PRF Injections in Beverly Hills
Learn More
The skin under your eyes is the thinnest on your body, which is why it shows fatigue first and forgives mistakes least. PRF injections work with that fragility rather than against it, using a concentrate spun from your own blood to rebuild the area from within. At Zenne Centre in Beverly Hills, Nurse Evelina performs these treatments under the eye of Dr. Christopher Zoumalan, an ASOPRS fellowship-trained oculoplastic surgeon. Her background runs through ICU and operating-room nursing, and patients across Beverly Hills and Los Angeles come to her for a deliberately restrained result.

Curious whether a regenerative injectable made from your own blood could brighten tired, hollow under-eyes? Evelina will tell you honestly during your visit.
What Are PRF Injections?
Platelet-rich fibrin, or PRF, is an autologous treatment made entirely from a small sample of your own blood. After a quick blood draw, the sample is spun in a centrifuge to concentrate platelets, white blood cells, and a fibrin matrix rich in growth factors. Evelina then injects this concentrate into the targeted area, where it stimulates collagen and supports gradual tissue renewal. Because PRF comes from your own body, it contains no synthetic additives and carries a very low risk of allergic reaction. It is one of the non-surgical eye treatments Evelina uses most often for the delicate skin beneath the eyes.
PRF vs. PRP: Why the Fibrin Matrix Matters
PRF is the next-generation evolution of platelet-rich plasma, or PRP. Both begin with a blood draw and a centrifuge, but the processing differs. PRP is spun quickly and isolates platelets in a thin liquid. PRF is spun at a slower speed without anticoagulants, which preserves a fibrin matrix that traps platelets and releases growth factors slowly over days rather than hours. That sustained release is why many providers prefer PRF for the under-eye area, where a gentle, prolonged healing response tends to produce the most natural-looking results.
Benefits of PRF Under-Eye Treatment
PRF under-eye treatment addresses several concerns at once because it improves the quality of the skin itself, not just its volume. The growth factors in your own platelet-rich fibrin prompt the body to rebuild collagen in an area where skin is famously thin and unforgiving. Evelina tailors each session to your specific presentation, and results build gradually over the weeks following treatment.
Softening Dark Circles and Hollows
Dark circles often come from thin skin that lets underlying vessels show through. By thickening and strengthening the skin over time, PRF can soften that vascular shadowing and reduce the tired appearance many patients dislike. For pigment-driven or volume-driven shadows, Evelina may fold PRF into a broader non-surgical dark circle treatment plan during your consultation at Zenne Centre.
Smoothing Tear Troughs with PRF EZ Gel
For the tear trough, Evelina often uses PRF EZ Gel, a form of your concentrated blood that is briefly heated to create a thicker, gel-like consistency. Unlike thin liquid PRF, EZ Gel holds its form, so it can gently support hollow tear troughs while still stimulating collagen. It behaves a little like a natural, temporary tear trough filler, but the material is entirely your own.
Because PRF EZ Gel is made from your own blood, there is nothing foreign placed under your skin.
Natural Collagen Stimulation
The clinical engine behind PRF is collagen. The concentrated growth factors signal your body to generate new collagen and elastin, which thicken the skin and improve its texture and resilience. This regenerative effect is gradual and cumulative, which is why most patients are treated in a short series rather than a single visit. The improvement reflects your own healing response rather than a product sitting in the tissue.
A Filler-Free Alternative for Delicate Skin
For patients who want renewal without synthetic material, PRF offers a filler-free path. Traditional hyaluronic acid fillers deliver immediate volume and remain an excellent option for true hollowing, but the thin under-eye area can occasionally show puffiness or a bluish tinge when overfilled. PRF works differently, improving skin quality from within, and the two can be combined when appropriate.
See What PRF Can Do for Your Under-Eyes
Evelina will map your under-eye concerns and explain exactly which approach fits your skin during a one-on-one consultation.
Is PRF Under-Eye Treatment Right for You?
PRF is well suited to healthy adults bothered by early under-eye aging, thin or crepey lower-eyelid skin, and mild shadowing that has more to do with skin quality than with fat pockets. Because it relies on your own blood, it is not appropriate for everyone, and Evelina reviews your health history carefully before recommending it.
You may be an ideal candidate if:
- You have mild to moderate under-eye hollowing, crepiness, or dark circles
- You prefer a natural, autologous treatment over synthetic injectables
- You are in good general health with no active blood or autoimmune disorder
- You understand that results appear gradually and may require a short series
- You have realistic expectations about subtle, buildable improvement
Patients with prominent fat pockets or significant hollowing may benefit more from fillers or surgery, and Evelina will say so plainly when that is the case.
