Love your info doc. Plan to be in NYC at the end of February. Hope to schedule a consult with you then:)
Thank you for watching, Truth! I hope to see you sometime soon.
This is so informative! I was going to get PRP treatments to make my undereyes look less tired. However, I'm having a rhinoplasty/septoplasty to correct a deviated septum. I'm concerned that the bruising resulting from the surgery will undo any benefits from the PRP treatments. Would you say it's okay to do it still or wait until after the surgery? I also wouldn't want the PRP to interfere with proper healing of the nose.
Hi Claudia Keefer,
PRP actually does help expedite surgical healing, instead of hindering it. I often perform PRP treatments at the same time as surgery, as well as after. You can talk to your surgeon about it. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Excellent explanation! Thankyou
I'm glad you found the video informative, @dawnlopppnow2115. Thank you for watching!
Hey, dr. Are there any options for people who just have dark circles due to thin skin? It seems like there aren’t any

Please MUSTER, do you advise me to try fotona laser for my small eye bags?what about it?does it make my eyes smaller than before?l want to try it but lm afraid of changing my eyes shape ?l don't want to try anything else not useful for my case, thanks alot lm waiting for your device
Hi @@baselbasel9602,
Non-surgical laser treatments on the skin are not appropriate for treating the prolapsed fat that causes eye bags, which are under the skin. You can refer to this video about it - th-cam.com/video/cU0B9-IahGk/w-d-xo.html

PRP is a possible treatment, but a proper examination of your issue is needed to determine what the best treatment is for you. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hello doctor happy December to you I have a question ( if I had a tattoo done fresh like 2 days ago , can I still go do a prp ) reason I asked I know they will draw blood from my hand and I feel since I have gotten tattoos , will it be safe from dem to draw blood from my hand that has fresh tattoos ???
Hi @revolverocelot2253,
It shouldn't be an issue to have treatment. If PRP was being done in the same general area as the tattoo, I would advise to wait a month due to temporary swelling in the tattoo area. However, it should be safe to have PRP treatment if your tattoo is in a different area than the injection site. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hello doctor can prp under eye or in tear trough area occlude artery or cause vision issue?
I have heard fillers sometimes do that
Hi Koshy Daniel,
PRP won't cause vascular occlusion as it doesn't have the viscosity of a filler to potentially block the artery. Keep in mind that PRP is still part of the blood, so it can circulate through an artery.
I did make a video about the risks of under eye fillers, and how they are avoided and minimized, for your reference - th-cam.com/video/lA6ietCvZf8/w-d-xo.html
Thank you very much for clearly listing what PRP can do 😊. I would like ask a follow up question.
1. Would it be advisable to inject prp first and then do procedure. How do you space procedure and prp injection in your practice
2. Can injecting PRP in eyebrow help growth and density?
Hi Satish Kumar,
1. It depends on what you are trying to treat. If you are treating eye bags with under eye wrinkling, it is best to treat the eye bags separately, and use PRP to treat skin quality to improve the appearance of the wrinkles. I usually perform both procedures at the same time, as PRP can also help with healing from surgery.
2. I use a PRP combination treatment for stimulating thicker hair growth as it works much better, with less treatment sessions, than PRP alone. While these videos focus on pattern hair loss treatment, the same treatment has successfully thickened thinning eyebrows:

