Wrinkles around the eyes

Wrinkles around the eyes are among the initial indications of skin aging, progressively becoming more prominent and deeply etched. Initially, these wrinkles manifest as dynamic lines observed during facial movements, eventually transitioning into static wrinkles. As individuals age, additional concerns may emerge around the eye area, including creased skin beneath the eyes, sunken appearance, dark circles, and lower eyelid bags. While Botox injections are the most effective approach, treatments like CO2 laser, biorevitalization, and other procedures can enhance the skin’s condition around the eyes, consequently diminishing the appearance of wrinkles.

Wrinkles around the eyes originate from the outer corner of the eye and extend outward. Initially, they belong to the category of mimic wrinkles, resulting from prominent facial expressions and muscle activity. These dynamic or emotional wrinkles primarily occur in the upper third of the face. Alongside eye wrinkles, there are also forehead wrinkles and “frown” wrinkles, which appear between the eyebrows. Laughing, frowning, and expressing curiosity are examples of facial movements that lead to continuous muscle activity, resulting in the development of small, shallow, and eventually deep wrinkles.
Referred to as “crow’s feet” wrinkles, eye wrinkles derive their name from their resemblance to the footprint of a bird’s foot. These fine lines and wrinkles serve as the initial indications of skin aging, often becoming noticeable between the ages of 25 and 30, along with wrinkles around the lips. Over time, repeated muscle movements, particularly during laughter, cause the eye wrinkles to deepen. Consequently, these dynamic wrinkles transition into static wrinkles, remaining visible even when the face is at rest and devoid of any movement.

Aesthetic medicine offers a range of anti-aging procedures to effectively address wrinkles around the eyes. At our practice, we employ various non-invasive treatments with great success:

1. Botox injections,
2. CO2 laser treatment,
3. Skin quality improvement treatments, such as biorevitalization, mesotherapy, chemical peels, dermapen, and PRP therapy,
4. Filling deeper wrinkles with hyaluronic fillers.

It is important to recognize that wrinkles, particularly static ones, cannot be solely resolved through Botox injections. Additional procedures, such as fillers or skin tightening using a CO2 laser, may be necessary to complement the treatment.

The most efficient and rapid method for eliminating mimic wrinkles, including those around the eyes, is undoubtedly Botox. Precisely targeted injections of Botox in the eye area temporarily immobilize the underlying muscles. By preventing muscle spasms and subsequent skin wrinkling, we not only soften and diminish existing wrinkles, but also proactively help the skin maintain its freshness and elasticity.

How does Botox work in removing eye wrinkles?

Botox is a painless, non-surgical, and entirely safe procedure that swiftly eradicates wrinkles. It effectively treats facial wrinkles caused by muscle contractions and facial expressions. Derived from natural sources, Botox is a purified neurotoxin obtained from the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. It is administered in highly diluted concentrations. Botox functions by obstructing acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter responsible for transmitting electrical impulses that trigger muscle contractions. Consequently, muscle contractions are reduced, causing the muscles to temporarily relax and resulting in fewer skin wrinkles.
Botox treatment for eye wrinkles can commence at the first appearance of small wrinkles, ensuring skin elasticity and structure are preserved while preventing the formation of deeper wrinkles around the eyes. Undoubtedly, Botox represents the most effective solution for addressing eye wrinkles in mature skin.

What does the procedure entail?

Botox is administered using thin needles to minimize discomfort during the treatment. The entire procedure typically lasts a few minutes, requiring no recovery time. You can immediately resume your daily activities. Initial results are noticeable within 2 to 4 days, while the full effects become apparent around ten days, resulting in smoothed skin and diminished wrinkles.

The fractional CO2 laser is an incredibly effective method for treating wrinkles around the eyes. It is considered the gold standard for skin tightening, wrinkle reduction, scar removal, pigmentation correction, and stretch mark treatment. This laser delivers faster results and requires a shorter recovery period. It offers four distinct levels of treatment, ensuring customization according to each patient’s specific needs.

How does the CO2 laser address wrinkles?

This laser is unique because it simultaneously targets both the outer layer of the skin (epidermis) and the deeper layer (dermis). Initially, the laser eliminates the thin, damaged upper layer of the skin. Subsequently, the laser’s heat generates microchannels in the deeper skin layers, stimulating collagen production and the regeneration of new skin cells. The surrounding tissue remains unharmed, enabling quicker skin healing and a reduced recovery time.

Who is suitable for CO2 laser treatment?

CO2 laser treatment is highly effective for addressing the following concerns around the eye area:

1. Excess skin on the upper and lower eyelids.
2. Existing wrinkles, whether deep or shallow.

When it comes to skin tightening, CO2 laser achieves the best effects in removing wrinkles under the eyes and above the lips. Intensive stimulation of the deeper layers of the skin leads to the production of new and remodeling of the existing collagen. These fibers create a support network for the skin, it becomes tighter and wrinkles are smoothed.

Biorevitalization is a safe and effective injection method that provides deep hydration, firmness, volume, and rejuvenation to the skin. By utilizing high-quality products containing hyaluronic acid and amino acids, the treatment significantly improves skin quality, leading to a reduction in fine lines and wrinkles.

What does the procedure entail?

Initially, a thorough examination is conducted to determine the most suitable product for achieving optimal results. Using fine needles, the biorevitalization product is administered around the eyes or across the entire facial surface for full-face treatment. The procedure typically lasts around 45 minutes, with immediate visible results.

Which products are utilized?

It is important to note that we exclusively employ top-quality registered products, such as Jalupro, Restylane Vital, JUVÉDERM Volite, and others. These products deeply hydrate the skin, enhance collagen and elastin production, and accelerate cellular metabolism. For optimal outcomes, we generally recommend a series of three treatments, with each session spaced one month apart.

Mesotherapy involves injecting a mesococktail into the skin, providing deep nourishment and radiance with its rich blend of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Specifically targeting wrinkles around the eyes, this treatment reduces the visibility of fine lines and wrinkles while significantly improving skin quality.

What does the procedure entail?

Following an examination, the doctor will determine the optimal combination of mesococktails for achieving the desired results. The treatment begins with facial cleansing, followed by the application of a local anesthetic. Using a thin needle, the mesococktails are then injected into the skin. Additionally, mesotherapy cocktails can be applied after dermapen treatment to further stimulate skin revitalization and the production of collagen and elastin.

What mesococtails do we use?

The selection of mesococktails is crucial as our aim is to attain the best possible outcomes for each patient. For intensive rejuvenation, we choose a cocktail containing a high concentration of hyaluronic acid, vitamins, peptides, and retinol (such as Revitacare and Aesthetic Dermal RSS). This approach effectively hydrates and rejuvenates the face. Read everything about mesotherapy here.

If sunken tear troughs and dark circles are present alongside wrinkles around the eyes, treatment with hyaluronic fillers is often recommended as a primary option. Fillers help restore lost volume in the affected areas, resulting in smoother and tighter skin, which reduces the visibility of wrinkles. By compensating for tissue volume loss, fillers can significantly improve the appearance of sunken tear troughs and dark circles.You can find out more about the effects and results of treatment with hyaluronic fillers here.
