PRF vs PRP Under-Eye Rejuvenation: What Works Best for Ottawa Women?

January in Ottawa brings frigid winds, dry indoor heat, and often, more visible under-eye concerns—think dark circles, crepey texture, and hollowness after a busy holiday season. If you’re seeking a natural-looking, non-surgical refresh, Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) and Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) are 2026’s most talked-about solutions for women in Kanata, Stittsville, and across West Ottawa.

PRP vs PRF 101: What’s the Difference?

Both PRP Therapy and PRF Treatment use a small sample of your own blood to harness growth factors that stimulate collagen and improve skin quality. The distinction lies in how they’re prepared—and how they perform.

• PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma): Spun at higher speeds, PRP isolates platelets but includes an anticoagulant. It delivers a quick burst of growth factors for an immediate glow and texture boost. Many women see earlier brightness when PRP is combined with microneedling across the face.
• PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin): Spun at a lower speed without additives, PRF preserves a fibrin matrix that releases growth factors gradually for up to two weeks. Under the eyes—where skin is thin and delicate—this slow release often translates to smoother, longer-lasting softening of fine lines and hollows.

Is PRF better than PRP for under-eye dark circles?

For most Ottawa women in 2026, PRF edges ahead for the under-eye area. Its additive-free formula and slow-release fibrin network give a gentler, sustained improvement in crepiness and volume. PRP remains an excellent option for overall facial rejuvenation—especially when paired with microneedling—while PRF is frequently preferred for the tear trough due to its longevity and natural plumping effect.

Why PRF Is a Winter Winner in Ottawa

Ottawa’s January climate can exacerbate under-eye dryness and dullness. PRF supports collagen stimulation with minimal downtime—ideal when you’re braving cold snaps or heading back to work after the holidays. Most women notice progressive improvements over several weeks, with results that look refreshed, not “done.”