Hello doctor ! I've read and watched videos about PRF for under eyes hollowness ..iam 38 and I suffer from bad nose allergies which gave me dark circles and hollowness for almost all my life.. I don't want to do eye fillers as I read that it is not really a good choice so iam considering prF and I want your point of view of possible doctor and thank you so much
Hi Nowara84,
While PRF can help improve skin quality to treat dark circles, for hollowness, it doesn't have the strength of a hyaluronic acid filler, or the longevity. The volume effects of PRF only last 3 weeks. You can refer to this video video about it - th-cam.com/video/5f7_CLtYzNY/w-d-xo.html
When will you start administering PRF fillers? Dr Rajani here on YT, has introduced me to that filler but not many practices offer it here on the East Coast 😭
Hi Niko Paz,
I do administer PRF for skin quality improvement, but it does not provide enough of a volume effect to be considered a filler, or replace hyaluronic acid fillers. I hope this clarifies things for you.
@@AmiyaPrasadMD what is your take on using prf fillers in conjunction with EZ GEL? Would that increase volume for the areas needed? let's say temples + laugh lines..?
Hi@@nzzimi,
We do use bio fillers with PRF when they are the best treatment for a particular situation, and in some patients who prefer not to use hyaluronic acid. However, they are not a complete replacement for hyaluronic acid fillers in every situation, and they generally don't last as long as hyaluronic acid fillers. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Do you also use PRF in your practice? Thanks for sharing, love your videos. Sorry, I just saw your comment below on PRF. I think it's different in the sense that you are using more growth factors and the colour is more red as opposed to the yellow plasma (thus causing more bruising than PRP) PRF is becoming more popular everywhere it seems.
Hi Val Oak,
Yes, we do administer PRF to patients for the right situations.
@@AmiyaPrasadMD thank you
You're welcome,@@valoak928
I’m tan from being partially mid Eastern too (tanner than her) and get lasers all the time 🤣🤣. PRP did nothing for me on my face or the hair treatment version…
Hi xKarenWalkerx,
Which is the patient you are referring to? The patient at the top of the thumbnail had fractional CO2 laser and PRP. I don't administer PRP alone for pattern hair loss, as our combination treatment lasts 3-5 years from only 1-2 treatment sessions.
Hello I have darkness under the eye, purple colour and middle eastern background. My eyes are puffy sometimes but sometimes I feel as if its only the darkness that is the problem. How can I figure out if lower blepharoplasty is needed or not besides the PRP. Because right now I have done one prp treatment with no results and I am planning to do more prp treatments, but I dont know if blepharoplasty is needed aswell or if it is enough with prp treatment alone for the darkness. Is there a way to see if I indeed have eye bags aswell?
Hi Erik And,
Lower blepharoplasty is appropriate for puffy under eye bags, not for dark circles. For darker skin types, a radiofrequency device in addition to PRP may help with dark circles. A physical examination is needed to determine the appropriate treatment for your dark circles, and to diagnose if you have puffy eye bags. These videos feature the ways I treat under eye dark circles in my practice:

th-cam.com/video/RHJodb437o4/w-d-xo.html
@@AmiyaPrasadMD Thank you for the answer. So generally speaking, if the puffyness is not a problem, I can only do Prp and radiofrequency to fix the darkness? I have done 1 prp treatment so far with no results, but I will continue.
I am only 19 years old by the way.
Also what do you think about trying retinol eye cream for me?
Hi@@ErikAnd-mx1ge,
I usually don’t recommend treatment at your age for dark circles as your face is still growing and maturing, and often these issues do correct themselves as your face continues to grow. When I say, “young people” in my videos, I do mean adults in their 20s and 30s. If you still have the problem when you are older, say when you are in your early 20s when your face has stopped growing, then treatment can be considered. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hello Doctor, I really like your face, smile and delivery. I’d love to come see your for upper and lower eye-lift. Xo. Lisa

Dr sir iam using minoxidil for my hair, can i use the same for my beared growth..
Is there any problem on using minoxidil for both hair ane beard together...
If so
What will be the good way to balance both
Hi NiljaNilja Nel,
I hope you understand that I focus primarily on treating pattern hair loss, and I don't focus on treating beard growth. Our TrichoStem Hair Regeneration patients actually stop using minoxidil on their scalp after our injection treatment, as shown in this video - th-cam.com/video/T5iPdCfZ2Ng/w-d-xo.html
sir, is under-eye PRP treatment effective for dark circles caused by sunken eyes?
Hi Abdul kareem,
PRP is effective at treating discoloration that causes dark circles, but PRP alone cannot treat the sunkeness as additional filler may also be needed.

