Botox, Cosmoderm, and Sunglasses; Maybe RevaleSkin

Botox would be the mainstay of treating this area. However, too many units of Botox or Dysport, or placement too medially leads to increased lines below the eyes due to compensatory muscle activation. Injections in this area are far less painful than one would think. You will also be bruise-free since the injections are done so superficially.  Cosmoderm, a collagen based filler may be carefully placed in any of the lines which are left over. It is best to wait two weeks for this... more
