Here are some of the most common questions we are asked about PRF treatment consultations.
Both use a preparation from your own blood, but preparation methods and the resulting material differ. Ask which technique is proposed and why. A different preparation does not establish that PRF is more effective for your concern.
Under-eye concerns can have different causes, and an online description cannot establish which applies to you. PRF should not be presented as a guaranteed correction. Ask about evidence for the exact area and discuss other options.
Evidence for cosmetic PRF is still developing and outcomes vary. Ask what result is realistic, how it would be measured and when to review progress. Avoid choosing a course solely on claims of permanent regeneration or a fixed result.
Request a consultation to discuss suitability, available appointments and the full cost before making a decision.
