Can the upper eyelid area from above the eyelash line and up to the brow bone be treated with any kind of microneedling? (Photo)

Question

My therapist claims that the area mustn't be treated; the increased collagen/elastine amount in this area will make the upper eyelid area look more hooded/sagged because of the anatomy of the area and gravity. The therapist won't needle the brow itself neither. I've had 4 Dermatude treatments with one week's rest time inbetween the treatments to the rest if my 41 y/o face & neck and I am very satisfied with the results so far w.r.t. overall skin vitality, texture and hue. Thanks in advance.

Microneedling of the eyelids in general is more tricky.  Thickening of the upper lid skin can produce more undesireable lid fullness.Microneedling of the lower eyelids and crow's feet is particularly effective.  Addition of PRP and Vitamin C has shown to provide additional benefits.

The skin on the upper eyelid is super thin and fragile. One can get away with a micro needle that is .25 mm stamping technique, but this is not ideal. Fractional CO2 will give you a much better result, but also safer. All the bestDr Davin LimLaser DermatologistBrisbane, Australia.
