Hi I have under eye wrinkles. They are not visible when I don’t have makeup on. But when I wear makeup, the makeup settles in and it looks really bad! And for some reason when it gets later through the out the day, my eyes become very heavy and the wrinkles appear even more but they will be less apparent the next following morning. Which is the best method: Botox or fillers? And what are the precautions. Will any of those methods worsen the wrinkles in time? I am 23 years old.
Answer: Dark Circles/Eye Bags/Wrinkles -- Fillers Belotero, Juvederm Volbella; Laser Like Fraxel/Co2/J Plasma; Microneedling/PRP; Peels botox may help if the wrinkles appear when you smile otherwise lasers, fillers, micro needling and peels are needed. There are many things you can do to treat under eye hollows and dark circles. A surgical option to remove skin and/or fat will be the best long term. There are many things you can do to treat under eye hollows and dark circles. A surgical option to remove skin and/or fat will be the best long term. However, non invasive less downtime options such as fillers, lasers, microneedling/PRP, cosmelan peels and stem cells can all help give some improvement. I suggest. You get a formal consultation to see what is best for you and your goals. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: Combination Treatments for Eye Wrinkles Thank you for your question. Great results for the eye come from combination treatments. Aging in the eye area is related to thinning of the skin, changes in muscular contractions, and changes in the orbital bone structure, which unfortunately, start to become visible in our early 20’s. Using combination modalities will address all of these concerns. Botox ® may help with fine lines. We can use dermal fillers in small amounts to correct any volume loss in the area. When volume is restored, skin reflects light better and has a more radiant glow. It is also important to use an eye cream containing a retinoid, hyaluronic acid, and caffeine, which will provide immediate hydration to the skin, and help thicken and restore skin with consistent daily use. We prefer the Illumine Eye Cream from Sente. You could potentially be a candidate for laser resurfacing or microneedling of the eye area. In our practice we have more than 45 lasers that we use, sometimes in combination together, to help our patients achieve their goals. We always recommend the combination of multiple treatment modalities to get the best results for each of our patients. Please consult a board-certified cosmetic dermatologist near you who can provide a formal assessment on best managing this delicate area.

Answer: Aesthetic Facial Balancing for Wrinkles Under Eyes Hello, and thank you for your question! You are not alone, many people are displeased with wrinkles under their eyes. Botox would not be my suggestion at all. I typically treat patients with a technique that I call "Aesthetic Facial Balancing." You may think you don't want fillers, but please understand all filler interventions are not equal and all fillers are not equal. The results last for years. In this technique I use the body's own fat, hyaluronic acid based fillers, or allograft materials to rebuild the natural periorbital soft tissue of youth which creates a refreshed and beautified appearance and can make wrinkles disappear. I hope this helps! Wishing you fantastic results, Dr. Rian A. Maercks M.D.

Answer: Options There are many options to help improve the look of the under eye area. Often times a combination of treatments will yield the best result. I encourage you to meet with an expert injector near you for a consultation. Some options that may be discussed are fillers to improve contour irregularities, and treatments such as lasers, chemical peels, or microneedling which can improve skin tone and texture. Certainly you will want to use medical grade skin care products and swear sunscreen every day.

Answer: Botox or under eye fillers for wrinkles under the eyes? Lower eyelid wrinkles are the result of movement over time, volume loss and thinning of the skin. How significant each factor is determines the treatment needed.A good lower eyelid cream containing retinoic acid is a good start for you.Botox is great at decreasing movement and folding of the skin in this area and a good treatment at this time.When lines are present at rest not just with motion a more aggressive approach becomes necessary. This can be in the form of radiofrequency such as Exilis ME, chemical peels or laser resurfacing depending on how much improvement is needed in the skin.Seek out a board certified plastic surgeon to evaluate you and start you on the right regimen for you.Good luck and I hope you found this helpful.

Answer: Botoxed! These are a common reason for people to come in. You really may need a combination of both. There is also some other skin tighten techniques we can add to help really smooth things out.I have even done a lower lid skin pinch in patients that want them GONE GONE.In most patients they are from a combination of skin excess, skin inflammation and volume loss. So you can imagine to tackle these most naturally we need to approach it from a multi-factorial standpoint. Best,DrC