What to Expect During Your PRF Treatment
Your PRF treatment at Zenne Centre is a straightforward in-office visit, typically completed in under an hour. Evelina walks you through each step so you know what is happening and why.
Your Consultation with Evelina
Every treatment begins with a thorough consultation. Evelina evaluates your under-eye anatomy, skin thickness, pigmentation, and the underlying cause of your concerns. She explains whether PRF, EZ Gel, fillers, or a combination will serve you best, and she outlines a realistic timeline so you know what to expect before anything begins.
The PRF Injection Process
On treatment day, Evelina draws a small amount of your blood and processes it in a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich fibrin. After applying a topical numbing cream for comfort, she injects the concentrate into the under-eye area, often using a blunt-tipped cannula to reduce bruising. The active portion of the visit usually takes only a few minutes once the PRF is prepared.
Recovery and Downtime
Most patients return to normal activities quickly, with only minimal downtime. Recovery generally unfolds in stages:
- Day of treatment: Mild swelling, redness, or small injection marks are common and usually settle within hours.
- First few days: Any bruising peaks and then begins to fade; most patients cover it easily with makeup.
- Two to four weeks: Early skin-quality improvements become visible as collagen activity increases.
- Following months: Results continue building, which is why a short series is often recommended.
Evelina provides aftercare guidance and typically advises avoiding strenuous activity and direct sun for a day or two.
Results: What Before-and-After Reflects
PRF results appear gradually rather than instantly, so honest before-and-after expectations matter. In the weeks after treatment, most patients notice smoother texture, softer shadowing, and a more rested appearance. Because the change comes from your own collagen rebuilding over time, the difference tends to look subtle and natural rather than abrupt. Longevity varies with age, skin condition, and lifestyle, and many patients schedule periodic maintenance to preserve their results.
Treatments That Pair Well with PRF
PRF rarely has to work alone. Evelina frequently combines it with other non-surgical treatments at Zenne Centre to address the under-eye area from multiple angles.
RF Microneedling
Radiofrequency microneedling delivers controlled heat into the deeper layers of the skin, triggering collagen contraction and new tissue formation. Paired with PRF, the microchannels created during microneedling allow the platelet-rich fibrin to penetrate more deeply, amplifying the collagen-building effect and helping tighten lax under-eye skin over a series of sessions.
Under-Eye Filler
For true volume loss, hyaluronic acid under-eye filler restores structure that PRF alone cannot replace. Evelina may combine the two, using filler to address hollowing and PRF to improve the overlying skin quality. Together they can deliver a more complete correction than either treatment provides on its own.

Frequently Asked Questions About PRF Injections
Learn More
How much do PRF injections cost in Beverly Hills?
There is no flat rate, because no two under-eye treatment plans are alike. What you pay depends on how many sessions your skin needs and whether PRF is paired with another treatment. Evelina gives you a specific quote at your consultation rather than a vague range. Financing options are available, and since PRF is cosmetic, insurance does not apply.
What are the risks of PRF under-eye treatment?
Because the injected material is your own blood, the usual worry with injectables, an allergic reaction to something foreign, simply does not apply. What you may see instead is short-lived: a little puffiness, pinkness, or the occasional small bruise where the needle went in. Evelina goes through your health history and aftercare in detail before treating you, so nothing about the process catches you off guard.
PRF vs. PRP: which is better for under eyes?
Neither is universally better; they suit different goals. PRF releases growth factors more slowly than PRP because of its fibrin matrix, which many providers prefer for the gradual, gentle renewal the under-eye area responds to best. Evelina helps you decide based on your skin and concerns during a personalized evaluation.
How long do PRF under-eye results last?
PRF under-eye results typically last several months to a year, though longevity varies with age, skin condition, and lifestyle. Because the improvement comes from your own collagen production, results build gradually and then fade slowly. Many patients schedule periodic maintenance sessions to sustain the refreshed appearance over time.
How many PRF sessions will I need?
Most patients benefit from a short series of treatments rather than a single session. A common plan involves a few sessions spaced several weeks apart, allowing collagen to build progressively. Evelina determines the right number for you during your consultation, based on your concerns and how your skin responds.
Does PRF work for dark circles?
PRF can help dark circles caused by thin skin, since it thickens and strengthens the under-eye area to reduce vascular shadowing. It is less effective for purely pigment-based circles, which may call for additional treatments. Evelina identifies the underlying cause first, then recommends the most effective approach for your specific dark circles.
