Tired of dark under-eye circles? Discover how PRF injections naturally brighten under-eye darkness & restore volume. Learn about this regenerative treatment for tired eyes.
Did you know that the skin beneath your eyes is the thinnest anywhere on the body, measuring only about half a millimeter? That is roughly one-quarter the thickness of most other facial skin.
Because of this delicacy, blood vessels, fat pads, and even small pigment irregularities are far more visible here. The result is what we recognize as dark circles.
For many people, no amount of sleep or concealer makes them disappear. Medical aesthetics, however, has advanced in ways that finally offer a natural solution.
Today, Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) injections are helping patients restore brightness and fullness to the under-eye area.
At Mind & Body Med Spa in Farmington, UT, we see how PRF renews tired eyes and brings back a youthful, refreshed look.
Dark circles usually form due to a mix of factors:
Eye creams can hydrate and brighten but often do not correct the root cause. Dermal fillers may restore volume but do not improve skin quality or circulation.
PRF stands apart because it addresses both texture and tone while working in harmony with your own body.
PRF is derived from your own blood. When spun at a specific speed, it concentrates platelets, growth factors, stem cells, and fibrin without the need for additives or anticoagulants.
When injected beneath the eyes, PRF creates a fibrin matrix that holds growth factors in place. These growth factors release slowly, stimulating collagen, elastin, and improved circulation over time. The skin becomes thicker, healthier, and more radiant.

People in their late twenties to forties who notice early hollows and mild discoloration often do very well with PRF.
Those who prefer a natural approach may choose PRF instead of synthetic fillers.
Anyone who values regenerative medicine and prefers treatments that come from their own biology will likely appreciate PRF.
PRF works best for mild to moderate pigmentation and hollowing. Very deep tear troughs or significant sagging may need a combination of treatments.
We begin with a personalized consultation to review your goals, skin type, and medical history.
A small amount of blood is drawn, similar to a routine lab test.
The blood is spun in a centrifuge to separate the fibrin-rich layer.
Using a fine needle or cannula, PRF is carefully placed beneath the eyes.
Most patients have mild swelling or redness that resolves quickly. Results appear gradually over six to twelve weeks.
Is PRF safe?
Yes. Because PRF comes from your own blood, the risk of adverse reaction is minimal.
Does it hurt?
The injections are usually described as very tolerable, with only slight pressure or pinching.
How many sessions will I need?
Most people benefit from two to three sessions spaced about a month apart, with yearly maintenance.
How does PRF compare to fillers under the eyes?
PRF stimulates collagen and improves texture, while fillers add instant volume without changing skin quality.
Can PRF fix very deep under-eye bags?
PRF can help, but some cases may require a combination of treatments, including filler, laser, or surgery.
When will I see results?
Subtle changes appear within weeks, with the best improvements developing by two to three months.
Can I return to work the same day?
Yes, downtime is minimal, although mild swelling or bruising may occur.
Will PRF help genetic dark circles?
It can improve them, but genetic pigmentation may require additional treatments such as lasers or chemical peels.
Dark circles do not have to be a permanent reminder of fatigue or age. PRF injections offer a safe, natural, and regenerative way to brighten and restore fullness under the eyes.
