Hi! I have what i consider to be very prominent under eye wrinkles when I smile. Is there a way to reduce these without fear of damaging anything so close to my eyes?
Answer: How can I treat my under eye wrinkles? Thank you for your question and sharing your photo. Fine lines tend to appear with repeated muscle movement. To address fine lines/crows feet (lines at the corners of your eyes when smiling or squinting), a small amount of botox can be injected into the obicularis oculi muscle (surrounding the eye) to restrict your muscle movement a bit, lessen the lines and prevent the lines from becoming etched in. Resurfacing lasers (i.e. fraxel or Clear and Brilliant) can also help treat fine lines and stimulate your body's natural collagen production. Make sure to seek out an expert injector for your care. Best of luck!

Answer: Treatment for under eye bags and wrinkles There are generally three methods to reduce undereye bags and wrinkles. 1. Utilizing peels, lasers or any other ablative or semi ablative techniques to stimulate new collagen growth. Though effective, most people want to have little to no downtime and in order to get a very effective result with which most patients would be extremely satisfied, these techniques will fall short of their stated goals. These techniques are wonderful if they are utilized in an appropriate strength. 2. Carefully injecting a temporary filler (such as Belotero® or Restylane®) underneath the skin in hollow areas with magnification. This could be quite effective but does involve the risk of producing irregularities and lumps and will necessitate a certain amount of bruising. A permanent filler such as Bellafill ® or even a fat transfer utilizing purified fat from your body are also options. 3. Performing a simple surgery under local anesthesia called a pinch blepharoplasty. In this operation, a small strip of skin is removed directly underneath the lower eyelash line and results in a nearly invisible scar. The recovery is very rapid (a couple of days) and involves one single stitch which is removed in five days. This approach is actually the least complicated in appropriate hands and will produce the most consistent and significant of results in reducing lower eyelid bags and wrinkles.

Answer: Treating Under Eye Wrinkles? Fillers or surgery Under eye wrinkles can be permanently corrected with surgery or temporarily camouflaged with fillers.There are great non-surgical options to fill in under eye depressions and hollowness. Using dermal fillers, a liquid eye-lift can be performed. A dermal filler such as Restylane would be placed in the cheek and tear trough to hide the depression or bag underneath your eye. Surgery would require a fat-repositioning lower lid blepharoplasty. In this surgical procedure, fat from the eye area is moved into the tear trough depression filling the actual depression. I hope this helps!

Answer: Improving Under Eye with Fillers (Belotero, Volbella, Restylane Silk), Fraxel, Microneedling/PRP A combination approach will give the most improvement. Fillers, lasers, and microneedling/PRP can improve under the eyes. My patients try to get non surgical treatments to avoid surgery. We use PRP and stem cells there often. I suggest consulting with an expert to develop a treatment plan best suited for your short and long term goals. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Under eye wrinkles Hello! Wrinkles that form with movement such as smiling are best treated with Botox. I agree that skin resurfacing if very helpful as well, especially for fine wrinkles seen when NOT smiling. Finally, don't forget sunscreen to protect the skin and prevent further wrinkles. Good luck!
