Treating eye wrinkles

Dear Vivy It is very important for you to understand that there is no single best treatment for your crows feet and lower eyelid lines. Or for anyone's crows feet and lower eyelid lines for that matter. It is critical to understand that our needs and what is needed to address these concerns also change over time. What was unnecessary or over aggressive at one point in time might be essential at another time. How you feel about treatment approaches and what types of things you can... more

The best eye wrinkle cream does not exist

There is no cream that is 100% effective at removing eyelid wrinkles. There are various plumping agents from skin ceuticals, obagi and md forte that help but they do not completely eliminate the problem Laser treatment is perhaps the best long term solution and botox is also effective temporary treatment. Other options include skin care moisturizers. However, a little trick that I have seen that works well is to wet your lower eyelids at night and then while it is still wet coat them with... more

Only one cream and one laser really work for eyelid wrinkles

Of all the creams available for wrinkles, especially eyelid wrinkles, only one has a substantial amount of real scientific data to support the claims of wrinkle reduction. That cream is tretinoin (available as both a generic prescription cream and brand name prescription cream - Retin A, Renova, etc).

As far as creams are concerned, those containing retinoids (e.g. renova), potent antioxidants (e.g. Revale or Prevage), glycolic acid (Vivite) and a mixture of growth factors and antioxidants... more

Best eye wrinkle treatment is tailored made for you

The best wrinkle treatment will depend on what is causing the "wrinkle". If you analyze the problem, it will be much clearer what the best solution is for you. Eye wrinkles can be caused by various factors, or a combination of factors. The two most common causes are skin laxity and muscle contraction. Skin laxity is loosening of the skin and stretching or breakdown of collagen and elastin, typically from sun exposure, smoking, or eyelid rubbing (which is common if you have... more

Prevent eye wrinkles with sunscreen

Whereas I do generally agree with my colleagues' answers, I am quite surprised that sun screen is rarely mentioned. If ever there is a "magic pill" in our arsenal against aging, it has to be avoiding sun damage. Use sunscreen every day, especially on our most delicate skin areas that are exposed to daily sun. Of course, good sunglasses are also essential. Now, if the damage is done, there are of course an arsenal of solutions. It is, as I am sure you have read, an individual... more

Botox and laser for eyelid wrinkles

Botox works very well for dynamic lines or lines around the eyes which occur with expression.  Laser resurfacing works well for static lines, especially the fractional Co2.
