What the gurus are saying

Experts praise PRP for under-eye hollowness and dark circles, with some reviewers preferring it to filler instead. For hair loss, despite research support, reviewers caution that results are unpredictable, sometimes helpful, sometimes ineffective, occasionally worsening shedding. Several highlight that the procedure is uncomfortable and effects are temporary, while reviewers debate whether the platelet growth factors or the injection itself drives improvement.

“the other thing I'd consider is injections of PRP and these have been shown in many studies to promote hair growth now we do PRP injections in my office so it'd actually be pretty easy for me to get it done but I'm really hoping to avoid anything invasive even minimally invasive like PRP”

“Or the more popular options, which are known as PRP or PRF, where they essentially use your own plasma, mix it with like a type of gel and inject it into the under eye area, which helps to make your eyes look more full, plump.”

“in plated rich plasma therapy we take blood we put that in a machine centrifuge it and take the plated component and then inject that into the skin this plat Rich component contains a lot of growth factors which can actually stimulate the cells to make collagen this improves skin texture and also helps in improving the appearance of scars”

“For hair loss, PRP has a bit of a substantial base compared to PRF as far as research, but it's not that robust. And I do caution people that it can be very difficult to predict not only the results that you have, but sometimes PRP helps. Sometimes it does nothing. And in some cases, it can even worsen the androgenetic alopecia.”

“there's some evidence that PRP can help to promote hair growth when injected into the scalp. But, as I mentioned, it's an uncomfortable procedure to go through.”

“I have loved this treatment for my under eyes. I've never used filler in my under eyes. I have been very vocal about this because the under eyes are a very tricky area and you have to be the right candidate. Given that I do inject myself, I cannot see myself with filler here and it's easier to do PRP or PRF. So, I get that done on myself maybe twice a year for my under eyes.”

“But, with either method there is a lot of debate about how effective this procedure actually is and if the platelet-rich plasma part of the procedure is actually making any noticeable difference or if all the changes are just due to filler being injected or the microneedling.”

“I was doing Reneuva injections, which stimulates fat growth, like your own fat cells, but that's like a long process. It can be a little bit pricey. Not saying that I wouldn't do it again because I really enjoyed that, but this just felt like an easy way to go in there, smooth out those ligaments, smooth out any of the hollowing that you could kind of see.”

“And this has gotten really popular because it can offer great results depending on the individual and helping to kind of boost that thin underey skin, camouflaging kind of that dark circle from vasculature, stimulating collagen, but you're not going to really have to worry about migration because you're injecting your own blood back into the area.”

“I actually just um had PRP done to my face and prf and so that was a first for me because I thought what is healthier than putting my own blood and getting it spun back into my body rather than putting some foreign substance right”

“I am noticing that my under eye Hollows are returning after my filler from a couple of years ago and my prf treatment has kind of worn off I'm going to probably get another prf treatment I'm sort of debating whether I will or whether I won't I'm still very happy with the under eye area the way it came out but it is slightly diminishing now that the filler is slightly receding and the pr is where prf is wearing off”
