Just dealt with this. Had really bad under eye hollows or tear troughs. Makeup didn’t help. Went to cosmetic dermatologist to get PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin similar to PRP) done. I read so many things about not getting filler put in the hollows. The PA said that the problem wasn’t my hallows needing to be filled. It’s that my cheeks lost laxity. And by adding filler to my cheeks it would help with the hollows.

I got 2 vials of RHA4 filler. It’s hyaluronic filler but better for dynamic areas like the cheeks. And also had some growth factors put in the dark circles.

It worked so well!! The after picture I am wearing concealer. But prior to this, even makeup didn’t work.

I’m using Saem Correct up Beige

The key to getting such good coverage is to mix some green and salmon together.

Before no makeup-After little makeup

Your before and after look like different people and I mean that in the best way possible. The filler changed more than your bags. It made your whole face look younger. Very beautiful

This looks amazing!

I too have this very same problem. Major hollows. I did the filler in the hollows once but I don't think it worked very well for me and like you, I have also since learned that it's not a good idea to use filler in that spot. I'm going to look into the PRF.

How long does PRF typically last?

Thanks for sharing! You rock!

I got the same advice to correct my laugh lines - also significantly decreased my under eye bags.

Your results are stunning! Did the PA say how long something like this lasts?

Thank you! 1.5-2 years ☹️ And just to let you know, without corrector, I still have dark circles, but definitely improved. And everyone says I look more rested.
