Don’t really want to get filler - does PRP help with under eye bags?

Question

I don’t really want to get filler but I’ve heard mixed things about PRP … is there any concrete proof it does anything?

Fractional laser is an amazing and highly effective treatment in our office. We use the laser treatment to help with acne scars, large pores, fine wrinkles, tissue collagen loss, scars, sebaceous hyperplasia, active acne, and for brightening dark pigmentation. Although there are very strong fractional lasers such as CO2 laser, we use lighter treatments for corrective skincare and maintenance of results. Our Thulium fractional laser, clear and brilliant laser, and Ultra Thulium laser are excellent options in our clinic. We also perform CO2 fractional and erbium depending on skin tone and tolerance for downtime. Patients do have to use a Melarase cream before and after treatment to help further reduce pigmentation after laser.  Melarase AM, Melarase PM, and Melapads can seriously improve surface sun damage and UV related pigmentation. Dark spots can improve with these treatments. I recommend fractional laser for incisional scars as well, especially after plastic surgery.

PRP works great to make your skin younger healthier and a bit tighter maybe….but it does not fill out any areas. Under eye bags are usually not due to just one factor. This means that fillers might work but sometimes additional treatment like surgery is necessary. PRP is not comparable to either. I suggest you dint waist your money until you’re ready for fillers.