What’s your take on PRF? Is it really superior to PRP?
Hi Poseidon77,
PRF, or PRFM is still PRP, but just made thicker with calcium chloride. I do administer it in place of PRP when slower release of growth factors are needed, such as in healing, but generally they are the same material, so the effects are the same. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hi Dr @prasad should I go for fat grafting for dark circles? As filler and prp is ineffective for me I tried in past with zero results

I had a Ptosis surgery on one of my eyelids 3 years ago, now my "good" eyelid has slowly become more droopy, especially when I'm tired or fatigued. The eyelid that was previously corrected never droops, even when I'm tired. Is it a good idea to correct the "good" eyelid? or Do both need correction?
Hi Carbon,
A ptosis examination is needed for your previously unaffected to measure muscle function, and your treated eyelid may as well be assessed as well. You can refer to these videos on how I diagnose, and treat eyelid ptosis in my practice; and how the results of ptosis surgery can regress over the years:
th-cam.com/video/7gWSjQce3DQ/w-d-xo.html
th-cam.com/video/4FHEWqPKZMU/w-d-xo.html
@@AmiyaPrasadMD Thank you, I remember my previous surgeon saying that the "good" eye will try to over correct and become droopy, it did this during it's recovery phase and has ever since been "droopy" causing both eyes to still look noticeably uneven like before, especially when I am tired. I notice people look at my droopy eyelid all the time. Thank you, I will book a consultation on your website. I have followed your videos over the past 4-5 years. I chose my previous surgeon because he quoted me at 1,500 for the scarless surgery but the results were not satisfactory because all it did was switch the eye that the Ptosis appears on.
Hi@@cbot375,
That might be a case of Hering's Law, where raising one eyelid causes the other to droop, but this can be diagnosed before surgery, and treating both eyelids can correct this issue. I hope to hear from you soon.

Are PRP results permanent or temporary? Love your videos. They’re very informative and you do a great job explaining things.
Hi MidNiteR32,
While PRP improves skin quality, thickness, and health from within, so it's a lasting treatment that doesn't fade like say filler or Botox, treatment does not stop the skin from aging, nor does it stop the effects of environmental factors like sun exposure or pollution. You can refer to this video I made about the expectations of "permanent" treatments - th-cam.com/video/TzQOCp5RRzU/w-d-xo.html
@@AmiyaPrasadMDbut this is true of any procedure. Even surgery doesn’t stop the effects of aging.
Hi@@rr2445,
Yes, you are right. However, we do get the question a lot of effects of any procedure are "permanent", which is an unrealistic expectation. I even made a video about why there are very few, if any "permanent" cosmetic medical procedures, for your reference - th-cam.com/video/TzQOCp5RRzU/w-d-xo.html
Dr iam experiencing hair thinning issue since i was 17 now iam 19 years old lost almost hairs on top, but iam not considering a hair transplant surgery now coz its too young for doing ht. So iam following medications like prp, minoxidil and finasterade and waiting to get transplanted in future.
My question is
My donor zone is good now, it seems good density and thickness.
Will the density and thickness good availability of grafts decreases at my 30 age when i want to get transplanted?
Hi Popcorn Mania,
The permanent zone in the donor area is genetically resistant to hair thinning, so it should still be thick by the time you are eligible for a transplant. Keep in mind that while FUT surgeries only use grafts from the permanent zone, FUEs can take grafts outside of this area that are prone to thinning.
As long as you are on finasteride already since your DHT-sensitivity is high with your early onset of pattern hair loss, and continue using finasteride after our treatment, you can consider a non-surgical hair transplant alternative to thicken thinning hair. You can refer to this video about it - th-cam.com/video/hBeBbCXPHFA/w-d-xo.html
Hi, doc i want to ask that how to know if someone have dark circle or under eye hollow which cause dark circles?
2. Do only injecting prp work without hylauric acid?
3. For how long it will last into skin the procedure you are doing?
Hi Just a simple human,
1. By appearance, and diagnosed with a physical examination
2. PRP alone might work for dark circles, but it won't treat the hollowing if there is a volume deficit, so a hyaluronic acid filler will be needed to add volume.
3. PRP improves skin quality and health from within, so effects last, but the skin is still prone to aging, lifestyle factors, and environmental factors. I hope this clarifies things for you.
I'd like to see prp combined with C02 fractional laser surgery . As both seem to produce good results .
Hi Stackadolla,
The first patient featured on the thumbnail shows PRP combined with fractional CO2 laser, but these are both non-surgical procedures, although the patient also had lower eyelid surgery for eye bags. There are other patients featured in the video who were treated with a similar combination of treatments. I hope this clarifies things for you.
@@AmiyaPrasadMD Thank you for taking the time to reply to me . One last question do you think having full body stem cell therapy before any cosmetic treatments , would increase the effectiveness of any treatments since stem cells are the main thing behind cell regeneration & recovery . As i'd really like to see someone after they've had full stem cell augmentation , Then the new combination of rf microneedling , C02 fractional laser finished off with Prp . Compared to surgery
Hi@@DALINKUP,
The term "stem cell therapy" is too general, and covers different treatments. I don't think it's necessary to have any of them done before collagen induction treatments like microneedling, radiofrequency, or CO2 laser. PRP can be considered a stem cell therapy since it contains your own stem cells, as well as a collagen induction therapy. I hope this clarifies things for you.

