There are options for you to significantly improve fine lines beneath the eye.
Botox is often used to reduce "crow's feet" to the side of the eyes however, it can be used in very small quantities to reduce fine lines under the eyes as well. Other options may include dermal fillers (Restylane), laser resurfacing or surgery to remove excess skin.

Best Treatment for Lower Eye Lid lines and wrinkles
Wrinkles are caused by a combination of repeated muscle movements under the skin as well as skin thinning and stretching. While Botox is used with great results elsewhere in the face its use in the lower lid is quite problematic. Weakening the thin muscle right under the lower lid skin removed the support for the fat right under the eye globe and leads to ugly protrusion of the fat causing turned red and puffly lower lids thereby defeating the whole purpose of the treatment. Instead, such...

Botox is uncommonly used for under eyelid lines
The lines might improve from Botox injecitons in the lower eyelids but many patients develop more problematic side effects such as puffiness or droopiness of the lower eyelids which can cause a functional problem. Laser or plasma resurfacing or possibly skin excision and blepharoplasty might be better options.

Restylane is best for under eye lines
Botox cannot be used under the eyes. The under eye area needs to be treated with a filler. For under eye circles I prefer using Restylane.

Under eye regions can be treated upon the condition that the muscles around the eye & skin have enough elasticity to prevent unwanted sagging appearance. I generally inject micro droplet amounts based on patient need in multiple sites as opposed to traditional single site injection.

Botox and under eye lines
In many patients, a small amount of Botox used just below the eye helps reduce the appearance of small "crepey" wrinkles that commonly occur in that area. It should be used with caution in older patients and patients who have had a lower lid Blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery).

Botox can help with undereye wrinkles
Botox works by relaxing the muscles and is especially effective for the crows feet around the eyes. It can also help with horizontal lower eyelid wrinkles and can be often done in combination with a soft tissue filler.

Lower eyelid lines and Botox
Botox is often used to treat the crowsfeet area around the lateral part of the eyelids. It is also possible to use a lower dosage to treat the lower eyelid wrinkles, however the risk of developing weakness in closing the eyelid is higher. Other options for treating lower eyelid lines include eyelid sugery (blepharoplasty), injectable fillers (Restylane) and laser skin resurfacing or chemical peels.

BOTOX under eyes
I agree that BOTOX alone under the eye, unlike the forehead, can be a problem. A combined approach with resurfacing, fat grafting and/or eyelid surgery may sound more invasive but can have beautiful, long lasting results. Good luck!

Botox for under eye wrinkles
In many cases, the best approach to improve the appearance of this area is a combination of Botox or Dysport, dermal fillers to add volume, laser resurfacing, and good, daily skin care products.
A consultation to discuss viable treatment options is a good place to start. Always ask to see before/after photos of actual patients to help better define the treatment plan and your goals.

BOTOX can be used to soften lower eyelid lines.
However, it is now much more common to help this area with fillers. The fillers last much longer than the BOTOX. Also too much BOTOX can cause weakness in the lower eyelid with slumping of the eyelid position.

Undereye wrinkles
To determine how to treat undereye wrinkles, one must first understand what is causing them. If the wrinkles are caused by too much skin, injection of fillers or surgery may help. If the wrinkling is due to chronic sun damage, laser resurfacing may be necessary. If the wrinkling is due to excessive muscle movement, botox will help. I think you should invest in seeing an experienced physcian who specializes in cosmetic dermatology!

Botox for around the eyes
Botox helps diminish the appearance of crows feet. It can also help minimize the "roll" (orbicularis muscle hypertrophy) some people get under their eyes when smiling. You have to be careful about injections under the eye, too much Botox/Dysport can cause the lower eyelid to sag and change the shape of the eye.
Ways to address fine wrinkling of the eyelid skin can include: chemical peels and laser resurfacing. Also using topical creams such as a...

Botox for Eye lines
Botox can relax any wrinkly associated with muscle movement.
In certain areas, however, movement reduction can produce unwanted side effects.
Around the eyes, botox works well on crow's feet and can help with horizontal lower lid lines. Small injections into the lower eyelid can help with these lines and, occasionally, with puffiness associated with muscle bulging. Too much botox in this area can cause weakness of the tear pumping action of the muscle and can result in a tearing...

Botox for lines under the eyes
Botox can be used to reduce some fine lines under the eyes. This has to be done carefully with only a small amount of Botox or Dysport. One also has to make sure that there is enough muscle tone in the area since excessive weakening the muscle can sometimes lead to fluid accumulation or additional protusion of the fat pad below the eyes. In addition sometimes an ectropion(a turning out of the lid so that the inner part is exposed) can develop.
