I’m 48F. Had three sessions of PRP injected into temples, under eyes, nasolabial folds and marionette lines between September and February. Noticeable results everywhere except under eyes. Is it possible I will need several more injections under eyes to see results? It has been four months since the first injection, three months since the second and just a week since the third. Results very noticeable for marionette lines, seemingly no results for eyes yet.

Answer: PRP Sometimes it may require more than three sessions of PRP for optimal results. Without seeing a photo, I would suggest you have a conversation with your provider about your progress and expectations. Best of luck!

Answer: Interesting results, may need more time, PRP, or alternative treatment Hello, that's great to that you are seeing such positive results from PRP in the areas you mentioned: temples, nasolabial folds and marionette lines. Typically, these areas require more volume for rejuvenation, and PRP is not as good at replacing volume as dermal filler (hyaluronic acid). Sometimes, PRP will be mixed with dermal filler for improved volumization. On the other hand, PRP seems to work better for the under eye area, especially when there is not a lot of volume deficit. PRP is especially good at helping with skin texture, fine lines, crepey skin, elasticity, etc. It does take time to see improvements with PRP under the eyes, and younger patients tend to respond faster. Do you know how much PRP was injected on each side, the depth of injection and the concentration of the PRP? These would be important considerations. I recommend discussing your situation with your PRP specialist. In the undereye area, are you targeting volume loss, dark circles, skin texture, or some combination of these factors? There is no harm in injecting PRP every 4-6 weeks, or perhaps even closer together. Although I would not inject more frequently than every 2 weeks. Best wishes, Patrick Yam MD
