Have you ever wondered if there’s a natural way to treat under-eye hollows without surgery? Reimagine Beauty has the answer.

As a med spa in Lancaster, PA, Reimagine Beauty offers PRF treatment to naturally rejuvenate the under-eye area, restore lost volume, and smooth thin, crepe-like skin, all using your body’s own healing power.

Meet Lauren Arrick, CRNP and Nurse Injector

Among Reimagine’s professionally trained nurse injectors is Lauren Arrick, CRNP. With 20 years of experience as a nurse, and 5 years as a practitioner, she handles all injectables and lasers and manages the spa’s injectable weight loss programs.

Lauren emphasizes the natural results PRF treatment delivers. PRF stands for platelet rich fibrin. Reimagine uses it to help clients rejuvenate their under-eyes and restore their natural glow, without introducing anything foreign into the body.

The PRF Treatment Procedure Explained

Every appointment at Reimagine begins with an initial consultation, including PRF. Your Nurse Injector will review your concerns and goals to help determine whether you’re an ideal candidate for this treatment.

Once your blood is drawn, they will spin and heat it to create the PRF gel. This gel is then injected around the cheek area, typically at one injection point, to target any under-eye hollowing.

As the PRF settles into place, it activates your body’s natural healing response. This process supports collagen production and delivers a gradual, natural-looking rejuvenation.

How Long Does PRF Treatment Take?

Plan for your PRF appointment to take about an hour. The time will be spent with 20 minutes on the initial consultation, 20 minutes processing your blood into PRF, and 20 minutes injecting the product into the treatment area.

Are You an Ideal Candidate for PRF?

Patients with under-eye hollowing or thin, crepe-like under-eye skin make ideal candidates for PRF treatment. If you notice a visible dip where your under-eye meets your cheek, PRF can help restore that lost volume.

Patients with prominent under-eye bags are typically not the ideal candidate for PRF. Reimagine may recommend Morpheus for milder cases of under-eye bags, while more significant bags usually require surgery.

Under-Eye Bags vs. Under-Eye Hollows

Under-eye bags come from fat pads that everyone has beneath their eyes. Over time, a ligament allows that fat to shift and drop with gravity, which makes the bags more prominent with age.

Under-eye hollows develop from volume loss and thinning skin rather than fat pad movement. This creates a sunken or shadowed look where the under-eye meets the cheek.

Because PRF treatment rebuilds volume and stimulates collagen, it works well for hollows, but it can’t correct the fat pad displacement behind under-eye bags.

What Do Downtime and Results Look Like?

Expect some swelling and puffiness for the first few days after treatment, with little downtime lasting about 5 to 7 days total.

As the swelling subsides, your body reabsorbs excess volume and produces new collagen and elastin to gradually plump the hollow area.

Results build over the following months, with about 30% of the treated volume typically remaining up to one year later.

If you have minimal hollowing, one PRF visit per year may be enough to maintain your results. More significant hollowing usually calls for 2 to 3 visits to build volume over time.

What Are the Benefits of PRF Treatment?

PRF delivers natural skin rejuvenation by using your body’s own platelets and growth factors instead of an outside substance, so your results look like your own healthy skin, not an artificial fix.

PRF treatment offers versatile, customizable options that Reimagine tailors to your specific level of hollowing and your goals.

PRF also provides a safe, minimally invasive solution. Unlike traditional filler, PRF comes from your own blood, avoiding the risks associated with injecting a foreign substance into your body.
