I'm 13 years old. How to get rid of deep creases? (photos)

Question

The creases started at age 9, they slowly got deeper and deeper as the years went on. I'm 13 now and I have horrible creases and a bad case of discolored bags under my eyes.

I recommend you not rub your eyes and see a dermatologist. You probably have atopic dermatitis. Wrinkling and hyperpigmentation are characteristic of that condition. In general hyperpigmentation is treated with bleach creams. If that fails lasers can help. Additional wrinkles can be prevented by avoiding excessive UV exposure. Laser resurfacing can help.

I'm sorry you are having this issue at such a young age.  In the area of the eyelid  where I see the creases, Botox is not an option, even if you were 60 years old. If you start using prescription strength skin care, from your plastic surgeon or dermatologist, this may be a good place to start and see some improvement.  Best Wishes.