Does prp treatment for under eye hollow is permanent or temporary plz sir guide me
Hi @ayushkalura3582,
PRP treatment can thicken and improve lower eyelid skin, but it can't treat the lack of volume behind lower eyelid skin. PRP and other treatments also can't stop the effects of aging, so they can't be "permanent" treatments. Semi permanent, and permanent fillers are highly prone to complications in the long-term, so these are not recommended. You can refer to these videos about the different treatments for under eye hollowness, why fat grafting is not advised in thin lower eyelid skin, and why permanent and semi-permanent fillers are not recommended:

Any trauma to the skin, such as a needle or cannula penetrating it can result in some swelling. However, PRP injections usually have minimal swelling at the time of the procedure, but this also depends on your individual skin sensitivity, as well as the technique of the doctor performing your procedure. I hope this clarifies things for you.

I am only 19 and has a bit hollowness and eyebags my doctor recommends me this treatment of three sessions of prp so should I go for this or not?
Hi @toobafatima6643,
PRP is a treatment to improve skin quality, which you should already have in abundance at your young age of 19. PRP is not a treatment for eye bags, or hollowness because it can't reduce the fat that causes eye bags, and it doesn't provide lasting volume to treat hollowness.
I usually don't recommend treatments for hollowing, or eye bags at your age since your face is still growing and maturing at your age, so these issues can still resolve on their own. If you still have the problem when you are older, say when you are in your early 20s when your face has stopped growing, then treatment can be considered. I hope this clarifies things for you.
@@AmiyaPrasadMD so how I can get rid of these hollowness and eyebags ?? It's not genetic issue . I do all the efforts so that I can get rid of these issue but always fails to do so ? What should I do because I am bit insecure about myself due to these bags:'(
Hi@@toobafatima6643,
I generally don't recommend treatment for someone as young as you, as stated above. If you insist on treatment, I suggest you see a different doctor who isn't recommending PRP for volume, or for eye bags. If you consider lower surgery, ask for transconjunctival blepharoplasty by name with no skin removal, and no external incision to preserve the shape of your eyes. The problem with possible treatment of filler at your age is you will have the cost to maintain it every year. Don't opt for permanent fillers because they are highly prone to complications. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hi, is PRP Mixed with hyaluronic acid safer than just fillers?
Hi Kashy,
Hyaluronic acid fillers are safe, but the risks of fillers are associated with placement rather than the material. PRP mixed with less viscous hyaluronic acid is used for skin rejuvenation with collagen stimulation, and skin hydration; while PRP mixed with more viscous hyaluronic acid fillers is used for volume enhancement as well as collagen stimulation. I hope this clarifies things for you.

