Will PRP treatment under the eyes help increase collagen or thicken skin?

Question

I have dark circles under my eyes and want to have fat grafting done eventually but for the time being will PRP treatment under the eyes help increase collagen or thicken skin especially in my right eye as it also has a deeper tear trough that is visible even in good lighting

Duncan Turner, MD · Answer

The injection of PRP to improve the appearance is a safe and somewhat effective procedure in the right hands. It will stimulate collagen production but will need to be repeated. Current thoughts include a gradual improvement with each injection having an improvement over the previous one. Long term it could be better than fat injections but there is no definitive research of which I am aware.

Thank you for your message! PRP is a great option to help boost collagen building in the areas where it is injected which can help improve volume loss over time and skin texture. Typically multiple treatments are needed, spaced about 6-8 weeks apart. If you are able to keep up with the treatments, patients tend to have a good response! We often couple the PRP injections with microneedling for an extra boost!
