    PRF Under Eyes and Face: My Experience (And Why I Chose It Over Filler)

    March 27, 2026 - By The Skin + Beauty Nurse

    Disclaimer: The information in this blog does not replace the expertise of your healthcare/ service provider. This blog is for information purposes only and recounts my experience with PFR.

    April 25, 2024 - By The Skin + Beauty Nurse

    Wrinkle prevention is a hot topic and will continue to be a hot topic until the end of time. Wrinkles are a natural part of life. I wish I laughed less, said no one ever. Laugh lines show you likely laughed until you cried a few times. Forehead wrinkles show you have a perceptive nature. The crinkling around your eyes shows you were thoughtful. You can prevent wrinkles with tips, key ingredients, and a consistent skincare routine. I wish the catchphrase was pro-age, not anti-aging.
