PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) injections in Lenexa, KS, at Rewind Time Anti-Aging & Aesthetics use your body’s own healing factors as a natural biostimulator. Ideal for dark circles, crepey under-eye skin, and thinning facial skin, PRF gradually rebuilds collagen for a rested, refreshed look. It is a natural, filler-free alternative to hyaluronic acid (HA) filler.
PRF is a natural biostimulator made entirely from a small sample of your own blood. Your blood is spun gently in a centrifuge, with no anticoagulants or additives, to concentrate platelets, white blood cells, and fibrin. The fibrin forms a soft matrix that releases growth factors slowly over several days, signaling your skin to build new collagen and elastin. Because nothing synthetic is added, PRF is a natural substitute for hyaluronic acid filler in delicate areas like under the eyes.
PRF is ideal for:
Unlike HA filler, PRF does not simply fill a space. It stimulates your own tissue to regenerate, so results build gradually and look like you on your best-rested day.
PRF may not be the right choice if you take blood thinners, have a platelet or clotting disorder, or are undergoing cancer treatment. At your consultation, Laura reviews your health history and tells you honestly whether PRF, HA filler, or another treatment best fits your goals.
Hyaluronic acid filler is a great tool for adding volume, but the under-eye area is delicate. Thin skin there can show a bluish tint from filler (the Tyndall effect), and because HA attracts water, it can sometimes cause puffiness. PRF takes a different approach:
HA filler still has its place. It gives immediate volume and is often the better choice for deep hollows or structural volume loss. Some clients benefit from combining both: PRF to improve skin quality and HA where structure is needed. Your plan is built around your anatomy and your goals.
Your PRF is prepared fresh at every visit with a dedicated centrifuge right here in the Lenexa studio, so your treatment is made from your own blood and injected the same day. Laura McDonald, MSN, APRN, FNP-BC, brings more than a decade of medical experience and advanced aesthetic injection training to every appointment, with a conservative approach suited to the delicate under-eye area. Appointments stay private and unhurried, and recommendations are honest about what PRF can and cannot do, including when HA filler or another treatment is the better fit.

Both are made from your own blood. PRF is spun at a lower speed without anticoagulants, so it keeps more white blood cells and forms a fibrin matrix that releases growth factors gradually over several days. That slower, sustained release makes PRF well suited as a biostimulator for skin rejuvenation around the eyes and face.
Yes. PRF is made only from your own blood, with nothing synthetic added. Instead of filling an area with HA gel, it stimulates your skin to build new collagen and improve its thickness and quality. PRF does not provide the immediate volume of HA filler, so deep hollows may still be best treated with HA or a combination of both.
PRF works best for dark circles caused by thin, translucent skin and mild hollowness, because it helps thicken the skin and improve its quality and tone. Dark circles caused mainly by pigmentation or genetics may need other treatments. Laura will assess the cause of your dark circles at your consultation.
Most clients see the best results with a series of about 3 treatments spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart, followed by maintenance sessions as needed. Your plan depends on your skin and your goals.
Because PRF stimulates your own collagen, results develop gradually over 4 to 12 weeks and can last 12 to 18 months or longer. Individual results vary, and maintenance treatments help sustain them.
Numbing cream is applied before treatment, and most clients feel only mild pressure or a quick pinch. Expect some swelling, redness, or possible bruising for a few days. Most people return to normal activities the same day or the next day.
Because PRF comes from your own blood with nothing added, the risk of allergic reaction or rejection is very low. As with any injection, bruising, swelling, and rarely infection can occur. A thorough health history at your consultation confirms whether PRF is a safe choice for you.
Yes. PRF can complement neurotoxins, triLift, and HA filler where structural volume is needed. Laura can build a combined plan to refresh your eyes and improve overall skin quality.
