I’m 51, had under eye filler at 41 and it stayed what seemed like forever. Now i feel like it’s completely gone but I’ve also got quite a bit more crows feet and fine lines now. What would be the recommended treatment by looking at my photo ? Laser? My main concern is wrinkles in this area - I don’t have bags or particularly dark circles.

Answer: Laser and botox Botox can help with the crows feet wrinkles. Because you don't have any bags/hollows, and it doesn't appear that you have a lot of excess skin on your lower eyelids, I would recommend a laser/energy based device. This will "iron" out your skin to make it smoother. I recommend going to a cosmetic dermatologist for a in person consult to see whats best for you.

Answer: Treatment of Under Eye Wrinkles without "Bags" There are a number of things to consider that make it difficult to answer here without more information and an exam. Wrinkles are caused by several things including laxity of the skin as well as thin skin without elasticity. However, there are some generalizations that can be made. First, at 51 you have not been making collagen or elastin in the skin for about 25 years, This thins the skin and makes it wrinkle. Therefore, you need to be on tretinoin (Retin-A) and Obagi's ELASTIderm to stimulate collagen and elastin in the skin no matter what else is done. If the skin is lax, then what you need is a lower blepharoplasty to remove the excess. If the tissues are relatively taught but just wrinkled, a laser or leveling peel will work nicely to smooth the wrinkles and stimulate collagen. This gets the job done quickly but does have a 2 week down time. Another option is to add a series of microneedlings to the tretinoin and ELASTIderm. This is slower but has essentially no down time.
