Can microneedling for under eye wrinkles, creepiness and lower cheek bags be helpful? (Photo)

Question

Here is my terrible photo! Any advice is appreciated!

Oxana Popescu, MD · Answer

Hello, and thank you for your question and photo.
 I believe you will need a combination of treatments: skin tightening with laser therapy ( fractional non ablative laser ), combined with repeated injectable PRP plus / minus HA filler treatments to restore the volume loss..
Microneedling will help too with the fine lines, but in your case you will need many treatments.

Good luck,

Morpheus 8 is a non-invasive skin and soft tissue tightening treatment that is consistently amazing in our patients. We use the Morpheus to exact fractional induced RF into the skin or tissue in order to tighten collagen and stimulate contraction of the tissue. For acne scars, it is quite useful to build collagen in patients who have atrophic scars but is not very productive for ice-pick scars which require TCA Cross. For tissue tightening, Morpheus is ideal for the face and neck and we often combine it with CO2 laser or Ultherapy to further enhance results. Chemical peels and skin resurfacing should be done at least 5 to 7 days after, but can be performed earlier, depending on treatment severity. Avoid exfoliating skin treatments before Morpheus and expect a period of 2-4 weeks for skin contraction to set in.

Best,

Although Microneedling can improve crepiness in these area, I have found Chemical Peels and Fractional CO2 Resurfacing to give better results. We use the Active FX/Deep FX laser and have seen excellent results in crepiness, fine lines and skin tightening
Fractional CO2 Resurfacing delivers energy in small dots that penetrate deeper into the skin to help build new collagen and elastin. The heat from the laser also generates skin contraction and tightening. We can treat the entire upper and lower eyelids with CO2 as long as eye shields are used.
We offer customized chemical peels (and eye peels) ranging from light to medium strength depending on your skin type and how bad the crepiness is.

I like to use a combination of different treatment modalities when improving the eyes. In your case, this would probably include an HA filler like Restylane for undereye volume loss, Botox or Dysport to open up the eyes, raise the eyebrows and treat dynamic lines and wrinkles around the eyes, and Ematrix (Sublative Rejuvenation) which used bipolar radiofrequency. The Ematrix helps stimulate collagen production. I find it helpful when trying to improve the quality of the skin around the eyes.

Microneedling with PRP works very well at refreshing your skin and stimulating collagen production. You will need multiple sessions, spaced 3-4 was apart. I would consider Vivace that uses microneedling with RF energy for optimal tightening.
