How Effective Is Botulinum For Under-Eye Wrinkles?

Anand Patel • February 12, 2021

Question: "Hi, there. I'm a 27 year old woman who has unsightly under eye wrinkles. I take pretty good care if my skin. However, there seems to be nothing I can do to get rid of the creases under my eyes. My makeup settles in them, they are really aging me. Will Botox help with this and if not, what will? Really appreciate any help with this. Thanks."


Answer: "A combination of Botox and skin resurfacing may do the trick. Botox can help relax these lines, but must be done conservatively to prevent sagging of the lower eyelid rim. Coupling this with light skin resurfacing (chemical peel or laser) will help soften these lines. Another adjunct that will help is daily Retin A use under the guidance of a dermatologist."
