Under Eye Wrinkles - Causes and Treatment Options
Under-eye wrinkles, also known as periorbital wrinkles, are a common concern. This guide outlines the causes of under-eye wrinkles and the treatment options that may be considered following consultation.
Causes of Under-Eye Wrinkles
Ageing is one of the main factors associated with under-eye wrinkles. Over time, collagen and elastin production decreases, which can contribute to fine lines and changes in skin texture. The skin around the eyes is thinner than in many other areas of the face, which can make these changes more noticeable.
Sun exposure can also contribute to skin changes around the eyes. Ultraviolet radiation may affect collagen and elastin, which can influence skin texture and elasticity over time.
Muscle movement from facial expression, including smiling, squinting, and frowning, can contribute to the development of dynamic lines. These lines may become more visible over time.
Genetics can influence how and when under-eye wrinkles develop. Some individuals may notice these changes earlier due to inherited skin characteristics.
Lifestyle factors such as smoking, poor nutrition, inadequate hydration, and ongoing stress may also affect skin quality and contribute to visible skin changes around the eyes.
Treatment Options for Under-Eye Wrinkles
Treatment options depend on the cause of the concern, the condition of the skin, and individual anatomy. Suitability for treatment is assessed during consultation.
Muscle-Relaxing Treatments
Muscle-relaxing injections may be considered where muscle movement is contributing to lines around the eye area. These treatments aim to reduce the activity of targeted muscles and may soften dynamic lines.
Volumising Treatments
Hyaluronic acid filler may be considered in selected cases where volume loss is contributing to the appearance of the under-eye area. Treatment suitability depends on individual assessment, as this area requires careful planning and technique.
Skin Quality Treatments
Skin-restructuring injectable treatments may be used to support hydration and overall skin quality in the under-eye region. These approaches may be considered as part of a broader treatment plan.
Biostimulatory Treatments
Biostimulatory injectable treatments may also be considered in some patients to support collagen response and improve skin integrity in the delicate under-eye area.
Laser-Based Treatments
Fractional laser resurfacing treatments may be recommended for some patients to address skin texture and fine lines around the eyes. This approach focuses on skin resurfacing and collagen remodelling. Recovery and outcomes vary between individuals.
