What should you know about erasing under-eye wrinkles?

The skin beneath the eyes is thin and moves with blinking, smiling, and squinting. Sun exposure, dryness, reduced elasticity, and changes in the tissues beneath the skin can make lines more visible. Lines that show mainly with expression differ from creases present when the face is relaxed. Under-eye wrinkles can overlap visually with [Crow's Feet](/conditions/crows-feet/) at the outer eye, but their location and movement pattern matter when choosing care.

Use shade, sunglasses, and sun protection that is suitable for the eye area. A gentle moisturiser can reduce the look of dryness; avoid rubbing and introduce active products slowly under professional guidance. A clinician may discuss [Botox](/treatments/injectables/botulinum-toxin-injection/) for selected movement-related lines or [Dermal Fillers](/treatments/injectables/dermal-fillers/) for carefully assessed volume concerns. [Sun-Damaged Skin](/conditions/photoaging/) and general [Wrinkles](/symptoms/wrinkles/) may need different strategies. Procedures near the eye require a detailed medical assessment.

Arrange medical review for persistent rash, itching, swelling, discharge, eye pain, or a change in vision rather than assuming the problem is cosmetic. After treatment, contact the clinic promptly for worsening pain, marked swelling, spreading redness, skin breakdown, or any visual symptom.

Ask whether the lines arise from movement, dryness, or volume change, which products are safe near your eyes, how close a procedure can be placed to the eye, and which symptoms need urgent review.
