Hi, there. I'm a 27 year old woman who has unsightly under eye wrinkles. I take pretty good care if my skin.However, there seems to be nothing I can do to get rid of the creases under my eyes. My makeup settles in them, they are really aging me.Will Botox help with this and if not what will? Really appreciate any help with this. Thanks

Answer: Botox for under eye wrinkles Botox can be used to improve wrinkles of the lower eyelid area, but must be done cautiously and by a skilled injector. This is an advanced technique that has the potential to create problems (such as bruising, worsening of puffiness, and others) if not performed properly.

Answer: A combination of Botox and skin resurfacing may do the trick Botox can help relax these lines, but must be done conservatively to prevent sagging of the lower eyelid rim. Coupling this with light skin resurfacing (chemical peel or laser) will help soften these lines. Another adjunct that will help is daily Retin A use under the guidance of a dermatologist.

Answer: Under eye wrinkles botox vs. LASER So it depends which lines you are talking about. Those dynamic lines when you smile are from the orbicularis muscle contracting which is a round sphincter type muscle. The wrinkles are then perpendicular to that contraction. This can be improved with botox. I use only a few units under the lid in patients.The really fine lines that people get under the eyes of the lower lid are really best treated with resurfacing techniques such as chemical peels or lasers. In my hands I get better results with the laser. If you add volume with either fat or fillers this puts the cherry on top to treat this issue. The reason is this is caused by skin aging (loss of elasticity) and volume loss (bone absorption and fat loss). So to best treat we need the combination.Hope this helps.Best of luck.DrC