@@AmiyaPrasadMD Thankyou you Doctor , I am in India so I am unable to visit you right now, is there any online consultation facility?, Nobody in my family has puffiness under eyes but for me since last 2-3 years I wake up with puffy face every day and also skin on my face , around my eyes is thinning and becoming extremely dry making it look very dehydrated, I consulted with a doctor they suggested prophilo but I don't want any kind of filler on my face this early and also I am confused If prophilo is filler or not .
Hi@@amishapatel3888,
Our online consultations involve a consultation fee.
Profhilo is a hyaluronic acid hydration and moisturizing treatment. While it does use hyaluronic acid like fillers, it's a different composition so it doesn't act like a filler. If you wake up with puffiness under the eyes, but it's not visible all day, it's likely caused by something else that is not treated with surgery. You can refer to this video about the different causes of puffiness - th-cam.com/video/kDxDW7Qeuog/w-d-xo.html

Does PRP or PRF works for dark circles
Hi @Zennie371,
Yes, it is shown in the video, and in the thumbnail, but it may be needed to be combined with other procedures like laser, or radiofrequency treatment for best results. I hope this clarifies things for you.
There are many procedures very effective for the eyes, eyelids without surgery.
Hi Miranda Frost,
Yes, I feature non-surgical eyelid treatments in the video, including: laser treatment, radiofrequency treatment, PRP, injectable fillers, and neurotoxins like Botox. However, there are often cases where surgery cannot be replaced by non-surgical treatments; and often their issues such as wrinkles that should not be treated with surgery. I hope this clarifies things for you.
I was told that my dark circles aren’t from volume loss. That they’re the result of veins showing through skin. Can lasers or prp make it go away?
Hi Tooth n Nails,
PRP can thicken lower eyelid skin to improve the appearance of dark circles by revealing less of the darker anatomy underneath. While a physical examination is needed before making specific recommendations for you, these videos feature the ways I treat under eye dark circles in my practice:

I was thinking of getting PRP treatments instead of fillers however I’ve read a lot of women say PRP doesn’t last. That eventually after a few weeks their eyes/skin go back to looking hollow and dark so I don’t know
Hi @BlessedLife291,
The other women are absolutely right as the volume effect of PRP, or PRF do not last more than 3 weeks, as compared to hyaluronic acid fillers that last about a year. I was going to send you the video I made about this, but I see you've already seen it.
@@AmiyaPrasadMD Good Morning Doc. I was having a PRP treatment yesterday. Last week, Fillers were the first choice but another doctor here on TH-cam suggested that PRP is better than Fillers for treatment dark circles or hollow and dark portion under the eyes. So for the next treament, what treatment should I be doing if ever this PRF fades away in 3 weeks or so? The other youtuber doctor said that PRP last for 6-18 months. Now, I'm not sure anymore if I did the right decision.
Hi@@JapanLovez,
PRP or PRF have a lasting effect on improving skin quality, texture, and thickness, but they are not meant to have a lasting effect on volume. It's not a question of PRP/PRF or filler, as both treatments can be done at the same time to treat skin quality, and hollowing. You can refer to this video on why PRP or PRF cannot replace filler - th-cam.com/video/5f7_CLtYzNY/w-d-xo.html
@@AmiyaPrasadMD thank you so much Dic for the great reply
You're welcome, @@JapanLovez
Why people like zayn malik don't have receding hairline?
Hi Alex Wadagale,
Pattern hair loss is a genetic condition, which not all people are affected by. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Ok,thank you
You're welcome,@@alexwadagale9482
PRP does not give volume
Hi Krg,
You are right that PRP is not a treatment for volume, but this is a video about skin rejuvenation. You can refer to these videos about treating under eye hollows, and hollow cheeks with different volume treatments:
