What can be done to treat under eye wrinkles? (Photo)

An exam is needed for specific recommendations but there are various options to address the under eye area. You can consider dermal fillers to improve contours. AccuTite is a minimally invasive procedure that can safely be used on the delicate under eye area to tighten skin. Morpheus8 is another option to address this area. We also recommend using medical grade skin care products like Transform MD and wearing sunscreen every day. You can learn more by visiting my website or a provider near you.

Thanks for your question. Two of the most effective devices I have worked with for this indication are:
Sofwave- utilizing microfocused ultrasound to deliver heat to the deep dermis at a depth of 1.5mm, generating new collagen and elastin in the skin. It's a very popular treatment also as it has no downtime!
Morpheus8- utilizing RF energy delivered at the tips of micropins. With this approach you get the collagen stimulation of the heat PLUS the collagen stimulation of the microneedling, so you can potentially get more result per session, but at the expense of 'some downtime'- puffiness, faint redness for a day or two, potential bruising.
Both work very well, both require topical numbing. Both have small applicators designed to work in this delicate region- the Precise Handpiece for the Sofwave, and the Prime Tip for the Morpheus8.
Both are very safe though in particular with the Morpheus8 I would be careful to go to a provider you can firmly 'trust'- based on reputation, reviews, and/or recommendations of others, as this one can cause a burn if technique is not good on the part of the provider. I hope that helps!

Morpheus 8 is a non-invasive skin and soft tissue tightening treatment that is consistently amazing in our patients. We use the Morpheus to exact fractional induced RF into the skin or tissue in order to tighten collagen and stimulate contraction of the tissue. For acne scars, it is quite useful to build collagen in patients who have atrophic scars but is not very productive for ice-pick scars which require TCA Cross. For tissue tightening, Morpheus is ideal for the face and neck and we often combine it with CO2 laser or Ultherapy to further enhance results. Chemical peels and skin resurfacing should be done at least 5 to 7 days after, but can be performed earlier, depending on treatment severity. Avoid exfoliating skin treatments before Morpheus and expect a period of 2-4 weeks for skin contraction to set in.
