Question

Will Restylane Eyelight, or similar, soften the folds/fine lines under my eyes (especially when smiling)? I also have a bit of hollowness under my eyes, which I think contributes to the fine lines. Not considering Botox or Dysport, as I had a bad experience last time I had it done.

Under eye filler can help improve the hollowness and give a more uniform contour.  You can also consider peels or lasers to address fine lines and wrinkles.  We always recommend using medical grade skin care products like Transform MD and wearing sunscreen every day.

Thank you for sharing your question and posting your photos. Restylane Silk can partially improve the horizontal lines under the eyes. Treatment with an erbium laser can also alleviate some of the fine wrinkles. Make an appointment with an oculoplastic surgeon. 
Good luck!

Based on your concerns, Restylane Eyelight or similar hyaluronic acid-based fillers might be a suitable choice for you. These fillers can help soften the appearance of fine lines and folds under the eyes, as well as address the hollowness you're experiencing. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in the body that provides volume and hydration to the skin.

However, it's important to note that while these fillers can provide a more youthful appearance, they are not permanent solutions and will need to be repeated every 6-12 months, depending on the individual.

Moreover, as with any procedure, there are potential risks and side effects associated with injectable fillers. These can include temporary redness, swelling, bruising, or a lumpy feeling at the injection site.

Always consult with a board-certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon who specializes in facial aesthetics before moving forward with any treatment. They will be able to assess your individual situation and advise on the best course of action.

Additionally, consider other non-invasive treatments like topical retinoids, peptides, and vitamin C serums that can help improve skin texture and reduce the appearance of fine lines. A good skincare routine, coupled with a healthy lifestyle, can also contribute to improved skin health.

Remember, everyone's skin is unique, and what works well for one person may not work as well for another. It's important to have realistic expectations and to understand that results can vary.
