Lines under eyes, only 24 years old, how do I get rid of these?

As you can read most responders are in favor of a CONSERVATIVE approach. I too would try Botox first, better sun protection, than on to the fillers like restylane (first). Even IPL or light skin lasers can improve this.  Just be careful out there. Slow to better than in a hurry for the result.

 Eye wrinkles in a young person may be the result of many things. Including a normal lower lid crease related to the muscle.  I probably would not suggest anything to you.  WIthout an exam it would be difficult to tell.  

First, as Dr. Placik said, start with Botox if the lines are smile related.  Secondly, do better with sun protection as you already have a lot of freckles and over time your skin won't handle the sun well.  Third, use fillers such as Juvederm if there are hollows called "tear troughs" that... more

If the lines worsen with smiling Botox may help soften the appearance of these  lines by diminishing the underlying muscle activity. There are multiple other options including the use of chemical peels and laser treatments. Unfortunately because they are associated with smiling, it is likely that... more

There are various treatments ranging from topicals to laser treatments to surgical.  You do not need a surgical approach, but the Fraxel laser and similar technology has been very good for fine wrinkles of the face and lids as well as for facial rejuvenation.  Mild chemical peels may work well in... more
