How to reduce wrinkles under the eyes

The skin under the eyes is thin and folds during smiling, blinking, and squinting. Sun exposure, dryness, rubbing, and age-related changes can make creases easier to see. Dark circles or puffiness may coexist but are separate concerns. Crow's Feet affect the outer corners, while lines directly beneath the eye may need a different assessment. Wrinkles alone do not explain every change around the eyes.

Use sunglasses, seek shade, and apply sunscreen carefully around the eyes without getting it into them. Pat rather than rub, and use a fragrance-free moisturiser if tolerated. Introduce active skincare gradually and stop if it burns or causes swelling. Botox or Dermal Fillers may be discussed for selected concerns, but injections near the eye need detailed anatomical assessment. Treatment may not suit people with certain eye conditions, medicines, or skin irritation.

Seek an eye or skin assessment for sudden one-sided swelling, pain, vision change, persistent rash, crusting, bleeding, or a changing lesion. Get urgent help after a procedure if vision becomes blurred, pain is severe, swelling worsens rapidly, or the skin changes colour. Avoid self-treating a new symptom with stronger products.

Are my lines caused mainly by movement, dryness, sun exposure, or volume change? Which products are safe for the lower eyelid? Would Botox or fillers create a suitable balance? What eye symptoms require urgent contact after treatment?
