Squint wrinkles - how can I get rid of them? (photos)

Thank you for your question and photo. You may benefit from RF microneedling or a laser resurfacing to treat fine lines and wrinkles in this area and improve mild skin laxity. RF microneedling combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy to boost collagen levels and smooth the skin from the inside out. The laser rejuvenates the skin by removing the outer layer of the skin to reveal the new, healthy skin below. I recommend scheduling an in-person consultation with an experienced, board-certified facial plastic surgeon who can assess your concern and help you decide on the best course of action.

The eye area needs significant combinations to get improvement. Lasers like erbium, co2, halo, profractional/contour, or Fraxel can all be used to build collagen long term. Plasma pen is a newer less invasive option but will take many treatments and require proper skincare. Plasma Pen is focused electrical plasma energy to tighten skin, producing small columns of energy just above the skin, allowing the skin to tighten to help improve wrinkles. This area will have 3-5 days of small “dots” that will then scab and peel, then the skin will tighter and brighter after. Numerous treatments are needed over lasers where only one or two give a bigger result, but more downtime. After plasma pen you NEED peels 2 weeks like later Cosmelan, enlighten or aerify, see emeragecosmetics (link). At home derma rolling should be started weekly even after plasma pen or lasers to further increase collagen, see emeragecosmetics AERIFY x anteagemd stem cell ampules. To properly heal you need light Stim red LED, EmerageSkin refit face, refit eye; AnteageMD serum, silagen silicone gel, jan Marini bioshield, EmerageSkin enzymatic polish, and EmerageSkin hyla b and AOX, and Sente dermal repair. Otherwise there is EXTREME risk of pigmentation issues and “dots” in the treatment area. at home peels like cosmelan, enlighten and aerify along with dermarolling (AERIFY emerageskin roller with Anteage MD ampules) should be started now regardless for antiaging, sun damage, and wrinkle prevention. 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 such as eyelid blepharoplasty with or without fat pad repositioning (if doing lower eyelid surgery) will be the best long term. There are many things you can do to treat under eye hollows and dark circles without surgery. Non invasive less downtime options such as fillers, lasers, microneedling/PRP, cosmelan peels, and microneedling RF like Fractora, PiXel8 or morpheus can all help give some improvement. Accutite can often be used or stronger lasers like erbium or co2 spot treatment can tighten the skin and give very quick improvement in wrinkles and texture. I suggest you get a formal consultation to see what is best for you and your goals. Best, Dr. Emer.

Regarding your fine lines and wrinkles on the inner corners of your eyelids, botox would not well address or treat these areas based on your concern and photo. My recommendation is for laser resurfacing around your eyelids. This can be performed with a variety of skin-lasers although the most common are generally CO2 or Erbium based. Your local oculoplastic or facial plastic surgeon would be able to better evaluate and treat your specific goals after a full examination of your facial movement.

Thank you for your question. As we age, we loose collagen which can produce lines and wrinkles. Botox can certainly help the wrinkles during movement which is a great option. Another option to help collage is a PRP under eye treatment. It uses your own platelets from your blood to help boost collagen and can be done monthly. Goodluck!

After looking at your pictures and reading your post I have come up with a few options that may help. You may want to try some botox around the sides of your nose to treat the "bunny lines" because the nasalis muscle may be contributing to those medial wrinkles. The other option to consider is some gentle under eye filler that may help to fill those areas and correct those wrinkle. If you are not a fan of filler in the area you may also want to try some micro-needling and PRP treatments to the under eye.

It's difficult to tell from your photo where the wrinkles are that concern you. The frown lines between the brows are commonly treated with Botox. "Bunny lines" as they are sometimes called that appear on the nose bridge are also relaxed with Botox. I encourage you to visit with an experienced injector to learn more.

Hello! Botox may be an option to trial in the area. A small dose of 1-2 units per side to see if you receive any benefit would be reasonable. The dose could then be increased accordingly. Fine wrinkling of the lower eyelids tends to respond well to neurotoxin. I would seek consultation with an injector to determine what may be best. Good luck!

Hello and thank you for your question. A face to face consult and examination is always best however in this scenario this could be treated with a small dose of superficially placed botox in the area. Please always seek treatment from a trained medical professional for any cosmetic treatment. Best wishes
