What needle length can be used under the eyes in microneedling?

June 22, 2019
Asked By:1487 in Illinois, IL

My microneedling provider, who seems knowledgeable and competent, will only use .25mm under my eyes. While I appreciate her caution, I also want results for lines under my eyes and have read elsewhere that longer needles can be used. I already use tretinoin but it's not keeping up with the under-eye wrinkles. Thank you for your input.
