I had co2 in december to address dark under eye circles. I saw no results and was advised to try prp. Did 1 injection and my under eyes are darker now than before. I dont know if this is broken blood vessels or staining but am desperate for help. Seems each person i ask, they recommend different. One said do hydroquinone cream then prf..the original doctor seems unsure and says maybe co2 under eye again? Ive been googling and see q switch. I dont want to be an experiment, i need a solution. Help. Will include pic. (Top before prp)
