Does microneedling/PRP plump the face or does it just build collagen that works on the skin quality?

Hi, I am interested in enhancing the texture and elasticity of my face skin. I already have a puffy face which am trying to keep it less puffy. Would the collagen attained from microneedling/PRP lead to plumping the face or it just build collagen that works on the skin quality?
