Will multiple sessions of microneedling with PRP be enough to see significant improvement in my under eye bags? Or maybe in conjunction with filler? Or am I better off just having lower eyelid surgery? (Hoping microneedling will also help melasma and acne scarring but primary concern are the under eye bags.)

Answer: Under eyes Hello and thank you for your question and photos. For a quick result, add filler in the tear troughs and a little filler through the front of the cheek. This will soften the darkness under your eyes (volbella) and the voluma will fill and lift the front of your cheek while supporting the under eye. If you are patient that does not mind waiting, prp for the under eyes, after 3-4 treatments, can be beneficial. PRP creates new blood vessel growth, creates collagen and strengthens skin. Results are seen as soon as 1 week, but will continue to improve over 6 months. Results from the treatments typically last 1 year. Downtime after prp can be up to 1 week of swelling/bruising. Filler results for most patients last 9-12 months. We do have patients that do both procedures to maintain the under eye and cheek areas. Hope this helps. Good luck to you!
