How to get rid of under-eye wrinkles

Under-eye lines may be visible when the skin folds during smiling or squinting, or remain at rest as skin becomes less resilient. Sun exposure, repeated facial movement, dryness, smoking, and natural ageing can contribute. Crow's feet extend from the outer corners, while fine lines beneath the lower eyelid can have a different pattern. A consultation helps distinguish wrinkles from puffiness, pigmentation, or a change that needs medical review.

Use broad-spectrum sunscreen around the eye area without getting it in the eyes, wear sunglasses, moisturise with a fragrance-free product, and avoid rubbing. Introduce active products slowly because eyelid skin can become irritated. Botox can soften movement-related lines by reducing targeted muscle activity. Dermal fillers may be discussed when hollowness contributes to shadowing, but the under-eye area needs careful assessment by an experienced medical professional.

Seek assessment if lines appear with persistent swelling, redness, scaling, pain, vision changes, or a new one-sided change. After an injectable treatment, urgent review is needed for severe pain, pale or dusky skin, sudden visual symptoms, or rapidly increasing swelling. Do not apply strong exfoliants close to the eye if the skin is cracked or inflamed.

Ask whether the lines are mainly movement-related or due to volume loss, which option suits your anatomy, what temporary effects are expected, how eye-area risks are managed, and what skincare to use during recovery.
