Many patients come to PH Med with one specific concern: dark circles or hollowing under their eyes. It's one of the most common complaints we hear. So it may seem surprising when Dr. Bui recommends treating the full face with PRF rather than just the under-eye area.
Here's why a comprehensive approach delivers better results.
The Face Ages as a Whole
Under-eye changes don't happen in isolation. When you notice hollowing or darkness beneath your eyes, it's usually part of a broader pattern — volume loss in the midface, changes in skin quality across the cheeks and temples, and shifts in the overall structural support of the face.
Treating just the under-eye area in isolation can actually make these surrounding changes more noticeable. The contrast between refreshed under-eyes and untreated surrounding skin can look unnatural.
How Full-Face PRF Works
PRF (platelet-rich fibrin) harnesses your body's own growth factors to stimulate cellular renewal and collagen production. When applied across the full face, it creates a uniform improvement in skin quality — improving texture, tone, hydration, and fine lines everywhere, while specifically addressing the under-eye area as part of that comprehensive renewal.
The result looks natural because it is natural. Every area of the face benefits, creating balanced improvement rather than a single "fixed" spot.
The PH Med Difference
Dr. Bui's full-face PRF protocol is designed to maximize growth factor distribution where your skin needs it most. Because she evaluates the entire face — not just the area of complaint — the treatment plan addresses root causes rather than just symptoms.
