PRF Under Eyes in Toronto and North York

Tired-looking eyes treated with PRF — using your own blood, not filler. PRF (platelet-rich fibrin) is drawn from you, spun in a centrifuge, and placed under the eye to thicken thin skin and improve texture over a few months. No synthetic product, no risk of allergy to a foreign substance, and nothing added to the tissue that was not already yours.

At Elham Aesthetic Art on Finch Avenue West in North York, every under-eye assessment is done in person by Elham Mousavi, Aesthetic Medicine Specialist (IMG), with 26+ years of experience. We treat clients from across Toronto, Vaughan, Thornhill and Richmond Hill. New clients receive 10% off their first appointment.

A centrifuged blood sample separated into platelet-rich plasma, and the syringe prepared from it for a PRF treatment

PRF is prepared from a small sample of your own blood, spun until the platelet-rich layer separates. Real before-and-after results from this clinic are further down the page.


First, which kind of under-eye problem do you have?

This is the part most clinics skip, and it is the reason people end up disappointed by under-eye treatment. “Dark circles” is not one condition — it is at least three, and they do not respond to the same treatment. Part of your consultation is establishing which one you actually have.

What is causing itHow you can tellDoes PRF help?
Thin skin — the vessels underneath show throughThe darkness has a blue or purple tone and looks worse when you are tiredYes. This is what PRF is for — it thickens and improves the quality of the skin itself
A hollow — a tear-trough deficit casting a shadowThe darkness changes with the light and looks better when you tilt your head backPartly. A true hollow usually needs volume; PRF can improve the skin over it
Pigmentation — melanin in the skinThe colour is brown rather than blue, and does not change with light or tirednessNo. Pigment is treated differently, and we will tell you so rather than sell you PRF

Many people have a combination, which is why the plan is made after looking at your eyes rather than before.


Why PRF under the eyes, and not filler

The skin under the eye is the thinnest on the face and the least forgiving of anything placed badly. PRF suits it for three reasons.

It is yours. PRF is made from a small sample of your own blood, spun slowly and without any anticoagulant, so it forms a soft fibrin scaffold that holds your own platelets and white cells. There is no synthetic material and nothing your body can react to as foreign.

It releases slowly. Because the platelets are held in a fibrin matrix rather than floating in liquid, growth factors are released gradually over several days instead of all at once. In a delicate area, steady is better than fast.

It improves the skin rather than filling a space. Filler adds volume; PRF changes the quality of the tissue. When the problem is thin skin showing what is underneath, improving the skin is the treatment that addresses the cause.

What a course looks like

  • 2 to 3 sessions, spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart
  • About an hour per appointment, most of it preparation
  • Numbing cream applied while your blood is spinning
  • First visible change at 4 to 8 weeks
  • Maintenance every 9 to 12 months
  • Puffiness for a day or two; bruising in this area is common

Plan your first appointment at least two weeks before anything important. Bruising under the eye is easy to cover but it is not instant.

A good fit if you

  • Look tired even when you are not
  • Have thin, crepey skin under the eye rather than a deep hollow
  • Would rather avoid filler in this area entirely
  • Prefer a gradual change to an immediate one
  • Can commit to a short course rather than one session

Treatment is deferred or declined if you

  • Are pregnant or breastfeeding
  • Have a platelet or clotting disorder, or an active blood-borne infection
  • Take anticoagulant medication — this is reviewed before anything is booked
  • Have an active skin infection or inflammation around the eye
  • Are immunosuppressed or being treated for a blood cancer

This list is a guide, not a screening tool. Your full medical history and medications are reviewed at consultation before anything is agreed.


Questions people ask before booking

They start the same way — a small blood draw, then a centrifuge — but PRF is spun more slowly and without anticoagulant, so it forms a soft fibrin gel rather than a liquid. That gel stays where it is placed and releases growth factors over days rather than immediately, which is why PRF is usually the one chosen for the under-eye area.

That depends entirely on what is causing them, which is why the table above matters more than any promise on this page. Darkness from thin skin generally improves as the skin thickens. A true hollow may need volume instead. Pigmentation does not respond to PRF at all, and if that is what you have, we will tell you at consultation rather than sell you a course that cannot work.

Some, and it is normal. The under-eye area has a rich blood supply and bruises easily, so plan your appointment at least two weeks before an event. Most bruising is small and covers easily with makeup after the first 24 hours.

Usually between four and eight weeks. PRF works by prompting your own tissue to remodel, and that process takes time — there is nothing dramatic to see in the first fortnight. The fullest result comes once the course is finished.

Cost is confirmed at your consultation, because it depends on how many sessions your plan actually needs. What you will be told is the total for the recommended course, not a per-session number that grows later. New clients receive 10% off their first appointment.

Book an under-eye assessment

The assessment establishes which of the three causes is driving your under-eye appearance and whether PRF is the right treatment for it. If it is not, you will be told that, and told what would be.
