Thank you for sharing your concerns about PRP with Microneedling in periocular tissue. It is highly unusual to have visual problems (or any problems) if this procedure is performed by an experienced board certified physician.

Yes you can have them both on the same day, there should be no reason why not. I suggest the microneedling/PRP first before the botox which is how i do it in my practice. Best, Dr. Emer.
Recovery time depends on the extent of the PRP treatment. If PRP injections into the face along with PRP topical treatment with microneedling is done then recovery from the microneedling may take 3 to 4 days depending on how aggressive teh microneedling was. If you just had PRP injections...
PRP, such as Selphyl, require persons blood and processing it in sterile technique. I recommend that these procedure be done in medical office and not spas!
