PRP injection under eyes for dark circles (Photo)

Question

Hello, In March of 2023 I had microneedeling with pro injections under my eyes for dark circles. It is now September and the initial injection sites have never dissolved. I never had bags under my eyes, just dark circles. Now I have both! Please help. I am getting no help from the place it was done. They only say to inject more NS to possibly dissolve it.

I understand how frustrating it must be to deal with this outcome, especially when it’s not what you expected. PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) injections are often used to treat dark circles by promoting collagen production and improving the skin’s texture. However, if you're seeing persistent swelling or what appears to be unresolved injection sites, it's possible that your body hasn’t fully absorbed the plasma, or there could be a reaction causing localized puffiness.
It’s unlikely that the PRP itself would cause long-term under-eye bags, but certain factors, such as inflammation or improper technique, can contribute to these lingering effects. Injecting more saline (NS) could potentially help flush out the area, but it may not always be the most effective solution depending on what’s going on with your skin and tissue.
If the issue persists, you might want to consider treatments to address the swelling directly, such as hyaluronidase if fillers were involved, or even time, as your body can eventually resolve mild irritation on its own. In the meantime, gentle care, avoiding further trauma to the area, and using cooling compresses could offer some relief.
