Hi, there. I'm a 27 year old woman who has unsightly under eye wrinkles. I take pretty good care if my skin.However, there seems to be nothing I can do to get rid of the creases under my eyes. My makeup settles in them, they are really aging me.Will Botox help with this and if not what will? Really appreciate any help with this. Thanks
Answer: Don't let anyone talk you into eyelid surgery Dear Leanne Botox can be used to weaken the lower eyelid orbiclularis that is responsible for making the lower eyelid wrinkles. The problem is that this same bit of muscle also helps hold the lower eyelid up against the eye. Weakening this muscle may smooth the eyelid but the price is usually mild slumping of the lower eyelid margin. This is not a good trade off. Filling the lower eyelid is a good alternative. The product to use is Restylane. An additional option is an appropriate chemical peel to firm the lower eyelid skin.

Non invasive less downtime options such as fillers (Belotero, Juvederm Volbella), lasers (Moxi/Halo/Fraxel/CO2), Renuvion (J-Plasma), microneedling/PRP, stem cells and microneedling RF like Fractora PiXel8 or Morpheus can all help give some improvement.

Answer: Botox for the under-eye area Hi there! Many thanks for your query. Botox injections can be carefully placed in the under-eye area to soften wrinkles caused by constriction of the obicularis oculi - the muscle that surrounds the eye however this must be carried out with caution / small quantities and in some cases is not overly effective. The lateral canthal lines / crows feet / smile lines are a common and safe area for injection. Sometimes hyaluronic acid based dermal filler such as juvederm volbella can be more effective at softening these lines along side the tear trough area. Please do ensure an expert practitioner if looking into any aesthetic procedures. Hope this helps! Best wishes, Dr Rupert

Answer: Under eye wrinkles To help minimise these lines you could consider a combination of radio-frequency treatments e.g. Pelleve or ultrasound sublative treatments e.g. Ultracel FRM, which can be very effective in stimulating your collagen and reducing fine lines around the eyes together with Botox to help minimise any tendency for crows feet. There are also a wide range of stem cell booster serums specifically designed to nourish the delicate skin around the eyes and help minimise wrinkles.

Answer: Botox for under eye wrinkles Botox can be used to improve wrinkles of the lower eyelid area, but must be done cautiously and by a skilled injector. This is an advanced technique that has the potential to create problems (such as bruising, worsening of puffiness, and others) if not performed properly. In the right patient, this can make a very nice improvement. Alternatives might include lower eyelid surgery or laser/chemical peel to the lower eyelid area, depending on the particular patient. All the best,

Answer: Botox You can try botox or any other neurotoxin under the eye however only a very small dose is necessary, otherwise you are at risk of dropping the lower lid. It works very well for some people in this area however others seem to not notice a significant difference. Other treatment options may include peels such as TCA, filler like Restylane, or even laser treatment like profractional to increase collagen stimulation. Hope this helps!
