When it comes to restoring volume and reducing under-eye hollows, two popular options are PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin)and dermal fillers. At Paradise Medical in Wailuku, we specialize in natural, regenerative treatments like PRF. While we don’t inject fillers here, many of our patients ask about the difference—so let’s break it down.
What is PRF?
PRF is a treatment that uses a small sample of your own blood. After a gentle spin in the centrifuge, we collect a concentrated layer rich in platelets, growth factors, and fibrin. This is then carefully injected into the under-eye area or face, where it stimulates collagen production, improves circulation, and rejuvenates tissue naturally.
- 100% natural (from your own body)
- Gradual, long-lasting improvement
- Great for dark circles, fine lines, and skin texture
What are Dermal Fillers?
Fillers are gel-like substances (usually made of hyaluronic acid) injected under the skin to replace lost volume and smooth lines. They provide instant results, making them a popular choice for those who want quick correction.
- Immediate results
- Can last 6–12 months depending on the product
- Best for deep hollows and volume loss
? While fillers can be effective, at Paradise Medical we choose to focus on PRF because it is a natural, evidence-based therapy that works with your body to restore healthy skin from the inside out.
Key Differences
- Natural vs. Synthetic: PRF comes from your own blood, while fillers are lab-made.
- Results Timeline: Fillers work instantly; PRF takes a few weeks to months as your body regenerates collagen.
- Longevity: Fillers usually last up to a year; PRF improvements build gradually and can last longer with maintenance.
- Safety: Since PRF is autologous (from you), the risk of reaction is minimal.
