The under-eye area combines thin skin, complex anatomy and several different causes of tired appearance.
Is PRF better than filler for under-eye hollows?
There is no universal winner. PRF and dermal fillers work differently and may be discussed for different concerns.
What matters most?
Treatment should start with diagnosis of the visible concern.
- Hollow depth
- Skin quality
- Pigmentation
- Fluid retention
- Lower-eyelid bags
- Previous filler
Why the answer can be different for each patient
A treatment suitable for one type of tear trough may be inappropriate for another.
What should you ask during consultation?
- What is causing the shadow?
- Will treatment add volume?
- What are the risks?
- Could no treatment be the better option?
Under-eye filler has specific anatomical risks and should only be considered after careful assessment.
