If you’re noticing under-eye hollows, changes in skin texture, or other early signs of aging, PRF injections offer a regenerative approach to facial rejuvenation. Using platelet-rich fibrin prepared from your own blood, Dr. Burchhardt can target areas where improved skin quality, collagen support, and subtle rejuvenation are desired—all while preserving a natural appearance.
Rejuvenate your skin naturally
Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) injections are regenerative treatments that use components derived from your own blood to support natural skin rejuvenation. PRF contains concentrated platelets within a fibrin matrix, along with naturally occurring growth factors that support tissue repair and renewal.
When injected into targeted areas of the face, PRF may help stimulate collagen production, improve skin quality, and soften some of the early changes associated with aging. Because the treatment works with your body’s own regenerative processes, improvement develops gradually and is intended to look subtle and natural.
PRF injections differ from PRF microneedling in how the treatment is performed. PRF microneedling incorporates PRF into a microneedling treatment to support more generalized skin rejuvenation, and the treatment is generally performed by our aesthetician. With PRF injections, Dr. Burchhardt places the PRF directly into specific areas where more focused treatment may be beneficial.
PRF injections may help address:
- Under-eye hollows and tear troughs
- Crepey or thinning under-eye skin
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Uneven or rough skin texture
- Dull, tired-looking skin
- Loss of skin firmness and elasticity
- Early signs of facial aging
Primary treatment: under-eye rejuvenation
Dr. Burchhardt most commonly uses PRF injections to rejuvenate the delicate tear trough and under-eye area. After preparing PRF from your blood, it is injected into the dermis and subdermal tissue. The concentrated platelets and growth factors support collagen production and tissue renewal, helping improve skin quality. For patients seeking volume restoration as well, PRF EZGel combines the regenerative benefits of PRF with temporary volume enhancement.
Additional applications of PRF injections
Facial rejuvenation
PRF can be injected into selected areas of the face to support skin renewal and improve overall skin quality. By placing PRF precisely where it is needed, Dr. Burchhardt can incorporate regenerative treatment into a broader facial rejuvenation plan based on your anatomy and goals.
Hair restoration
PRF injections may also be used to support hair growth in areas experiencing thinning. Dr. Burchhardt may inject PRF into targeted areas of the scalp, where its platelets and growth factors may help support follicular health and hair growth.

PRF injections FAQs
Is there downtime after treatment?
Downtime is generally minimal, although this varies between patients and treatment areas. You may experience temporary swelling or bruising, particularly when treating the delicate under-eye area. Dr. Burchhardt will provide personalized aftercare instructions and explain when you can resume your normal activities.
When will I see results?
PRF works by supporting your body’s natural regenerative processes, so improvement develops gradually rather than appearing immediately. As collagen production and tissue renewal occur, you may notice progressive changes in skin quality and texture. The timing and degree of improvement vary among patients.
How many treatments will I need?
Usually, a series of treatments is recommended, and your treatment plan depends on your concerns, anatomy, and desired outcome. Dr. Burchhardt will evaluate you personally and recommend an individualized schedule.
