I have dark circles underneath my eyes that make me look run down and tired. I've heard good things about using microneedling or dermarolling on the undereye area to thicken the skin and lessen the appearance of circles, but most of those sources are anecdotal. Is it a treatment that's effective? What are the downsides or risks to it?

Answer: Microneedling for darkness under eyes the skin under the eyes usually gets thinner as we age, but if the dark circles are due because of broken capillaries and thin skin I think the microneedling will not be helpful. I think you should opt for light fillers such as Belotero and perhaps using a prescription bleaching cream to help for the darkness.

Answer: Microneedling Combining microneedling with PRP is a great non-surgical way to help thicken the skin and improve the fine wrinkles which occur under the eye. Microneedling will require several treatments for the greatest effect. You can expect up to 3 days of redness and flakiness but many people have no downtime at all and can wear make-up the next day. Another possible option is filler if the dark circles are due to hollowing or lack of volume which can accentuate shadows. It is best to have an in-office examination to determine the best treatment to improve the dark circles under your eyes and for a complete discussion about risks and benefits for each option.
