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: 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
