanks!

@@RundownwithRacheldo they numb you beforehand? I had fillers done once about 5 years ago and they gave me a topical lidocaine shot. I still felt some pain at certain points in the injection process. On a scale of 1-10, how bad would you say it felt with 10 being the worst pain?

I know, me too 😳 But I live on the edge and I don’t keep it on any area too long 🤪

yes i did

Oh sad :-(( how many sessions did you have ? And do you have a good diet, no omegas 3 ? It plays a role
