Can Microneedling damage the skin directly under eyes?

kmedguyla
I've had two microneedling treatments and asked them to treat my under eye area for dark circles. It did help with the dark pigment, but now I'm noticing vertical lines directly under my eyes that were definitely not there before. I did have some mild swelling under the eyes and am wondering if this stretched the skin and caused the wrinkles? It's been two months now and I still have the small vertical lines. I'm just wondering if I should continue the treatments or just go back to faxel laser.
