A: Depends on the type of wrinkles

Vishal Kapoor, MD

It really depends on which wrinkles you are referring to - if it is the crow's feet area (just to the sides of the eyes, which become more apparent when you squint), then Botox is the best way to soften these, althought it is unlikely that you will get rid of them completely. Now if you have many fine lines... more

A: Botox is still the best treatment

Ronald Shelton, MD

Botox is still the best treatment for these lines, unless they are below the eye. Juvederm and Restylane are hyaluronic acids and may cause a visible lump in the very thin skin of the lower eyelid but can work well in the Crow’s feet lines at the sides of the eyelids. Sometimes the little lumps can look... more

A: Juvederm , Elevess and Cosmoderm are all very good for superficial or medium creases.

The reason is that, at least in my experience, it tends to produce a little less swelling, which is really important in the lower eyelids. This procedure takes a... more

A: The injector is most important

Steven F. Weiner, MD

When you get filler around the eyes, you mainly help the sunken areas around the eye and tear trough area.  The fine lines are only slighly corrected.  Restylane seems to stay in place better than Juvederm and has a longer track record..  More important than the filler is the injector and... more

I tend to combine botox and fillers to give that natural look. I tend to use Evolence Breeze for the under  yee lines and very minute amounts to get that "right" look. But at the end of the day it really depends on exactly the effect one is looking for.
